No, but now that I know I am happy with A grade, that is more of short term possibility!

I think I got lucky on these studs. They are very white, which I wanted, and the luster is amazing.

cecilia2 - there's no Mikimoto boutique where I live. The nearest Mikimoto is in the capital, 3.5 hours drive and with my condition now, I seldom travel to the capital for business trip or for short holidays.

Other than that, I have to wait for DH to go to HK on his business trips to get them for me as it's cheaper there, with 10% discount. He's definitely not going to get them for me....as he is asking me to save my money especially during this slowdown or he'll say don't you have enough jewellery? Geez....it's better for me to get them myself!

The Dewy Eve earrings and matching pendant from the 2009 collection is nice....

If you kindly don't mind me asking about how much where the Mikimoto Olive Earrings, I am only asking because I think they would go perfect with my Wedding Dress and since I am marrying in Greece to a Greek I like the fact that it is Olive branch looking.

I understand. You can always get pearl studs sometime down the road. If you ever want to window shop just for fun, Bailey Banks & Biddle has Mikimoto. Nordstrom does as well.

cecilia2 - just told DH about the pearl studs...he told me to be patient and wait! He added that my wish list is getting longer and longer....that's a good sign! HA! Anyway, I like the black south sea or the golden south sea pearl stud....
