A family-member is going to China in a couple of weeks and says she can pick up something for me at the Peal Marked in Beijing if there is something I want.
So, ladies, do you have some good ideas of what to buy?
I don't think I would spend more than max 1000 US$.
I already have some pearls:
I have some peals bought in Japan in the '80s, they are cultured saltwater pearls, akoya?
I have a strand that is about 100 cm, and one that is about 60 cm. They are both white with a pinkish glow. I think they are about 6-7mm. I have a pair of earstuds in the same colour - about 7-8 mm, and I have a yellow gold ring with the same kind of pearl.
I have a necklace of small white freshwater pearls, several strands twisted together. I also have a similar necklace of brown/bronze coloured freshwater pearls.
I also have a pair of japanese pearl earstuds that are button shaped and have a pink-brown colour.
So what do I want?
I would like another pair of white pinkish pearl studs, but much bigger than the ones I have. How big pearls can one wear on ones earlobe before it is too big? 12 mm? (I'm almost 5.8 tall)
I would also like a pair of big mabe peal studs. I would like them to be round with a white gold bezel. Maybe a pendent also?
I'd like a necklace, just around my neck, with big white pearls.
I'd like a 3-strand necklace with quite big white pearls.
I'd like a long long strand, maybe 200 cm or longer? that can be worn in several different ways.
I'd like a long strand of freshwater pearls, maybe several shapes and/or colours together so that it will make a more casual accessory.
Of course I will only get one or a few of all these things.
I find that I don't wear my white pearl strands that much. I find them a bit formal, and also the length on the longer strands are "wrong", as in they are less versatile. They are either too long or too short.
Most days I wear my diamond and white gold jewelry. And when I dress up and its not too formal, I tend to wear more fashion-jewelry. I have a few Dyrberg/Kern sets that I use a lot (they use different kind of stones, crystals etc and are kind of rough).
When it comes to pearls and colours, I suppose ones skin tone matters to what is more flattering.
I am typical scandinavian looking with blond hair, and a very very pale skin tone with a pinkish glow and brown-green eyes.
This is a lot of ramble, but at least it has started my own thinking process to what I may want.
