My anniversary pearls from my boyfriend arrived today!! Before handing them over to him to keep until our actual anniversary in December, I managed to sneak a few pics in. I am keeping the ring, but the studs and the bracelet are in his possession right now. (These are actually not from PearlsOnly, rather, from a jeweller in Hong Kong)
Here is the entire annivesary set:
First piece, 8 mm Japanese Akoya pearl bracelet, AA+ grade, white with silver overtones (although it looks more rosé to me IRL) and 18K white gold clasp. Each pearl is almost perfectly round and they are matched extremely well.
I am AMAZED at this piece...the pearls are SO SO SO lustrous. Simply gorgeous!
Next, 8 mm Japanese Akoya pearl stud earrings, AAA grade, white with silver overtones and 14K white gold back. These are, for some reason, slightly less lustrous than the pearls in my bracelet although the grade is higher than the bracelet pearls. Regardless, these are beautiful and show up quite nicely on my ears.
10 mm South Sea Pearl, mounted on white gold plated 925 silver ring. I loveee this ring. Although it's still part of the anniversary gift, my boyfriend has agreed to let me keep this piece for now. The simple setting really shows up the enormous pearl, and I FINALLY fulfilled my dream of owning a South Sea Pearl one day!
And these are free freshwater earrings that came with my order...unfortunately one pearl came out of the earring post so I need to super glue it back in tomorrow No biggie if I can't fix it though, I will have 3 pairs of white pearl studs very soon (I have a pair of 12 mm South Sea studs on order)
