Just gorgeous!!!!I officially suffer from pearl shrinkage syndrome. In the past I didn’t want pearl studs larger than 9mm...now I’m moving into the 11-12mm range. I just purchased a pair of 11-12mm Tahitian studs because I am loving my 11-12mm gssp ones. I asked for 18k backs and he kindly switched them out.

Me too, but now that I've been wearing the GSSP ones, I find I'm reaching for them more and more.
All I wear are school t-shirts so I’m a rumpled mess, but I wear my pearls anyway! South sea today!
Thank you to whoever recommended the pearl forum's educational content to me! After hemming and hawing for a month or two I settled for this pair of WSS gold hoops as my first pearl purchase! Absolutely floored by the luster of WSS pearls, the pictures do no justice to them in real life. Thank you so much again for your help!! Look forward to seeing (and buying!!) more Pearls

I have & am happy with my purchase but I do think PP's quality is consistent & higher. Pearls of Joy is also a reputable seller.Hello knowledgeable ladiesI was wondering if any of you have any experience buying from The Pearl Source? And how would you compare that vendor to Pearl Paradise?
Lots of people really like Cees Van Oije who you can find on Instagram. I think his prices tend to be better than Pearl Paradise. But lots of people seem very happy with PP.
Nothing that I’m wearing yet, but I have all these south sea beauties to make into pendants! There is one dark drop that is really fascinating to me (it’s the one on the top right). Sometimes that ring around it looks translucent and other times opaque, depending on the angle. I love interesting pearls!
I agree. Cees can also be found on Facebook. I have quite a few pieces from him & am completely thrilled. Cees will be who I go to for my second strand of Fiji Tahitians.
You ladies have lovely pieces.
My only piece- Japanese Akoyas.
