Your pearls look fantastic and they'll look great with anything!
Fun fact: Years ago, when I was a medical intern, one of the co-interns use to wear pearls everyday, even when we were wearing scrubs on the wards! If they look great at 2am on call, they definitely look great with jeans and a t-shirt!
Looking to purchase my first pair of pearl studs. Would prefer not “starter pearl studs” but something nice now that I will use and not want to upgrade later. Is there usually a big difference from AA+ to AAA? Is 9-9.5 a good size? Also, white gold or yellow gold? Open to other retailers as well (including mikimoto which I haven’t been to yet). Thanks!

9-9.5mm is way up there in terms of size for Akoya pearls. It is also a very good size to start with and if that will be your only pair of studs, you definitely cannot go wrong with such a good size. I think you should email Pearl Paradise (PP) and ask them to confirm what the differences are between the 2 grades. I think it is likely to be the surface quality - AAA should be totally perfect and round and PP should be able to confirm this.
As for the colour of the gold, since the posts and backs stay behind your ears, just choose the colour of gold that you prefer
If given a choice, I will always opt for yellow gold as some of my studs are set in silver so I just want to differentiate them If you are looking for a size bigger than 9-9.5mm, then you can consider South Sea studs. I think I speak for a lot of us here when I say that more than 10mm feels grander. As for me, I have a variety of sizes for my studs, i.e. from 6-12mm. My 12mm ones are my Golden and White South Sea studs while my 9-10mm are my Tahitian and Akoya studs. My smaller ones are the freshwaters set in either gold or silver, Hanadama set in gold (from Pearl Paradise) and a pair of blue Akoya studs and smaller Tahitian studs set in silver.
Years later, I know. Searching for pearl forums to find a buyer. Are there any legit ones out there in internet land now?
Happy New Year’s Eve! I ordered a strand of funky Tahitian pearls on Christmas from Hong Kong. They just arrived at my home in TX. Unfortunately I’m out of town until the 2nd. My orbit clasp is in the mail. Hopefully that arrives before I get home. Tahitian pearls seem to be a weakness for me! Pics to come.
Finished stringing my circle Tahitians. I love the size and luster of this strand. 11-14.5!
