It’s a nice size and the quality is top. Lucky girl!!Thanks so much - it's arriving tomorrow! The pearl is just under 9mmView attachment 5221128
My ring just arrived!!! The lustre is absolutely amazing so pleased with it. I have some earrings on the way too - hoping the pearls are a good colour match.

It’s a ‘black’ Pearl but has quite a silvery lustre to it as opposed to the peacock lustre. It’s beautiful and looks very different in different lights. The earrings look like a good match online, so hopefully they match up well! I’m not looking for an exact match, but would like them to be the same colour tone
Hello everyone, i'm just into the pearl world & have some recently 
and so glad that i found this forum^^ hope to learn more from you guys, @MBUIOGVA for me my everyday size will be a 9.5-10 mm
and so glad that i found this forum^^ hope to learn more from you guys, @MBUIOGVA for me my everyday size will be a 9.5-10 mm Hello Pearlover2305, Thank you for your answer, and welcome to the Purse Forum. I am in the process of buying another pair of pearl studs. I have learned that a fraction of a millimeter maters when buying pearl stud earrings. My idea is to not hide the earlobe.... I recently bought a pair of South Sea studs in 10.7 mm and they look big because they cover my earlobe. I am going to try the 9.5 to 10 mm ones you suggest and see.

For me, I like 7-8mm for everyday. It’s nothing to do with how it covers my earlobe or the weight but more to do with answering the phone when it rings - the bigger studs get in the way for me. Love the look of bigger studs though
This is a good point to consider. Thank you for bringing it up. The telephone is a necessary evil these days. I have a pair of Akoyas I love in this size range already, and yes, they are comfortable. I have been thinking as I am becoming a middle aged woman, a bigger pair of stud earrings will look great.

for me Japanese Akoya pearls are my favorites, their shine and luster are just amazing especially when it has the aurora effect
how about you? among all your collections or experience, which one attracts you the most?I agree! I have a pair of 8mm SS pearls and I really love them. Perfect size for daily wear
How interesting... I have not heard about the aurora effect on Akoyas....I hope you don’t mind me asking, what is this? I love Akoyas too... I am currently hunting some in the neighborhood of 9.5mm. I like South Sea pearls as well.....although nowadays there are some SS that can look like Akoyas, color wise. South Sea have a thicker nacre and according to my pearl broker, they will last longer than Akoyas...for me Japanese Akoya pearls are my favorites, their shine and luster are just amazing especially when it has the aurora effect
I like Tahitian too...
I am a sucker for pearls.
Love your SS 8mm. Thank you for the picture. They look great on you!I agree! I have a pair of 8mm SS pearls and I really love them. Perfect size for daily wear
Wow it's good, yes tahiti & south sea have its own attractiveness
I have someone who supply me with akoya, he shared with me a lot about akoya & got into akoya world lately haha ><
Aurora effect is the characteristic phenomena of iridescent color that may appear on the surface of a pearl so it will look like this as an example
