Don't know if this counts since it's more than just pearls. It's an Indian 22k solid gold necklace, all the gold is solid 22k, genuine rubies, genuine diamonds including both the cut and the polki (natural) and the pearls and micro pearls (zoom in) are genuine South Sea pearls. I paid about 5k CAD about 5 years ago for it inside India, brought it to Canada and had it valued at about 8k and since then gold and precious gems have nearly doubled so I estimate it's worth well over at least 12k CAD now. I don't wear it except rarely as it's kind of over the top not sure what to wear it to LOL but hesitant to sell it too as it's beautiful. It's two peacocks on the sides. The whole thing is handmade.

My new black Tahitian earrings arrived to match my ring!! So happy with them :love: they're a tiny bit darker than my ring, but still an extremely close match and they compliment each other beautifully. Lustre is beautiful and the colour is lovely. I think it's best that they're a tiny bit darker, as theyre 1mm or so smaller than the pearl in the ring. Screenshot 2021-10-18 at 17.31.33.pngScreenshot 2021-10-18 at 17.31.40.png
Can't wait to wear them together :loveeyes:

Amazing!!! Rubies work so beautifully with Indian gold. My husbands family are always wanting me to wear more Indian gold, but I'm too fair to pull it off :-s I bet this piece looks amazing on you. The pearls look beautiful, I love golden pearls.

Love this! Of course this can dress up a LBD, but I personally would wear it with a black sweater and (whispers) jeans. :D

as I get older, I am almost 54, I wear bigger jewelry, so pearl studs correspond. Jewelry shrinkage is real. Also. I have a chunky ear lobe, so I find that a bigger pearl makes my lobe look more dainty

Hi Pearlover2305, I would recommend Winterson.co.uk They specialize in selling high-quality pearls online. I suggest getting in touch with them, and telling them exactly what you are looking for.
