Wow!!!
I am intrigued by the book. I love pearls so much. What are your thoughts about the book? I love your necklaces too. I can see lots of thought went into those.

I'm choosing some Akoya earrings from a jeweller in Japan and thought I would share these beautiful earrings that they have! I'm choosing between these for Valentines :love: I don't have any Akoya studs, only South Sea. and FW. Let me know if anyone would like their information! They have some amazing statement earrings and so many beautiful simple pairs.

I am so glad I consulted TPF before making any decisions on buying new pearls! @jasmynh1 so kindly recommended TJC, and although I was initially sceptical, given how competitive the prices were, even in comparison to The Pearl Source and Pearls Only, I pulled the trigger on a beautiful Akoya strand.
It arrived yesterday, and I am in love!

I only wish it came with a nice box rather than the velvet bag, but for £79.99 (I had a further discount code!) I shouldn’t really be complaining, (rather than paying £600 for Tiffany freshwater pearls just for the silver clasp and pretty blue box).

What is TJC? Is there a link? TIA.

TJC is a jewelry channel in the UK - but I think there is a US equivalent. It is similar to Gemporia.

They look so elegant on you! Are these branded ie. Tiffany's? Is it worth it to buy pearls from Tiffany's or Mikimoto's?

Thanks so much! They are unbranded South Sea pearls. I personally wouldn't pay for branded ones from Tiffany or Mikimoto - but I know serious pearl enthusiasts do! I suppose it is like buying a plain leather bag from Hermes. I think you can get fantastic quality pearls from Etsy - I just ordered these from a lovely shop in Japan:

They are Akoyas of an amazing quality. Let me know if you want the shop link!

These are beautiful. I like the setting too. I hope you don’t mind me asking about the quality grade of pearls you got? The luster is beautiful, and they are perfectly matched. Yes, it would be good to know where you got them. Wear your lovely pearls in good health....
