To be honest, I want to ask for refund- money back refund because I don't want to wait to get the pearl chocker.
The chocker's design allows the wearer to move the length long or short to adapt to the neck so I can move it up or down a bit because of the buckle but who knows, later I will try on their classic two strands or maybe something else will catch my attention. You see why I am desperated to get the money back.
Yes, one year limit. Judging from the situation and my pickiness, I doubt I will find something by the end of the year. Better purchase the pearl and enjoy wearing it for the time being.

I would ask for a refund. First, they don't have any inventory, second, they've given you a deadline to use your credit. But since they can't fulfill any order you might make, it's impossible for you to use your credit. As a matter of goodwill, to avoid losing you as a client, and given these extraordinary circumstances, I would ask that they make an exception and issue a refund. The issues is not whether they're able to, they can do so if they want, in other words, it's a matter of discretion and the discretion should be exercised in your favor.

You are already a connoisseur as your eye saw the different pearl tones. Yes, pearls typically come in two overtones, Mikimoto calls them Rose Overtone or Silver Overtone. It's preference as to what you want. You already know about grade levels, so you can decide what grade you like. I want to point out, whatever grade you decide, all Mikimoto pearls are already at the top 5% of quality pearls. There is no average or bad Mikimoto strand; all are top notch.

On the choker length, I really love chokers too. At one point, I was thinking of getting jumbo size pearls and wearing them as a tight choker, like Wilma Flinstone. :biggrin: I think chokers are gorgeous, and a double-strand choker would be beautiful. You can also wear it with many outfits, casual and dressy. It can look elegant or goth, depending on your outfit, versatile.

As FYI, if you find a strand you like but it needs to be shortened to make a choker (I have a thin neck, and I recall you said you do too), you can always take those extra pearls and make a bracelet. All you need to do is buy a few extra inches of loose pearls needed to make a 7" bracelet (Mikimoto will match the pearls for you). Then, buy the clasp, the M charm, and poof... now you have a bracelet. More importantly, you are not wasting those extra pearls. Just a thought in case you decide to customize the length of your pearl necklace.

I am glad you finally found a short necklace you like. Good luck pearl shopping! I am so excited for you!

It turns out that mikimoto in my city doesn't grade their pearl ear studs while in the US, they grade them. So it's a bit tricky, the best only goes to those who have deep knowledge about pearls.
They only grade their classic pearl strand. Sigh!

Does anyone here have a diamond tennis necklace and wear it? I am considering getting a small 4 prong one (even size as I do not like graduated) to wear along or layered with other pieces. Unsure of what I will layer. I love the simplicity of it for everyday wear.

I should receive mine by Wednesday. If it’s to my standard I will post it to show you!
