My wife's opinion is that a regular strand, no taper, is the way to go. |

Any more sexual innuendo will result in locks or warnings. "it's arfcom" is not an excuse. Please behave like adults.

I could do that but she also needs a new(ish) car, so I need to keep it <$1000.00 I'm thinking about this set in 16 or 18. 18" Freshwater 7-7.5mm pearls and these ear rings 7mm Pearl Earrings Originally Posted By gopeterson:

No she hasn't but I've always viewed them as classy and elegant not old fashioned. Is that really what everyone thinks about pearls

My fashion sense is nil. But I really have not noticed many women wearing pearls lately. Could you discretely bounce it off one of her close friends |

Ignore everything I said. My wife tells me that pearls are not out of style. They are "classic". Of course she knows zippo about important things like which round for zombies so we are even.

The length I like is around 18 or smaller. The size of the pearl depends on what kind of pearl you are getting but around 7mm would be my choice. Whether its tapered or not is kind of a personal choice. If she is really dainty and doesn't like large jewelry then I would get it tapered.

I've never been into pearls myself but I'm sure there is a population of women out there that still like them. I'd rather eat the oyster.

I love my pearl necklace.
Get an idea of what shade she likes. I don't like the bright white, I like the off white. I wore my mom's on my wedding day. There were darker than off white, and my grandma's were almost brown. |

got my GF a 18" strand of 8mm baroque style pearls (can't for the life of me recall if they're tihitian or akoya
they are saltwater though) for Christmas. she likes them pretty well.
they're not top of the line, but they're still pretty nice. |

you're right. pearls are timeless. you can dress them up or down. I would take that set you picked any day! I think she will love them! i personally wouldnt want the tapered, and im small so id go with the smaller chain too. |

I think I've settled on this necklace 7mm Akoya pearls, 18" strand with matching e-rings.
Would you want a white, ivory, or rose overtone? 18" 7mm pearl necklace |
