You might have to pay for the rework and also for the pearls if you are making a jump in size and/or quality, but it's worth it. <br /><br />When considering other pearls, ask her to shoot them in natural light so the conditions are as close to how they look when you wear them as possible.<br /><br />re your last sentence, there are some women who are *never* pleased. I have no idea if you are like that, but you will know. <br /><br />AN: That will be fun, and you are able to knot pearls yourself, a talent I envy. <br /><br />Belle: Love it when that happens. I have not deals to promote any products and a mission to find great sources. Very happy she found you.<br /><br />Susan, une femme, Rubi, AN: So who's the lucky one with the abalone ring?Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-3567121837996452372011-06-15T07:01:04.676-04:002011-06-15T07:01:04.676-04:00Me too enjoy your pear posts.

The size contrast is stunning though the large ones are 'shell pearls' and therefore fake, of course.ANnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-73998321272734263422011-06-14T13:30:23.416-04:002011-06-14T13:30:23.416-04:00Need your thoughts on this...

It was quite an effort to find the right pearls, clasp etc and took awhile. I received the finishednproduct, and now maybe 6-8 weeks have gone by. I've worn the necklace repeatedly, because it fits the "wardrobe need" but to be honest, I don't adore it. It is fine, good, very beautiful, but it isn't quite right. The pearls are not quite right, even though I okayed them from a photo. <br />I've found that I'm still kind of looking for a replacement/after shopping...<br /><br />Should I contact the designer? Should I stop being so picky/hard to please and just say enough?<br />What would you do?<br />Should I contact the designer?Spacegeeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-76831490558153972502011-06-14T13:23:51.506-04:002011-06-14T13:23:51.506-04:00Oh, my.
