When I turned 30 my parents gave me a set of pearls for my birthday. Since there is such a huge range of colors and shades, they let me chose my own. I thought it would be an easy thing. Decide how long of a strand I want and what size pearls.
Pearls are white… so there’s no issue there, right?
Wrong!
There had to have been 30 shades of “white” pearls to look at. And I think I looked for over an hour.
And I selected these… a soft white with a rosy gold overtone.
It is a beautiful strand of pearls.
A wonderful gift from the sea.
Thanks Dad and Mom… I still love them.
What lovely photos... and pearls are one of my favourite. I love the shots of them with the seashells...a nic juxtaposition....hard to believe where they come from really.
