Would it be ok to have the bridesmaids wear gold necklaces when I (the bride) will be wearing a silver tiara and either pearls or a silver necklace?
My stuff…

my colors are burgundy Ivory and accents of pink… the girls dresses are burgundy/wine

I want to decorate a room with a beach theme. I want my walls to resemble mother-of-pearl, but I’m not sure how to do that.

I am about to close on a home and I want to do something different when painting the walls. I will test the paint on a wall before applying it to the entire room, however I would love to have a mother of pearl glow to the paint.
Does anyone know how to do it or where I can purchase it?

I’m looking to buy pearl earrings (studs) but I’m not sure where to start. What are the different types of pearls that are available, I’ve seen names such as freshwater, akoya etc… but which are the best quality? I definitely do not want fake ones. Also are there any good online sites where you can purchase such earrings?

Thanks

Hi, I’m looking to get a pair of pearl stud earrings as a gift, and I don’t know what to look for. I’ve seen Cultured Pearls, Freshwater Pearls, Akoya Pearls, and several other names associated with earrings. What do I look for so that I get a pair of genuine pearls from the ocean or wherever and not plastic ones or ones that are manmade (like how cubic zirconia is made- I want real pearls). I’m looking for a nice luster, a variety of precious metal backings, and a variety of backings/closures. I haven’t decided what I want. Also, what is the most common size women buy because I don’t want teeny tiny pearls but I’m not into that big pearl look either. I want something tasteful, elegant, and I guess, mid-sized. Oh, and where are the best places to buy pearls from (if you know of any online jewelers too that are great then I’d love to hear from you). Is Bluefly a good site? I was looking at the Akoya pearls and they seem very nice. Sorry for the excess of info. Thanks.
Oops, I meant Blue Nile not Blue Fly. Blue Nile is the jewelry site and Blue Fly sells designer clothes and accessories. Sorry for the mistake.
I doubt this matters, but I’m getting this as a present for my Mom’s birthday and so I want something that she would buy for herself or better, and I would hate to get her anything lacking in quality.
