Hi all,
After perusing online and reading this subreddit I am a little confused. I recently got a decent job and want to buy my mom a good mother’s day gift, something she can enjoy and wear for a long time, but since I am also paying debt budget is a delicate balance. I know she will like pearls and she doesn’t have real pearls so I want to get a necklace for her. Pearl paradise is highly recommended in this subreddit with pearl source a close second, so I went and checked and found these freshwater pearls that are the best quality both websites offer. Pearl paradise one is a little stretch for me but I can make it work if there is going to be an obvious quality difference. The cheaper one is preferred if most people can’t tell the quality difference if both necklaces are side by side.
Is there usually a noticeable difference in the pearls both companies provide? Are there any other retailers you might recommend? Any other advice? (She will not wear jewelry unless it is a necklace)
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
