The problem here is that giving someone a pair of pearl earrings says, “I was thinking of you and picked out something I think you’ll like.” But three pairs says, “I’m giving you these because I got a deal on some pearls.”
Fortunately, there is a solution. Give one pair to each of three special ladies! Er, in private. On different days. Ideally in different cities.
Well I think I’m going to be in a relationship with an great girl sometime in the near future, so I’ll get these as a buffer for the okay girls I date in-between then and now
@revloki I think these are a fine purchase for an “okay” relationship. “Real” anything (pearls included) are nice. Better than going to a big box store and buying something that the finish might rub off on in a month… oops. Hope these don’t do that!
@Stallion reminds me of the first piece of jewelry, a shitty diamond CHIP necklace… that my husband, whom At the time was my boyfriend…(I should have pondered that in hindsight) ever bought me… ughh ahhh ughhhhh gawd…from Walmart…i believe i said, thanks! Did you get the dog food too while you were there? Can’t miss it, it’s right next to the freakin jewelry counter!!! Omg… 15 years later and I’m not sure where it’s at… probably took it back for a microwave
@jdserrano1 Ha Ha I can imagine the pain!!!:) Even when I was young I’d buy girlfriends quality jewelry. My dad always had my mom trimmed out in nice stuff from europe, so I guess that’s where I get it. My wife now doesn’t complain every time we set a $100 Christmas gift limit and I come home with diamonds and sapphires:)
@jbrookebarrow you do realize that the black box is the set with three silver pairs and the silver box oddly has 2 gold 1 silver (and black/peacock pearls)
@Serafyna Yes I did order the “black box.” I just meant I got the box with all the silver pieces. But why would the manufacturer even do that to begin with?
@mike808 the exchange rate is too high- i’d need at least 7 sets for the 64oz. top-shelf cadillac margarita.
(this is why I limit myself to only 1 margarita a day.)
@alacrity The exchange rate improves dramatically after drinking the the first 16oz. And you can switch to Matt’s Special Mehrgarita for more savings on the second and third. After that, its four on the floor until …
Got these for my girlfriend from morningsave, to make up for it I had to get her an Apple Watch. That’s what I get for dating a woman with good taste, even if her taste in men is questionable.
I would wear the rose gold/pink, the yellow gold/white matches the earlier Meh necklace I gave my mom this Christmas (and thus would be an excellent birthday or Mother’s Day present), and hopefully sometime this year I’ll find a cute girl to give the white gold/black pair. So yes, bought the silver one.
If they are so bad, why did they sell out 3 times last time they were offered? And yet again? Hmmm, think I will set my alarm for 1 PM Pac time. Any advice? This will be my first experience as a VMPer trying to snatch up the precious few holdovers!
@dlcarson maybe look at the old sales and see if you can guesstimate how long they lasted then… other than that, just hope it goes through or that they will be offered yet again… maybe as the offer that showed up on my phone (see screenshot above)
If this sold out, I have some toe nail clippings and organic manscape hair I would like to sell, guaranteed to get you the same result of these earrings when gifted. Free shipping.
Sigh-Honora to these…
Pearl earrings, how cultured!

@rpantos and hear "not in the hair!! NOT IN THE HAIR!!" 3 times? livin’ dangerously, that…
@alacrity you must have purchased the pearl necklace a few weeks back… prepared huh?
@rpantos Or you know, consensual polyamory. And/or keeping one set for yourself.
Or giving the set, saying “I think you’ll like this, but didn’t know which color you’d like, so I picked all of the above.”
Meh, I picked up some. I’m in a relationship with a girl I think is “okay”. She’s not expensive jewelry level yet. Just “acceptable jewelry” okay.
Well I think I’m going to be in a relationship with an great girl sometime in the near future, so I’ll get these as a buffer for the okay girls I date in-between then and now
@haydesigner Honora Pearl Earrings: For when you want to say “I think you’ll do for now, thanks for letting me put it in you.”
@revloki This is where you explain the difference between women and boats.
@revloki I think these are a fine purchase for an “okay” relationship. “Real” anything (pearls included) are nice. Better than going to a big box store and buying something that the finish might rub off on in a month… oops. Hope these don’t do that!
Great way to get yourself dumped or put on the $hit list, i’ll pass.

Keep the damn earrings, or earrrrrings. I want the f’n Irk coin. Thank you.
Picked up the silver box as sterling looks better than that gold plating mess. Plus the pastels will look pretty dangling w my hair up.
My goal is to wear all three at once. From the same hole. Skill
@jbrookebarrow you do realize that the black box is the set with three silver pairs and the silver box oddly has 2 gold 1 silver (and black/peacock pearls)
Just making sure you ordered correctly.
@jbrookebarrow I’ve never encountered a female bragging about fitting three in the same hole. Thank you for that.
@Serafyna Yes I did order the “black box.” I just meant I got the box with all the silver pieces. But why would the manufacturer even do that to begin with?
Sperm cells?
I hope no oysters were harmed when they made these…
@daveinwarsh Not to worry. These are from freshwater mussels.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_freshwater_pearls
@daveinwarsh no but I bet small children might have been… meh
Will these work as a Prince Albert?
@Fish_Kungfu Nope. Tain’t happening.
these are absolutely useless for margaritas.
@alacrity Offer them to someone in exchange for a margarita?
@alacrity You’re not trying.
@gertiestn they’d add too much fiber.

Mehhhhh
And ughhh no way… give me cubic zirconia, least that sparkles… pearls should be bought for your mama not your mami
Meh pearls – meh
I would have been interested in these if they were squirrel earrings. But alas.
@Mehsturbator You could make a bracelate for a squirrel from these.
So the silver box collection is the gold(tone) hooks? Why would that not be the silver hooks?
Got these for my girlfriend from morningsave, to make up for it I had to get her an Apple Watch. That’s what I get for dating a woman with good taste, even if her taste in men is questionable.
@CKizziar wow - your girlfriend sure has expensive taste in “stuff.” What happens if/when you get married?
@CKizziar Ooh, big red flag there.
I think pearls would look pretty awkward drooping down like that.
I would wear the rose gold/pink, the yellow gold/white matches the earlier Meh necklace I gave my mom this Christmas (and thus would be an excellent birthday or Mother’s Day present), and hopefully sometime this year I’ll find a cute girl to give the white gold/black pair. So yes, bought the silver one.

@Kawa You and I are both on a quest to find a cute girl this year. I wish you the best of luck.
Boring.
Tri Thursday?
What do you say when the paint starts to flake off?
@growyoungagain flakey ?
@growyoungagain ja’wanna diet?
@growyoungagain you say… Mehhh, you get what you pay for
Simple and cute gift for a daughter.

@dlcarson load and log in to meh.com on 2 different devices and browsers so you maximize your chance to get it
Good for traveling, because not a lot of angst if something happens. In for one.

Why
@DrunkCat because the last 3 times pearls were on sale it sold out all 3 times.
@communist why
@DrunkCat cheap gift
@communist
@DrunkCat
I picked some up, maybe these won’t get lost in transit like my other meh pearls.
Well guys.
This sucks, I had a good feeling for tonight. Guess not
How do they make pearls in different colors anyway?
@Pantheist see “rule 34”
@alacrity I work on the internet. Nothing surprises me.
@Pantheist Feeding the oysters only foods of that color, I think.
@Pantheist Dyes
@sparkyfarad much less exciting than I’d hoped.

So confused. On my phone it shows up as $3 for 12. So I thought you got all 6 pairs for $3. Anybody else see that???
@chienfou here’s the screenshot I finally got around to posting…
Got a set for me and a set for my mom.
They are and will get caught in long hair… trust me I know… plus look at how the “pearl” is attached to the post…It’s glued, not drilled… says a lot
Yeah, it says $12 for 3 pairs. You shouldn’t expect super high quality when the primary benefit is inexpensive. Personally, I’m in for 2 sets.
I got a set of the silver ones. My wife liked them. Good job, Meh!
