@ticklescratch I think secretion is correct, I was thinking of calcium carbonate as a waste product (excretion). It’s been a long time since college biology…
Damn. I’m in. Truth is, I must have purchased one of just about every damn pearl offering sold on this site. Thankfully, my wife loves them but seriously. Damn. Also, flexible-miniature-fruit.
$75 for the amazon link comparison is FAKE NEWS! the ones in the link say sterling. these say stainless. not that i’m gonna buy either, just sayin’ it’s not apples to apples. good night.

Grabbed the classic set! Those champagne and grey colors are calling my name. My MawMaw will get the pink ones. Would give my mom the white ones but alas, she’s allergic to anything but yellow gold.
Also, herbivorous-tenuous-rattlesnake. “Can’t do the image thing” (can we make this a saying?) but I love the order number.
meh has become so… well… meh. But, I guess that’s the point. I’m about to pull my VMP, I’ve paid so much for so little. I know meh’s already about to kill VMP, but I was holding on with some sort of hollow hope it might actually benefit me. MEH.
@obxer I’d keep it for another month or so. They said they are doing something different soon without VMP option, but current VMPs will be grandfathered into the new thing they will be doing. Not sure it will be worth it, but I don’t want to save $5 and find out I should have kept it.
If you are wondering if these are a good deal, the answer is yes. In December I bought both sets of five pairs from QVC… who had them on “sale”. They were sold the same way in sets of five. Same packaging (which was cute for Christmas as each box has a gold thin string loop letting you hang the boxes on a tree like ornaments and then hand out to the ladies at the end of a party). I’m sad because I just looked at my QVC invoice… they were $40 per set.
Sweet. I’ve wanted to buy my wife some earings, and I love pearl studs. Way to give me a reason to reinstate my VMP.

This stud is for you - pearl time
I mean, on the one hand I don’t need these…
But on the other hand I also don’t want these.
The question is: should I buy them anyway?
@Squic DOOOO EEEEETTT!!!
@yakkoTDI
Wonder if they are nickel free stainless steel?
@dagirlgenius no nickle, as it’s probably ‘hi grade’ chinese steel there’s only some lead and caesium-137 in there.
I guess it’s a good thing I don’t get invited to Leave It To Beaver parties because I’ll never wear pearl earrings.
Five? For the one-eared woman in your life?
@Kerig3 I have a total of five holes in my ears. I could wear one of each color… But I won’t.
@RiotDemon LOL, I’m guessing 5 pearl earrings on one ear isn’t your style, unless you’re at a formal cocktail dress event.
Easy to mock. Will probably sell out.
Earrings must be big sellers around here.

Honora makes nice jewelry. This is actually a pretty great deal.
Irritants surrounded by excretions. The perfect gift for your beloved.
@HemlockTea Never thought of it that way, but you’re right!
@HemlockTea i hope you meant secretion, or these are gonna have a funny smell to them.
@ticklescratch I think secretion is correct, I was thinking of calcium carbonate as a waste product (excretion). It’s been a long time since college biology…
do you really think the nerds on this site have lady-friends to have need of such jewelry?
@elpepe Perhaps they can be a gift for Prince Albert.
@yakkoTDI if hes still in the can dont let him out, he’s probably dead by now. Pearls of wisdom
my roommate loves pearls. Now to decide classic or fashion???
@deemkooo I had the same dilemma (went with Classic)
Would give up any of the three left-most pairs (as per the boxed photo) for a Teal pair from Fashion
@onae I couldn’t decide…was leaning toward classic, but just got both. She’ll be happy.
I’d love to see some jewelry around these parts that wasn’t made of pearls…
@brhfl seriously.
One of each would be a cool birthday present, eh?
Barbara Bush would never wear these misshapen things.
Damn. I’m in. Truth is, I must have purchased one of just about every damn pearl offering sold on this site. Thankfully, my wife loves them but seriously. Damn. Also, flexible-miniature-fruit.

Yep, sterling posts on the Amazon comparison.
Dyed cultured freshwater pearls and stainless steel? Meh’s price is excessive. “Amazon’s” is a hoax.

@brhfl thanks
@RiotDemon there you go
Stop oyster rape! Pass.
This is more helpful than that Amazon comparison link. Reviews (lots) and a video.

@jbrookebarrow yes, it is. Thank you.
@deemkooo Give me a meh job, Meh!
Jk. I already have one that’s double meh
Not even for free, Meh!

Doing get the point of earrings you can’t see. MEH.

@Cooky Do Not Feel Bad, you needed them then. Not now.
I liked my last set of Honora earrings, I liked the necklace I got before Christmas, let’s do this.
/buy --color Classic
@Kawa Sorry, this deal contains 2 unique items and I’m not sure which one you want. Try ordering from the checkout page.
/buy --set “Classic”
@Kawa It worked! Your order number is: abiding-wide-saturn

I have figured out one truth about this site, and its clique, if the thing is not sold out by the time I see it, it is junk. ( That’s A Good Thing )
Are the studs steel or sterling silver? Amazon advertises them as sterling silver
