I want to buy a pearl necklace as a present. Money isn't too much of an issue, but here is the thing: I can't honestly afford what I'd really like.
I could afford a single string of nice pearls, but not larger than 6mm individual stones - that's about 150.
What I think she'd prefer, as she's quite ostentatious and showy, is a necklace of large stones. She likes things chunky.
So where do you get really good fake pearls? As in not ****ty cheap ones -
I would prefer the necklace to look more fab and be fake than be real and look a bit small and weak (since thats the desired look).
Big stones, like 1cm+ diameter.
