The link opens to my local groupon page, so I can't see what you are looking at. However, I'll give you my opinion: In general, I do NOT like colored pearls. There are some black pearls that I've seen that I do like, but pink or blue are out for me. They generally look cheap IMO.

Unless you can choose white or get certified Tahitian black pearls don't do it - the coloured ones usually look cheap.

I've seen some mahogany brown pearls I really liked. Aside from that, no.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine

Hiya SC_NICK,

Firstly - good on you for wanting to buy something nice for your wife.

Secondly, only buy her coloured pearls if she already has some in her jewellery collection and wears them often. Basically, only buy them if she's specifically told you she's like them. If she doesn't already own coloured pearls, don't buy them.

The only colour pearls I'd wear are black. Even white pearls these days look a little dated.

she is kinda spoiled...but i got a new tri bike this year so its all good.

thanks for the feedback. i raided her jewelry box and didnt find any pearls so i think im just gonna go with the classic white look this time.

I have a pair of real black pearl earrings and matching necklace from the Cook Islands. I love them, they look great, I get lots of compliments on them, oh and they weren't cheap. But you can tell the difference with non-white pearls, particularly after a bit of time.
