I'd order the white and then try them out against your skin tone and maybe a few items of clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearls-white-or-cream#post-1614240 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 21:08:13 +0000 JAileen 1614240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white ones went on sale since this morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearls-white-or-cream#post-1614199 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:08:17 +0000 Anonymous 1614199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pearls are cream.

I don't think it's about looking "real." If I purchase, they will be white and statement-making in size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearls-white-or-cream#post-1614034 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:05:08 +0000 viva 1614034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pearls in my necklace are a peachy cream, and my pearl bracelet pearls are ivory. Personally, I prefer the softer tone of creamy ones, and I think they look more authentic, but I can see someone wanting that crisp white for a certain style, very sharp and dramatic.&nbsp;</p> <p>What will you typically wear them with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearls-white-or-cream#post-1614032 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:59:23 +0000 lyn67 1614032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your teeth and eye whites are also bright white and you are a crisp winter (with great contrast) coloring, I say go for the white. Other wise I only have cream pearls-as this is obviously not my case at all-and I do use them mostly in the colder seasons-and yes, cream feels a bit more natural to me, even matched to crisp bright white tops. My style is not that formal or quirky, so I do like a bright white glass pendant for summer worn on a tanned skin, better.</p> <p>Then there is the gold/silver dilemma, too. The cream/off white pearls usually have gold hardware(if needed) &nbsp;and the bright whites have silver ones.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearls-white-or-cream#post-1614024 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:46:20 +0000 RoseandJoan 1614024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pearls are off white or grey, off white flatters my skin tone more than true white. Which is most prevalent in your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearls-white-or-cream#post-1614022 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:41:48 +0000 April 1614022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am finding myself so inspired by Angie's re-introducing of her pearls that I would like to add some chunky pearls back into my own wardrobe. &nbsp;<br />Here's my question to you all: some pearls are available in a true white color&nbsp;<b>and&nbsp;</b>a more "antique" cream shade. &nbsp;Here's an example:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-Jay-Lane-Bride-Statement/dp/B00PFFIP5M/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1455111299&amp;sr=1-4&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;keywords=kenneth+jay+lane+pearl"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-Jay-Lane-Bride-Statement/dp/B00PFFIP5M/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-.....038;ie=UTF</a>...</a></p> <p>Apart from the bizarre price differential, what advice can you offer on whether to choose white or cream? &nbsp;My coloring argues for white, but does the white look too synthetic, like teeth that have been bleached way beyond what looks believable?</p> <p>What has been your experience with pearl options? </p>
