Hi all! Happy Thanksgiving!
I am shopping for my first pearl necklace and this forum has been extremely informative! I decided to go with takahashi due to the abundant of positive posts I have read. I asked them to send me some photos of their most lustrous 7.5 - 8.5mm Akoya pearls and below are the photos I got.
7.5-8mm
8.0-8.5mm
Then side by side:
Honestly, based on the photos, the size differences between the 7.5mm and 8mm strands is barely noticeable and to me, doesn't justify the price difference. The question is which strand of the 7.5mm should I get? I know one is more white than the other, but I don't mind the rosy tone at all!
