p.s. brilliant photographs -- you captured the iridescence beautifully! wear them in good health & happiness!

Do they always have a rose overtone or can you get one with just blue (and silver)? And will it show up as beautifully blue as yours?

I am kicking myself for only buying 1 strand of the white baroque akoyas. I figured I already owned enough akoyas -- silly me.
Would you please take a picture of 1 of the white strands twisted into a torsade with the blue baroque double strand from last year? I am still trying to decide how to have my white strand strung, and I am wondering how it would look combined with my blue double strand that is the twin of yours.

Thank you, Kay . I think this turquoise sweater is the one that brings out the nicest blue in the akoya. It looks nice with navy as well. Since our 8.5-9mm strands are sibs, what's your experience been?
I took the pictures and I think the double twisted with the single 9.5-10mm white strand look great! I hadn't tried this before and I've been wearing it for a few hours now and really like the look. What do you think?
Here it is with the turquoise sweater.

Thank you, missy (I'm really enjoying your threads, btw)!
I don't know enough about the blue akoya to give you very solid information about them. Here's the little I know for sure. Silver strands are much more common than blue. Whether blues can be found without pink overtones, I think they probably can. I suspect the darker blues tend to have pink overtones, rather than silver, but I'm not sure. I think your best bet would be to get on the PP live chat. These blues are still unchartered territory for me
Thanks baby nurse! And please feel free to join us if you are ever in the mood. We would love to chat with you.
And I love your new gorgeous pictures. Beautiful pearls.
