A VERY Special Gift

A very, very dear friend of mine knows how much I love pearls and said they wanted to gift me my “dream strand”. We discussed giving the $ to charity but they stated they wanted me to have something special from them. Now I know I have several “dream strands” already and it seems that the term changes over time. And I know there are a lot of gorgeous pearls out there and that PP, POJ and others have pearls in their vaults I would die for. But after seeing all of the amazing pictures of Kamoka pearls on this board over time and visiting their website I fell in love with the strand below.

It is actually a long strand of round Kamoka pearls with a detachable bracelet. It is a strand I’ve been visiting online often because of the amazing pearls. There are colors I have only dreamed of! The pictures on their website were lighter than this picture (which Josh took for me to compare strands) but it's just because of the exposure (the picture is 100% untouched). And I truly support their farming philosophy. I changed the clasps to gold ring/Senora clasps. So I will soon be the happy (and humble) owner of these pearls. I have been blessed with some wonderful people in my life and will wear these with joy. I will post neck shots when they arrive!

Congratulations on your getting a beautiful strand of Kamoka pearls. Kamokas are my favorite Tahitian pearls as well. I also own a strand with the detachable bracelet and I find that I do wear it both ways. Yes, there might be better pearls out there, but I find that Kamokas really sing to me. You will love seeing them in person. The orient of each pearl is amazing.

Looking forward to more pictures when you receive the strand. Congratulations on getting your dream strand of pearls.

Just for comparison, here is the picture of the strand from the Kamoka web boutique. I have a collection of photos of some of my favorite Kamoka pieces. I love the colors of the pearls in your new picture.

Stunning pearls. Love the colors, the overtones, the fact that you can wear it short or longer the with bracelet.

More photos of those luscious colors and overtones would be wonderful.

I hope you love that necklace almost as much as the giver. What a wonderful piece. :appl:

Thanks you all for your kind words. My friend and I had a very special dinner this last weekend to celebrate a milestone and while I love the strand the long-time love we share is priceless.

Sooooo pretty! I'm beginning to think I need a convertible strand. These threads are dangerous!

Enjoy your pearls! They look lovely on you. :appl:
