Hey all. I've been a pearl fiend for some time and have been building a collection for over 20 years. Pretty much all I have are akoyas and I just got my first strand of freshwaters not too long ago. I was floored by the difference in weight! They are SO much heavier? Is this because they're more solid nacre?
I'm used to wearing a 32 inch strand of 7mm, a 36 inch strand of 6.5-7mm as well as shorter strands. This is an 18 inch strand of 7.5-8mm freshadamas and they easily outweigh the 36 in strand-not in a bad way. I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had a similar experience.
