If it is not problem with the focus, it is the colours. I think u, icy jade has one of the best photography skills here.
If you bring your pearls over to my place I can photograph them for you...
Don't worry re: multiple shots. I do multiple shots too cos iPhone doesn't have macro or optical image balance/steadyshot to assist in photography. As for colours, I think a lightbox really helps!

oh these are beautiful!!!
Thank you <3 Now I just have to sit down and knot them all..just waiting for some Beader's Secret to arrive in a wide range of colours.
I'm flying to Sydney on Monday to meet a wholesaler who's flying in from HK and view more of the harvest strands now that my lovely Greys and silvers/white is gone. Hope to get another grey combo and a green combo and a SS white and gold combo. But we'll see what's there ! Hate to spend on the airfare but it's good to see them in person.

I want to join!
I was browsing your lovelies and decided to have little photo shoot of my own.
The first are from my broke student days when I spent way too much time checking out TPO's daily deals.
Here's my Tiffany cushion bracelet with freshwater pearls. An ex broke up with me the week before his birthday so I returned his present and bought this for myself.
And last but not least, the pearls I get the most wear out of. My baroque Tahitian necklace from PP (9.00-10.00 mm, silver overtones), 8.00 mm Tahitian studs that were a gift from my mother, 10.00 mm freshwater studs from PP, and 7.5-8.00 mm blue baroque akoya strand from PP.
I'll be asking all of you for help shortly as I'm looking for some larger Tahitian studs. I'm also helping my Dad source some for my Mom to match the PP tin-cup he bought her last year. I just emailed them about Tahitian AAA with copper overtone so crossing my fingers!

Hannah,
That's just beautiful!

I'll have to come back with the remainder, but I like none of those as much as this pearl, which I photographed for tests purpose.
If I remember right, it's about 10 mm, the color keeps changing with a slivery blue base, pink reflects. I think it was some kind of peacock, but they added some qualificatives which I can't remember. What's sure is that it's completely natural with no enhancement of any kind. I remembered my surprise at seeing that it was considered semi-round, as I can't see where it's not a perfect sphere. It's so shiny that you can the photographer on the right behind the purple-cover tablet, on the left, the trees from the park below also get reflected. And I cannot seem to make any picture of it without having it mirrored its surroundings.
A bit like Hannah's especially on pic 2.
And the last reason why I absolutely love it is that I bought directly from the farm, after kayaking and swimming above the oysters. I could not see anything, despite my best efforts. But it always remind me of those dream vacation.
