Glitter, you take the BEST photos!! I cannot come close to getting good shots of my metallics!

But I do love them and wear them almost every day right now as they go with everything... Wear yours in good health!

The peachy pinks look yellower in my photos than in real life, but the photos do give a good sense of the luster and the subtle colored overtones.

I wish Rhapsody would come back and show a comparison shot with her multicolored freshadamas. Pretty please, Rhapsody?

Glitterata, your strand is gorgeous! They look beautiful on you.

I just got back home from being out of town. My hotel charged frickin 20 bucks a day for internet access, so I figured pictures will have to wait

I got a bracelet too, so now I can actualy wear the necklace as it should be instead of wrapping it around my wrist so I can see them.

The sun is too bright right now, but I''ll try and get some comparison shots with the multicolour freshadamas later tonight. All the ones I tried to get before are too blurry to tell anything.

Thank you, Rhapsody. I''m sorry for nagging! I''ll sit still and be patient now.

Glitter, it''s your "fault" that I''ve ordered a goldeny strand of metallics from PP. Jeremy is just awesome to work with.

Isn''t he great?

I just ordered a bracelet so I can actually wear my necklace on my neck instead of taking it off and staring at it. I have my necklace wrapped loosely around my wrist right now and am staring at the pearly green and gold and fuchsia overtones.

I found that the photos tend to show the peach/pink pearls as yellower/more golden than they are in real life. I hope you find yours sufficiently golden.

Yes, he''s a lovely man, very generous and so quick to reply to emails.

I hope my strand will be more goldeny than pastel but either way it''s fine. They are beautiful pearl and I can''t wait to get mine.

Man its a nightmare to take good pictures of pearls.

I can see the difference between the freshadamas and exotics clearly, but its hard to photograph. I got a few decent comparison shots.

The exotics are on the right, you can see they have higher luster and more unique colours than the feshadama strand.

Exotics are on the top again. The freshadamas in the shot are some of my favourite on the strand.

Last one, the exotics are on the bottom here. I''m still trying to get a shot of the whole strands, but it has proved elusive. I hope these are helpful, I just cant seem to capture what the eye sees.

The exotics are 7-7.5mm and the freshadamas are 7.5-8mm.

Rhapsody, thank you for posting those. I recognized the metallics right away.

I think my metallics have spoiled me for any other freshwater pearls.

My matching bracelet arrived. Now I can actually wear the necklace instead of draping it over my wrist! The bracelet has great, weird colors, well placed so I see them when I wear it. I''m so thrilled with this line!

I am still resisting the natural blue akoya strands.. successful resistance for the 3rd consecutive day that I went into the site. I am obsessed with PP currently.
