UPS did not show up at my house until late last evening and I debated wether or not to open the box from PP containing a strand of 8.5-9mm Freshadamas and a strand of 7-8mm AAA metallic white freshwaters. I was afraid that since they were so cold (it was literally freezing outside) and it was so dark (only florescent lighting inside) that I would be disappointed with the pearls. Of course i gave in and opened the box within 5 minutes I have zero patience when it comes to waiting for pearls and I had already waited over a week to see these.
My first impression was astonishment! Even through the bubble wrap and plastic bags I could see how lustrous the pearls were. The Freshadamas took my breath away! The metallics are also gorgeous, but they are smaller and more Akoya like. I am a wSS girl all the way I just love the more satiny luster of my wSS pearls, which the Freshadamas were closer to (no substitute mind you). The funny thing is that I have been insisting that I am a saltwater pearl girl, but I haven't seen high quality freshwater pearls before...these have definitely changed my mind
Enough rambling, here are the photos
