As I have read few days ago, that the 9.5-10 mm silver blue baroque akoya strand is once more available, I immediately contacted PearlsParadise. Hisano was very nice, and answered my question very quickly! I was hesitating between the 8.5-9 mm strand, which seems to be more blue and round, and the 9.5-10 mm strand, which seemed more silver. I asked Hisano to send me a comparison pictures.
Here is the picture:
At first I thought....this makes my decision even harder. Both strands are beautiful in their own way. After debating for a few minutes, I decided to go for size this time, and maybe next time go for more blue color.
As the strand is 18 inch, I asked Hisano to take 2 pearls from the strand, and make earrings for me, and take and additonal pearl, which seems to have a big flaw in the nacre. This pearl is marked in the picture. I knew, I could only choose dangling earrings, but that was no problem, because I was eying the blossom setting for a long time.
I hope, I get a glamour shot, before Hisano sends me my strand. I am already really curious, and happy, because I am sure, I won't regret my decision!
