My sweet little tahitian pendant

[icy_jade]

First, the specs... 11 mm tahitian with 18K YG bail.
It's a surprise gift and it was a very pleasant surprise I must say.





I am not sure how to describe the colour. Help anyone? Is there an official name for this colour combi?
In real life it's pale pink with green overtones. Very pretty. A bit more like the lower pearl used in the main pic here:

The photos came out a little darker. Didn't do any colour correction or enhancement.
AND... I absolutely love the mirror-like lustre. Can you see the sharp reflection of my hands/iPhone in the pearl?

Got it last week and it made my weekend.
Haven't worn it yet cos I think it'll need a delicate YG chain which I currently do not have.

Congratulations. It has very nice luster like you said. I think it's green with pink overtone. Kind of like a lighter version of true peacock color. Please do not confuse with peacock green. Sometimes people use misuse the word peacock too much, IMHO. Whatever color it is it's still a beautiful pearl. Enjoy.

PS: I don't think 11mm is little.

Thanks!

Was browsing for similar pearls to check their description and think looks a bit like Hisano's. The green is paler IRL too. Hmm need to figure out how to correct the colour in the pic.



Now I want a little briolette bead too, LOL.
