So I'm an idiot. I have several strands of pearls- the most recent acquisitions being a Hanadama strand, a baroque blue akoya strand and just because I couldn't resist, a baroque white akoya strand.
I just opened up one of the boxes, stared at it admiringly for a moment and then freaked out. I was convinced that I was looking at my Hanadama strand- and to my horror, I could see DENTS in my pearls!! In my Hanadamas! You know- the ones that are certified to be among the 'most perfect pearls in the world!!'
Of course, I wasn't looking at my Hanadama strand at all. It was the baroque white strand. These babies have amazing lustre and orient... and they are WHITE! If I hadn't bought a Hanadama strand (and if I wasn't set on having a 'perfectly matched' strand, these would've easily taken their place. Fact is, I wanted Hanadamas for their perfection. But gosh these had me fooled! Their lustre and orient are actually *disorienting* and made me think they were round!! My Hanadamas are quite rosy by comparison when lying in the box. Of course, they look white against the skin
Anyone else have *moments* like these? Or is it just me being 'special'?
