Pictures of Akoya with White SS side by side

[MelodySaw]

I have always loved pearls. But I only had one very small strand of fresh water that my mom gave to me when I came to the state.

Only until Last year, I decided to get some real things after seeing a friend of mine wearing a huge 14 mm ss necklace, so I finally purchased some other type pearls.

One pair of Akoya earring at 8.5 mm with 10-12 mm white south sea strand

The Akoya pearls have some some rose /pink undertone. I am not sure why my WSSP have the similar refraction as the Akoya ones.

Only after I got South Sea pearls, I understand the difference between those two types.

NacreLover, what a magnificent collection you have, especially the wild natural pearls and the gem grade south sea pearl strand.

Is it safe to say that if you have top grade freshwater pearls, they could be compatible with higher grade akoya pearls?

My freshwater strand costs only about 10% of the south water strand. before I compared them side by side, I was quite happy with the luster from the FWP.

Thanks for posting the picture.

MelodySaw - I'll bet NacreLover wishes she owned all of those strands of pearls, however, I'm pretty sure that at the time this photo was taken, all of these strands were owned by Pearl Paradise.

However, she does own some wonderful South Sea pearls. Take a look at the Pearl Paradise blog where there is a photo of NacreLover holding an umbrella standing next to her husband, and she is wearing her beautiful South Sea strand.

Thank you, MelodySaw, for your sweet comments about my ring. Yes, wearing that piece makes me feel like a princess.

Good pictures. I am looking at WSS & Akoya pearl studs. They both are beautiful. Love the WSS strand that you have.
