hmm~ good question,, both are amazing pearls though :smile: personally, i prefer Akoya because its luster that compliment my style (simple, casual) and the size are okay as well for me, but my mom prefer south sea because its golden color & size she like more "fancy" style
You are right.... Akoyas are all about that shiny luster.... thank you for your input dear Pearlover2305

Thank you so much for your comment. I am flattered. The blue/gray are Tahitian; the white ones are South Sea Baroque, and the pastel multicolored ones are Chinese Freshwater. The three necklaces have a built-in closure respectively. The built-in closure is drilled inside two pearls of each necklace. The marvel of this closure system is that it offers three options: (1). a necklace to close individually, (2). two necklaces be connected for a longer necklace, or (3). all three necklaces be connected together for a longer necklace.
neat! Have you posted a photo of the different ways you wear them? I would love to see! I was immediately drawn to the pastels with the long white attached down the center..thinking “ooh how unusual and that it’s different colors makes it even more interesting“ ..and then I read your Text about the enclosures and the light bulb went on. Nonetheless, I think it would be an interesting combination. I hope you will show us!

This is the harpoon closure that you’ve described. You should be flattered as you’ve chosen your pearls well :biggrin: Seeing your pearls makes me want to wear mine next week for a change.
thanks for that! Learn something new everyday!

Hello essiedub, Thank you for your appreciative comment. Here are the pictures of some of the possibilities of my necklaces together. The harpoon closure adds much versatility.

Thanks so much for the photos of your beautiful pearls! I think your photos are also well-taken as you are very consistent despite the different lengths of the necklaces and the time taken between each shot to adjust the necklace lengths!
