You are right.... Akoyas are all about that shiny luster.... thank you for your input dear Pearlover2305hmm~ good question,, both are amazing pearls thoughpersonally, 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
Just exquisite! Looks beautiful on you.Hey Pearlies, I’ve been away for awhile but love all the posts! I received my first white ssp strand on Friday and my new clasp on Saturday. The strand was on a wire so I just restrung it. I might shorten it a bit but for now it’s good. 12-14.6mm.View attachment 5232107

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