Voila! The only thing is I had two “beauty marks” removed, hence the small bruises on my neck.... ☺️

A little difficult to get a photo... but the lusture on my new Akoyas is so good that you can see the reflection of my phone in them!!. The diamonds are so sparkly too - I really love how the post is in the middle of the diamonds rather than on the pearl, so they sit much lower on the ear.

Been considering a strand of SS pearls for a while. I looked at the vendors recommended by other members here but wasn't too impressed with clasp options available. I know a lot of members get them changed out. I've been looking at Paspaley. I especially love the clasps and how the pearls looks like their sitting end to end with no visible knots.
I don't have the budget for baroque from Paspaley. That's what I absolutely love. I feel the baroque style is more wearable say with a t-shirt. I'm considering their rhapsody or circle strand.
I haven't seen many Paspaley posts returned via search. Below 13-15mm on left and 10-13mm on right. I'm usually quite decisive but I am really, really struggling with choosing.

Uff what a tough decision for you. Both necklaces are lovely. I have two White South Sea Baroque necklaces with the “harpoon clasp” you like. This closure is genius imho. I bought my first SS 18 years ago, and bought the second one recently with the purpose to elongate the necklace, or double up. It’s late where I am at the moment, however, I will post a picture of my two beloved White SS necklaces tomorrow taking advantage of the sunlight.
I was advised by my pearl broker that because the nacre is much thicker in SS pearls, they will last longer, and age better compared to Freshwater pearls. This is the reason for my liking of white SS pearls.
Good morning ☀!!
As promised here are the pictures of my white South Sea Baroque necklaces, and the harpoon clasps too. The longer necklace is my last addition. I love them

I come always back to pearls, don't know why.....
Made this bracelet today with pearls that are not perfect at all (South sea, Tahitians, and freshwater ones).
I like the way they are imperfect.
Wow!!! The colors and luster are beautiful. Well done my dear!
