Hi members!

Finally yesterday my strand arrived - at last! As You know I got the strand that Jeremy did match and now I am giving You a little report, pictures come later on.

This strand is really silvercoloured and on a white cloth one can see clearly aqua-green overtones. Some of the pearls do look quite green but most look as if one has coated them with thick silver (the oysters did, of course).

The luster is incredible, once around the neck they really stand out with their luster.
The orient is different on every pearl, the center pearl has rose and green overtones and some of the pearls have a little blue orient, but my screensaver shows the strand much more blue than it is in reality.

The shape is really baroque, some of the smallest pearls have a lovely round shape, the larger ones have patches of extra thick nacre in the form of small bubbles, very charming.

I regret though that I gave up # 135, it was more round and would have been the perfect match to # 100, which in its own way is magnificent - just more baroque.

BTW - no one has so far told us, who the lucky buyer of # 135 is.

I am very satisfied with my strand even though I would have loved more blue in it, as Gemgeeks first strand pic shows for example.
But I can say so much - it really is silver/AQUA and not silver/blue, so it is extra special to me.
