Hi,
I promised to post pictures when my baroque Tahitian strand arrives from this thread here:
Drop or circled baroque tahitian pearl strand?
I chose this strand with silver body and green/peacock overtone:

I tried to capture the rose overtone in the pictures but it barely came out. I am very happy with my purchase. By the way, I went to the Gem show today. I could not go to the wholesale section. The retail section's pricing was not as attractive as our online vendors here. I saw a multi-color Tahitian drop baroque strand, very nice, probably AAA. The retail price was $3400, he said he'd give me the whole sale price for $1360 and pay for the clasp in addition to that. The size is 8.13 mm to 10.3mm. PP has a AAA strand here about the same size for $500:

Here are my pictures:
