I'm feeling much better. Thank you!
Jerin--I have noticed that the Freshadamas have more luster. This thrills me to no end, because I prefer the solid nacre.
The Akoyas are also more blemished.
Wendy--the Keshis are not knotted. I'm really getting into these! The bracelet was an inexpensive experimental purchase. I'm pleased with the orient--can't really see it in the photos, and I love the delicate shape, but I'd love to get some larger bolder Keshis! Have you posted some on this forum? I'd love to see!
Thanks ladies!
