[Raisondetre]

I briefly mentioned that I got an exchange for the gem strands (sorry guys, I got the last 8.5 mm). The colors, as expected are amazing, and the luster absolutely pops on the silver pearls. There is a variation between the different shades for luster, probably because of the contrast. I've included some pictures for comparison, and this time the luster shows up alot sharper than on the previous strand, though that one was by no means inferior - it's just a different grade of pearls. Still collector items nonetheless. I'm trying to get a better camera to do these pearls justice because they literally blind you in the sun, but lighting wasn't optimum today, and the light colors don't show up quite as well as the lavender freshwaters that I used for comparison last time. But it is amazing.
