I think Raisondetre put up a picture of her gem quality strand....let me try to find the thread. Opps, Heidi already did. Go for quality than size you will never regret it. The other way round you will always wonder about the nicer strand.

I wear my freshadama strand every work day and I find that the luster of my strand, bought a strand 6 mths ago in Dec 07 is completely gone. (Yes I clean it properly after wear). The strand now looks blurry and uninteresting. (I think we had a thread earlier briefly discussing this but I can't find it.) Would akoya be better at retaining luster - does anyone know? If so, you might want to buy akoya instead.
