Here is the first of the necklaces, made mostly from the pinks and purples in the left hand strand. I have some from the other strands which I may swap in, though I think I quite like the mix of colours in this.
The colours in all the strands are remarkable, and the pearls change under different lights. Lustre is satiny to metallic in places wiht surfaces remarkably smooth, just some faint rings and blobs
size ranges from 12mm to 14.5.
No idea if they are tissue or bead nucleated and I don't think the supplier I got them from would probably know either. They are very heavy and when I drilled the three smalls to double the thread through they felt no different to any other freshwater, with no change in drill feel part way through
finished length is just under 50cm
