| I donŽt guess at anything because IŽll just be wrong but is it AAA akoya and gem quality freshwaters? I remember that picture with hanadama and freshadamas but I think that the reason the luster was higher on the freshadamas were that they were unusually good even for gem quality and that the hanadamas might have been less good than most hanadama grade strands, since there will be quality differences even in the same grade. It doesnŽt matter to me that akoyas usually are shinier and more round, IŽd go for freshwaters anytime because they are more like the real thing, nacre all through and not bleached unless white. |
