Thank you for sharing those photos. I am not into akoyas, but after seeing these photos...oh WOW!!! Blaire, I doubt if you are going to burn in h***, but if you are, you're getting there with class.
Ditto the same question Heidi asked, please tell us about the nacre thickness. Did you mention that to be Hanadama they have to be at least .4mm? Does the cert. give the exact mm, such as .5mm or just state that it's at least .4mm?
My screen shows the akoya's luster to be much sharper than the freshadama. What a treat to see these!
I wish there were photos of Kinsyoku and Madama. But sharing these photos has been greatly appreciated.
Wear them in good health.
