I got my vietnamese akoyas from TPO today. Wow. breathtaking. The pearls shine so brightly even in regularly lamp light. Just unbelievable. The photo on the website does not do it justice. I can't wait to see how they look in daylight or sunlight! I love my basket clasp and the adjustable length. It makes the necklace so versatile. These clasps are my new favorite! I want to wear this strand every day. Or do you think I should only wear these for special occasions? Hmmm... The 7.5-8mm was the perfect size for me as i'm petite.

I also got a bracelet and earrings. I think the length on the bracelet might be a little short, I can put it on, but I think it just needs one more pearl... I'll mull over that on the weekend.

I also just saw SATC tonight and throughout the movie, I was lusting after Carrie's pearl strand... and now I have my own! And I do believe mine are shinier.
I'll try to take some photos before I leave to go out of town for a friend's wedding. I'm so excited that I'll get to show these off at the wedding. Thank you Terry!

Love it!
tiffany

Which is your favorite color? And are the pearls in each color consistent? (i..e the yellows matched among them, same for grays, etc.)

Can't wait to see your photos. Reiah.
And I'm glad you like them.
I wore the PearlParadise untreated baroque akoyas at my daughter's wedding reception and they attracted a lot of attention.

Hi Valeria,
So hard to choose a favorite, I actually really like how each color bounce off of each other. It will be a tough choice, but I think I do like the light blue/silver and the pinks the best. They just show up so well.

I'm posting pics under the "show us your pearls" section in about, say 10 minutes...
