Here are the last two. The left-overs - very obviously off round or with much bigger flaws - will take some time. I'm scratching my head a bit for ideas and trying to get stock uploaded before some new parcels arrive.
The central white one of the top strand is at least 14.5mm.

It is a perfect necklace for me, but a bit beyond my reach.

My black freshwater 12+mm has surfaces like the last picture. I love it and I guess I need to keep on wearing it!!

I just got in another batch of the untreated. even more phwarrrrrrrr. this is the first to be photographed. I have sorted and assembled them myself over the last few days from the strands as they came in.

I think I might keep this one for myself.

I don't blame you for keeping it! I would be amazed if you didn't, actually. Splendid colors and luster!

10-13mm..pinks purples and metallic gold - some gold looks like the pearls have been gold plated. Here are some more
the enhancer is on gold and measures 11.38mm by 12.37 ( I just got one of those electronic calipers..how did I live without it, I have been wandering round measuring everything since it arrived!

They look charming. I also have had my digital caliper for a long time, it is soo much easier to measure pearls...

Lovely pearls Wendy. I had a look at your website too, you've got some fantastic stuff! I really liked the blue Sea of Cortez enhancer.

Oh thank you!. I think I am in love with these untreateds, the colours are so subtle, they shift all the time as the light changes, there is just so much there to look at.More to come soon - I am all uploaded out for the day

Very nice pearls, Wendy! And website too! Although I tend to think pearls would photograph better in daylight rather than direct sunlight......just a thought. I feel that the colors come out closer to actual...

The photo of the strand that you are planning to keep for yourself is perfect though, and the necklace is gorgeous as well!
