Hummm, both so yummy. Think I slightly prefer the Kojimapearl pastel, it looks so summery, yet bold. Thanks for the photos. Here's my Tahitian strand that looks similar to the one Meryl is wearing--a silver green color, I wear it quite a bit! (From DruzyDesign several years ago) Sorry, photo way too dark.

Earrings about 12x13.5mm, end pearls 11x11mm up to center 16.5x13.5 (all approx) as it is difficult to get the gauge carefully in against the pearls. Thanks for asking, I meant to include that info!

Just discovered the new website... might not even be new anymore, it's been a while.

Wonder if pearls are a legal requirement already, down under

Hey Valeria - thanks for sharing the website - now I just have more things on the wishlist!! However, I did look it over well and truly without noticing he was from down here - I did note all the Australian diamonds, though! WA is as famous for its diamonds as it is for its pearls! But that rope sure is drool worthy, isn't it?

Did anyone see Mad Money? Diane Keaton must be a pearl lover too. She wore multiple strands together.

Here is a white strand with golden South Sea ?

I don't know this one. Possibly a double strand of gray Tahitian with diamond rondelle ?

I just love Diane Keaton--and her pearls! She wears them with such panache!

I'd bet those are SS pearls (or not pearls at all... it's just a movie), but the particular combination reminds me of the thread about bright yellow Vietnamese Akoya posted here earlier... Those would be perfect for a double strand, wouldn't they!
