Thanks.

Canon PowerShot S5, Pearls places on windowsill of the window going west at 6PM, supermacro, manual mode, light set on tungsten (colors were more natural than keeping it on cloudy or sunny) - hope it helps....

If I knew drool helped luster, I would have been spitting on my pearls long ago!

Oh! The orient is beautiful!

Amazing pearls and pictures!

Wow! Nice to see Orient in Akoyas...and baroque shapes are usually more prone to display orient. Nice to see that more and more people are choosing true beauty over the "plastic" look. Great Photos!

Digging up an old thread. I also purchased these a while ago from the TPO special. The metallic luster is strong and it's a beautiful strand of pearls, but the colour doesn't really suit me so I have only worn these once, maybe they'll look nicer with summer clothing.

Those pearls really hold their own against the abalone shell! I wonder how they would look with gray, pink baby blue or butter color cashmere sweater??

That second photo would make a good computer background!!!
