Well, it's about time I posted photos for everyone. I guess it's better late than never. I went and visited PP back in march. Had a lot of fun looking at Tahitians with Mia and ended up getting the March special (FW chocolate). I've finally taken some photos. I don't have much digital photography skills, so bear with my pictures.

The first two pictures are the March special - FW chocolate strand. Very nice and large!

The second two pictures are the treated FW green strand. I really like the color also.

Let me know how I can improve my photo taking... I'll go to bed now. it's late. I'll post some more tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with your photographing skills in my opinion. Very nice pearls. Where from did you get the green coloured freshwater strand?

Hi Jerin,
I got the green FW from PP also. Same purchase. Looking at the photos now, i really don't think the photos do the pearls justice. I'm going to try to take them on the windowsill today.

:-)

Photo re-take. I think this shows the beauty of the pearls a little better. Oh, and some additional info, the greens are 8-9mm and the chocolates are 8.5-9.5mm. I also got matching earrings for each strand too.

Truely amazing gravity defying pearls! There looks to be more than .5mm size difference?

The color on your necklaces is beautiful and very even. My dyed brown freshwaters are big and fun, but it's almost a multi-colored brown!

Hi Reiah,

Very nice choices! Love both colors. Glad to hear you got matching earrings at the same time. It is so difficult to find matching later, even in natural colors. I look forward to your next purchases!

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

Hi Reiah,

Lovely strands! Were the "greens" called that or were they called "black" (color treated)? Either way, the colors are beautiful - congratulations!

The greens are called "black" with green overtones. Thank you! I do love my earrings, but i got the french wire and am regretting a little bit that I didn't get the leverbacks. :-( Oh well, I guess I can always change them out later if they really bother me.
Tiff

Lovely pearls ... the browns are especially luscious ... Have you seen the aubergine and peacocks by any chance? I was hoping for some real life pictures to see which ones I should be getting.

I did see a bunch, but didn't ask Mia what the overtones are. Sorry. anyone else have photos?

Very nice. You are really going to enjoy the variety.
Congrats....

While you are at PP, was hard not run your hands over every pearl in the place? In some of the pictures I have seen, it looks like there are pearls EVERYWHERE!! I would just go crazy wanting to touch them all.
