Pearl Paradise keshi strands

[aerinha]

haven't posted in a LONG time, but I was curious if anyone got a PP tahitian keshi strand and what the color was? Is there a color choice if you contact them or all they all about the same? Thanks.

I looked long and hard at those strands, LOVE keishi!! Just not in my budget right now-----------keishi have so many overtones, I wouldn't hesitate to call if I was seriously interested.

I was thinking about them too... but I decided I wanted baroques more and 2 necklaces just aren't in the budget!!

Welcome back! You know, I've been waiting this whole time for you to post pics of your exotics. I love those keishis. I'm going to order a strand. Kojima has Josh steel blues for a bit more that are wonderful, too.

I took a chance and ordered the keshi strand from PP. I don't like silver and gray pearls much. I saw some loose keshi in a pearl shop in Hanalei, Kauai and did not think they look attractive. They were too dark for my taste and weren't as lustrous as I would like. My strand arrived and it is silvery gray . But I really like it. It is really lustrous and has light blue orient, maybe some light pink. A few looks slightly bronze or copper. Some pearls look like nuggets and the center pearls are wide and flat. They all have their own character. I like the ones that are scrunched up the best, where they dip and are wrinkly in the center (color is dark there). They are dainty but I like them much better than the Biwa FW pearls. You know by now that I have soft spots for Tahitians. This is the 16" strand. Here are some pictures:

One more picture. I hope this answers aerinha's questions or those who are thinking about purchasing.

Very nice, Cathy.
They look better on you than on the PP website!
