    Default Took My Breath Away...- part two

    These are also Kamoka pearls. And they took my breath away too.

    I was already for quite a while after Kamoka pearls - Josh knows. But the problem of shipping, plus all the robbery with extra taxes while buying something from outside the EU - all this looked like a real headache. And then Susan came along with her photos of just arrived Kamoka pearls, and it was all very easy, - to buy a similar strand by her from England, just around the corner from the Netherlands. And now I have it!

    I am really thrilled. The colours on the photos are exactly how they are - no photoshop, just choosing a good light. The pearls are 9,3-11,1 mm. Susan kindly suggested to string it for me.

    Thank you, Susan, for arranging all this, and for giving such a good chance for Kamoka pearls to settle in Europe!

    Thank you, Josh, for producing these beauties - I know I am not the first and not the last one to say, but yours are the most beautiful Tahitian pearls I ever saw.

    One more thing: when Josh puts his colourful photos on the forum, it is not exaggeration, and not a good camera effect, - this is exactly how they look. I just saw it today with my own eyes.

    Olga,
    It's a spectacular strand. I see a few peacock. The rest are aquamarine, cherry and light grey (or is it blue ?) on my PC. Are those the correct colors ?

    Olga, they are just perfect. Josh produces amazing pearls, doesn't he? And don't you love our pg circle of friends here - how nice that Susan did your stringing for you.
    Enjoy wearing them, Olga - the usual request - a neck shot, please? Congrats on the purchase.
    And Josh, congrats once again - your pearls are awesome!
    Merry Christmas all...

    Olga:
    Will you think I'm horrible if I say, "I'm so envious"?
    I'm also very happy for you and Merry Christmas.

    OK, do you all think we should just make it a rule - no pearl photos unless a neck shot is included?? Surely that is the consensus...
