    Thanks everyone, for the nice words

    Lisa, the Tahitians are from Jeremy

    and finally, here are some picis of the pearls in action – with a little help from their friends !

    This was a bit of fun, as we have the Queen’s Jubilee here now, and yesterday and today are public holidays with lots of grand goings on

    Thanks all

    David, yes, the wisteria was all set for an amazing display this year with huge buds just starting to come out - then the temperature just plumetted and stayed down for 6 weeks... poor old wisteria, it held on and held on and held on........ and then started to drop it's petals before it had really had a chance to come out - so I tried to salvage some of what was left

    never mind - there is always next year

    Your pearl always with flower. If you are not an artist, that would be so sad.

    Thanks for posting those photos, lovely pearls! And it's interesting to see the strands so close so as to compare them. Thanks again!

    The luster looks the same on photo, but in person, do you see a difference?

    Yes, the hanadamas have a lustre all of their own, if worn individually

    But if all three are photographed together in light that has colour nearby, they absorb that colour and it makes them look similar

    Alex,
    You have bought some exquisite pearls. I've been admiring them all. I am glad Pearl Dreams asked that question because I couldn't tell the difference in the photo either. Thanks for your answer.
