I saw this strand for the first time in July. Seller sent me pictures of it just after I bought some other Tahitians. I drooled over it since then. Finally week ago I decided that I waited long enough.. It was pricey, but I compare it somehow to Jeremy's "loot pearls"..
They came, I knotted them adding 14k gold spacers and.... I love them !!
Do you ?????

They came with description: as 10-11mm almost clean.

They are 10.15 - 11.1 and most of the pearls is completely clean.
Luster is super - look at 4th picture... ( sorry for the dust on some ot the pearls - super macro mode is showing stuff I did not see with the naked eye )

Those are pretty. Congratulations on a nice Tahitian necklace. The colors are great! Make sure you clean them often. Gold rondelles tend to attract dirt and that can cause wear on the pearls. Get a good, safe cleaner like what they carry at The Pearl Doctor.

Ivona,
Well done! The shapes are lovely. They are lustrous and the color is so beautiful. Jaw dropping.

Spacers in general attract dirt? (Or rondelles more so?)

Gorgeous pearls!!!!
