Pareltje -- they are very pretty! I recently purchased metallic white edison freshwater pearls from the same vendor, still has no time (and no skills) to string them yet. Cant wait to see what you'd come up with for these lovely pearls

Ahhhh I missed the vote on the earring but I would have chosen the #1 too. Please share pictures when your order arrive so we can drool all over them over the screen together :D

Thanks to GemGeek and Lagoon Island Pearls for such a great explanation, LOVE the lake comparison :) My understanding, please feel free to correct me if i am wrong; Metallic refers to color. Freshadama refers to Grading system, in this case by PP of its freshwater pearls that quality...

TrulyViolet -- would love to see the picture of your masterpiece please! My first attempt failed badly. I did not expect stringing pearls would be easy but it was like mission impossible to me. Since then, i had not tried again but would like to get back to it sometimes soon.

Thank you, Hanadama! (love your log-in name, totally appropriate in here :D As little spare time as I have, I love hanging out here with friends who appreciate the same thing.
