I appreciate all the information and comments that you share. People here are so nice. This was my first pearl order. I couldn't even figure out what I didn't like my strand about. Now I finally understand that it is the color and shade. I plan to exchange one, warmer in color, higher in...

Yes, Pearllove's strand does have smaller size. Mine is 9-10. Interesting. I have not heard that smaller pearls have more intense color. I am wondering why that is. And if so, what is a good range for intense color, 2-7 or 2-8mm?

Jerin - Thanks. I know that Freshdama would cost more, but would it look a lot nicer? When I said transparent, I meant the variation of shades and shining that you can see from Pearllove's pic. It feels that it is NOT a SOLID pink color in each pearl. You can kind of see through it. I don't...

I was hoping for something like this (picture from Pearllove's post)...

Thanks for the comments. I was expecting something of more "transparent" look from a high quality strand. However, I think it looks pretty dull. Since I am a new buyer, I am not even sure whether I expect too much from an AAA grading. If you all think this is it, I will just keep this strand...

These are supposed to be AAA from a reputable site. Why don't they look even close to Pearllove's freshdama collection? Is it the picture or the product?

It is supposed to be pink. does it look like peach? Here is one on hand.

Just got this strand. What do you think of the quality?

Casey - I am new to pearls and am interested in Freshdama. I am curious about how you like your exchange.

Jeremy - Half-size idea sounds great! Please keep me posted when they are available. Another newbee question: It seems that Freshdama is trade marked by PP. Is it similar to the "collection quality" freshwater at other sites? Which site(s) are offering the best quality fresh pearls?

Thank you all for looking for the old posts for me. It is very kind of you. From the pictures, I really cannot tell the difference between a freshdama and Akoya. I think I am leaning towards getting a freshdama. :) Jeremy - It seems that you are running out of 9-10mm freshdama set. Will...

Thanks, Airdancer. I just realized how late I am in the game. The same subject was discussed years ago. :o I will just shut up and read.

From and ONLY from the appearance, how does Freshdama differ from Akoya AAA quality? If anyone could share pictures laying the two side by side, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
