I too am waiting to see the larger strands. There were supposed to be 5 medium strands, and 20 small strands. Only 10 of the smaller ones (A to J) have been offered so far. I've resisted buying the smaller ones because I'm waiting to see the medium ones.
Maybe Jeremy could weigh in when the rest...
With two strands you can wear either one singly, wear as a double strand like BAS, or link the clasps into a long 36" the way Purranha did. That all looked awesome.
Anyone pick up the newest batch of metallic Edisons released this morning? I snagged two burgandy strands, fxbh-05 and 10, largely due to the beautiful photos posted here, and am impatiently excited to see them!
Here are photos of the queens three strand necklaces:

I too laughed when I read your moms reply because I've had that webpage bookmarked for months trying to decide between a three strand or an opera length...
I'm awaiting a lavender gem grade 9.5-10mm opera length strand. I too was wondering why Freshadama strands are twice the price of gem/elite/aaaa from other vendors. Are they that much more lustrous or rounder to warrant the price? I'm also currently in the market for a white freshwater opera...
I'm looking for white round metallic freswater pearl necklaces, preferably gem quality, but can't seem to find a vendor. Does anyone still sell them? I've seen photos posted by forum members but these were from a few years ago. Thanks!
