That's a fair point Kat! -- I have not ever been able to see all of these in person (hopefully this year if I make it out to Las Vegas!) but it is an interesting insight at least. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!

Everyone here has such great styling!

I added a poll, in case folks want to vote on which the AAA strand is - I think this is interesting because I've seen many accounts of folks in person saying that AAA Miki strands truly are unbelievable but here in this photo at least they do look all very similar to one another. Of course this...

Cool! Thanks for the reply -- and, actually, I think the fact that it is so difficult is testament to any pearls that aren't junk look pretty great. I'll be sure to post all the good details when as many people as want to vote. :D Just for grins, though -- the two that are the biggest...

Great pearls as usual! What are you going to do after you hit your 365th day? 730 days of pearls? :D

Hi Pearl Guide friends. :) I hope this special image that I have here will be of use to some folks here -- Here, in this photo originally from Mikimoto, I have 4 strands of 7.5mm-8mm Akoya pearls from Mikimoto, side-by-side in the four offered grades: A, A+, AA, AAA. Since I was genuinely...

That tassel is very cool!

What a nice exchange! Great strand there.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! -- Did anyone here at P-G end up with one of the gold ombre strands? :)

Great job!

Interesting comparison! I'm maybe in the minority that I think the heavily pinked pearls are very nice, actually. In any case, with all those choices, you can't go wrong!

As highly requested -- neck shots of the Tahitian strand! I said I would comment a little more in this thread than on the PP thread. P-G's uploader tints a little pink, but otherwise the colors hold true. So, standard neck shot: So many of the pearls in this strand have peacock...

What an interesting but fluid combination! And, of course, the chickens are hilarious.

For some reason, P-G's uploader makes the photo a little more pink-toned than it should be, but otherwise the colors hold true. (And, ditto, Purr! :) )

It might just be the camera, but to be entirely fair to me some of the pearls look a little more off round than I'd suspect from a "gem grade." My mother's triple strand necklace is Freshwater pearls, albeit smaller, and they look rounder up close. In any case, Like PD above says, if you want...

As so highly desired, here is a Tahitian neck shot! They are really beautiful pearls, and actually very easy to take photos of. Doesn't take much to get the colors in this strand to jump at you. There are so many pearls in the strand that have peacock tones in them that it's amazing. Truly a...

Wow! Amazing gift. They look wonderful! Thanks for sharing :)

Your pieces never cease to impress, BN!

These are all awesome. Well done!

Hah, I see the neckshots of the Tahitian necklace are in very high demand! I am visiting grandparents for the next day or so, and when I get home I will be sure that mom gets them out to take a photo! Thanks for all the compliments, everyone. :)
