I had the privilege to visit Pearl Paradise this past Thursday, March 26th, and meet the lovely Hisano. I ended up purchasing a strand of oval multi-color Tahitians.
Thank you to PG posters for your help in educating me about Tahitians. I started another thread here on PG about hunting for Tahitians, which I originally thought I wanted, and many of you recommended that I see Tahitians in person, and that I look at internet posts to help me interpret pictures. Following these suggestions helped me feel comfortable with making this purchase.
While discussing circled Tahitians with Hisano, she brought to my attention a lot of oval multicolor strands posted to the PP Blog back in February:

I requested to reserve the multi strand, and saw them this past Thursday. When I saw them, I forgot to ask about the other strands we had discussed. (I did request to see other Tahitians though, including rounds to better understand Tahitians.)
The multis are beautiful, and I feel so fortunate to have bought them, and to have seen so many beautiful pearls with a pearl expert and artist of Hisano's caliber. Hisano suggested 2 silver pearls from the multi strand to be set in earrings. The rest of the pearls will be strung for a necklace.
Here is a picture that Hisano provided me via email during the search. On the left is a circled strand that Hisano originally suggested to me, and the multi on the right that she suggested. The circled was described to be as "10.1 -12 mm in AA+/AAA quality with overtones of greens and peacocks. " The multi is 8.5-10.3 mm AAA.
