Thank you, Pomelo! Hmmm… from Takahashi, I have the golden Akoya strand, the natural white, and then pinked white Akoya strands in slightly differing overtones. Then I have a few vintage strands that were either inherited or gifts. I had to think about your question as to why I choose which one to wear and I don’t think it has to do with the color/overtone. I like all the shades of whites and the golden on. I think I make the choice by size and length as to which will go with what I am wearing. Might have to do with the neckline or if it will be a layer. All the strands are different mm, and I purposely knotted them at different lengths from 15-34”. The goldens are really gorgeous, and I didn’t realize a high quality strand is quite rare until Mr. Seki and Hisano were talking about it on the first Takahashi live event, so that might explain why you haven’t seen any in person yet.
