Pearl Dreams thank you! I always post the picture from my phone, that's why they flip!
A few more pictures:
Alone on my white dressin table:
Then a closeup. They have an incredible luster:
Then next to my blue baroque Akoyas, which are 9-9.5 mm:
And next to the drops from Wen. These drops are really shiny, but the akoyas outdo them!
Originally I wanted to make a tin cup of them, but now I'm just going to enjoy them for a while. Their luster fascinates me!

It's taken some time but here are my graduated freshadama triple:
I sent the clasp to PP and bought another 3 inches of pearls:
On the neck:
I was worried that the freshadama wouldn't be 'white' enough but they turned out fine. Not as white as my super white strand but these are not creamish so I can wear them phew.
They are 3.5 to 9.5mm (wanted to show the original listing but the pic is too small)
So finally scratching my triple strand itch ever since I saw BAS' gorgeous triple metallics. Phew.

BE STILL MY HEART! I love your triple strand. I love BAS's strand, too.
It's a look that's on my wish list.
What are the lengths of the strands?
I did a double strand on my grandmother's clasp, and debated on whether I should have done a triple, since it's a triple clasp.
But I didn't get graduated strands, because I wanted to wear the clasp in front. A triple wouldn't work unless I replaced my two even strands with thee graduated ones, like yours. I started with an 18" strand and added a 19" strand, and keep wondering if I should have gone with a 17" and 18" strand instead.

Oh be still my heart
Icy your necklace is worthy of a queen! Enjoy your new beauty! How about a rear neck shot so we can see your magnificent clasp?

Thank you all. The pearls are back in the safe and I need to pack for my HK trip but I'll be sure to do a rear shot when I'm back.
I asked for the strands to be 17, 18 and 19 inches without the clasp, and the clasp is nearly one inch so it works out to 18, 19, and 20 inches. Typically I prefer my strands to be at least 19 inches but for this I was worried that it will get a bit too long for my normal neckline/clothes.
I have to say that the Queen is a good reference. Can't count how many times I looked for pics of Queen E's triple pearls on Google!
