Ahem .. Checking in for comments on these, please; :eek:

Imgaden- I do not know much about Edison pearls other than they are bigger freshwater and being created certain way. I sent you a PM :)

Thank you all for such a great info. and to Pearl Dreams for sharing picture of your BEAUTIFUL necklace. Those pearls look great on you :) I live in OC, CA so I might stop by Pearl Paradise store one of these days to see how good quality SS pearls look like in person - though it's be awhile...

Hi Imgarden, what are those pearls on the bracelet? I am usally not a fan of unround pearls but these are soooo adorable!!!!

Thank you all again for the compliment! I thought I wanted to get freshwater pearl necklace for casual wear but they turn out to be too stunning to wear casually! :o

Hello, I have been researching about South Sea pearls, WSS in particular, and come across many info from many random website; - Some said they are known to be round, but I have also seen many mentioned that most SS aren't round (??) - There would, most of the time, be some blemishes in few of...

Omg, both WSS and GSS are stunning!! I was mesmerized by their beauty that I forgot about the bumpers again! Thanks for sharing the link :) I guess it makes sense about that many comments says -- bumpers are probably suitable for heavier strand, and knotts for longer ones.

Pearl Dreams - thank you for the pictures. I cannot say much about the bumpers from the pics but man those gold SS are gorgeous!!!!!!!!

Here comes another new thing I learn today - silicon bumper! LOL Does anyone has pictures of pearl strand with these bumper? Do they look good? I would think knotting somehow give the necklace the "crafty" look that I might prefer, esp for such an organic jewels such as pearls. I have been...

Kalmen22 - thank you, too! I thought my next pearl purchase might be white south sea pearls yours make me want to also check out Madama Akoya :) Would love to see and hear when you restring them. I have Hanadama necklace purchased from Japan that has no knots and they are very stiff too. In a...

Kalmen22 - Your necklace is absolutely beautiful!!!!! They are everything that I would want in akoya pearls - color, luster, size :)

Here comes the neck shots of the Metallic Freshadama -- Might as well put on the Akoya Hanadama for comparison -- I cannot believe how PP's Freshwater can be comparable to Akoya Hanadama!! I may check out PP's Akoya pearls one of these days :))

Hello All, Thank you for the compliments on those pearls. All credits go to Pearl Paradise esp. Hisano who is so sweet and helpful. Yes, I am a very lucky person! I'll try to take picture of neckshot, though I feel a little intimidated that my neckline will not live up to how gorgeous these...

These are 8-8.5mm

Wow! High Fives to everyone being able to tell them apart ;) I was asked by our fellow member to take some pictures of the Metallic Freshadama on white paper towel, might as well post those pictures here -- though I am always curious about white surface as I came acrossed many threads asking...

Hello All, First of all, sorry for being MIA. I actually took a bit of all advices from everyone here and purchased Freshadama stand from PP with 20%. Few weeks later, Hisano reached back to be that she was able to find White Metallic Freshadama I was asking and waiting for. After another few...

I want both luster and roundness actually. Yes I have actually reached out to Hisano at Pearl Paradise. Hisano sent me the below picture of the comparison of AAA Metallic White and Freshadama. Since I like the luster of the metallics but also prefer them as near perfect round as possible...

Hello Pearl Dreams, Thank you for your reply :) I do not know much about WSS as they are way out of my price range now, though I heard they are huge and gorgeous. Since the hanadama strand I own has always been in the box as I feel it is very delicate, I plan for my next strand to be somewhat...

Hello, I am a newbie. After having been reading many good articles/threads, I decided to join the community :) I am planning to buy another strand of pearl necklace and become indecisive, hopefully some pearl experts here will be able to help. - How close in looks is Metallic Freshadama to...
