Aung Sun Suu Kyi's pearl necklace ..

[Mary Montpezat]

Aung Sung Suu Kyi's gorgeous pearls ... any opinion or clue as to what kind they are?

 

[CLICLASP]

White with grey overglow, but big, so not Akoya but ...

I am thrilled this woman is out of prison. Prayers have been answered.

 

[Alex]

yes, I saw those too - wonderful

she addressed both Houses of Parliament here which is a rare honour

 

[Nora]

Burmese pearls were once considered the absolute best big pearls before the junta ruined the industry. Maybe these are those. Let's hope that along with democratization, the Myanmar pearl industry revives.

I saw the film The Lady today..excellent! She is an amazing woman.

 

[Amrita]

Those are gorgeous pearls - silver blue..

The earrings she is wearing look big and have a nice luster.

 

[GemGeek]

She's a tiny woman, so they could be 9mm silver blue akoyas. If they were Burmese, that would be amazing!

 

[Amrita]

Yeah, they do look like akoyas to me too..the color and luster is quite identical to a lot that I have although these are 5-6 mm
