I think they are more interesting than a perfectly round strand, I don't have any round akoyas so I can't really make a comparison regarding luster between these and high grade akoyas,but the luster on these are definitely high.
I really like the rose overtones on my pearls, I would like to identify the shade of white on mine, will take some more photos in daylight.
Does anyone know if these are treated eg pinked like the usual akoyas?
