It is a bit blurry and the color isn't as blue as "real life." I'll try again on the weekend with natural light (if it stops raining here in Boise). The color on them is a lovely light blue with a lot of iridescence that I have absolutely missed on the photo. The strange thing are the tails and dangly things on some of them - they are "rough" looking baroques ;-)
Hi John,
The tails and dangly things on the Akoyas indicate to me that they had much more time in the shell than normally and that surely means, Your pearls have a lot more nacre around the nucleus than the commercially sold round Akoyas. That should make You quite happy, as they will last much longer than treated Akoyas.
Nice photo.
