Enchanted by these pastel keshis

[PearlSailor]

I had to show these on the forum here. I am so smitten by this 18" strand. They are 9mm pastel keshis. I've worn them nearly every day since I got them two weeks ago. This is my first try at getting them captured on camera and posted here.
Hope you all see what I see in them.

Oh, yes!!!! They are absolutely yummy. Are they from anyone we know from this site?

No, they are Honora pearls I bought online without handling them first. I guess I was lucky they are so nice, but they were returnable so I thought the risk was low. I think this strand is part of Honora's so-called Private Reserve and this necklace is called "water lilies".

I joined this site after I bought these, so I could learn more about keshis and how to care for pearls. I've learned a ton here and even happier that I have a place to share views of my treasures and get advice.

It was really fun to take them into natural light (I put them on a navy blue pillow case) and figure out how to take the best photo that could show off the colors and luster. I'm so glad you replied with such enthusiasm, Lisa. Thanks.

When I look at this pretty necklace, I feel like spring is just around the corner! Soooo delightful! The clasp is a lovely design also! Their colors show up nicely in the photo, too.

FYI, Michael Schechter, Director of community at Honora Pearls, is a member of this forum. I think he joined last year.

They are very pretty! I have quite a few Honora pieces myself.....

Welcome! and you are lovely to share your pearl enthusiasm with us.

Those are beautiful! And what a lovely name. I personally can't pay Honora's prices, but I admit they have interest and quality.

Thanks for the kind words PearlSailor (you too Lisa, LBoone and Patty!). Glad you are loving your Water Lilies necklace. Nice job getting the colors to pop, those keshi's can be tricky! Wear them well!

Appreciate the kind words on our quality and point of view Caitlin, hope we have something to tempt you with soon!

Are they dyed CFW? I'm still learning. Ok, I checked the site, they are.
