Panda, the smaller ovals are a lot more metallic than the larger ones, and many of them seem silver-gray depending on the light. I think the larger ovals have better colors overall. But the smaller ones are more uniform in shape and size.
I had originally gotten this strand (the small ovals) thinking I would use it to make earrings and a bracelet, but if I select out the really colorful ones for earrings, the rest of the bracelet would suffer.
I haven't decided yet whether to knot the bracelet, string it on beading wire with spacers, or maybe connect the pearls with wire loops.
I'm adding first indoors (diffuse light) and then outdoors (sunlight) shots of the 8-9mm rounds for comparison of the color in different lighting. (Eek, going public with my wrinkly neck!)
