To be honest I can see what you mean though. They just don't look up to par (compared to pictures of other lavender strands of freshadamas Ive seen) . They are beautiful, but the point of the freshadamas is that they should be virtually perfect, right?
Hi members,
not even the Freshadamas are perfect when it comes to their shape. The longer you look at them closely, the more you will see that there are always some pearls, that are not round to the eye.. <it could be a trick of the brain but it is logically - if you have pearls without a nucleus, the risk must be higher to get only near rounds.
The harsh truth is - only Akoyas (and perhaps South Sea and Tahitians can have the perfect shape because of the "artifical help" of a round shaped nucleus! I agree that the matching is not so very good, on the left side there are clearly 2 smaller pearls noticable but if you are a beader, that could be easily changed.
As for a special colour of pearls - if there are fewer pearls it is to be expected that they also have fewer rounds between them then otherwise would be the case.
However, your pearls have nice luster and even though I love strong colours as Pearl love?s lavender and pink pearls, yours are such a lovely and elegant pastel-metallic in a subdued way.
A last point: the Exotics were hard to come by so that too would imply that we have to be satisfied with whatever shape they come in, I think in this case it was the colour and luster that qualified them mostly for being so called Exotics.
Let us know what PP has to say on this, thanks.
