But whites.... well, I think the RIGHT whites are far from boring - thinking here of Jeremy's beautiful untreated white akoyas that I saw at the ruckus - they were magnificent. And with a black dress, the beauty is not in the white, but in the amazing range of overtones.
That's right. I'd forgotten I pulled those out when you were here. We've had some for a while, but the challenge has been to photograph them in a way to show the true color, and explain the color. That's why they are not on our site. We've kept them for in-house customers.
Jeremy,
If you decide to carry this line and have more than one shade of gold, it would be interesting to see them on Pearl Paradise models' wrists. I am thinking of showing light and dark gold against 3 skin colors like the white akoyas' overtone photo. Just a thought!
There is some demand for the natural-color akoya, especially in Japan. The Madama, as it's called, is more expensive in Japan than they hanadama. Madama is the hanadama term used for the blue-silver-rose round strands that have been certified.
hey, nice pearls. stunning deep gold colour.
What are they in though, they look like eggs arranged on a tray just like I just got from the farm?
Hanaleimom: I am not in the market for white strand anymore... I think.
But you will be when you find the right white strand. I love good whites...
Now I am pretty fairskinned etc but I think I can pull of GSS pretty well. I find it amazing how it isn't just one type of skintone that works with each pearl hue.

Heidi said:A couple more questions, and please pardon my digression (must be something in the air):
To be certain I understand, does Madama indicate a certified untreated strand? Are these ever exported or are they strictly available in Japan?
