As highly requested -- neck shots of the Tahitian strand! I said I would comment a little more in this thread than on the PP thread.
P-G's uploader tints a little pink, but otherwise the colors hold true.
So, standard neck shot:
So many of the pearls in this strand have peacock effects/overtones that it's crazy! I didn't notice until I was able to look a little more closely by the nice window light:
The colors are amazing, interesting, so well thought out, and
INTENSE!
A closeup of some of just a few of the peacock tones: (and I didn't get the focus very well - phone kept jumping straight to my mother's sweater texture)
The luster is amazing, the overtones are gorgeous, and the surface quality is just about perfect - maybe one, or two, TINY blemishes on the whole strand.
I see why this strand was a VIP strand -- truly one that almost has to be seen to be believed.
