Finally!! My akoya necklace is here!

[clockworkreader]

My akoya necklace (which I thought was 6.5-7 but is actually 6-6.5mm) is knotted and ready! The luster absolutely blew me away again, just like the first time I saw it. More comments coming later, but I just had to post some pictures first because I was too excited. I apologise in advance for the photo spam, and for my hairy fingers

I mentioned in my other thread that the strand actually beats my Mikimoto Q2 (AA) studs in luster. The difference is noticeable in person, but perhaps not in pictures. (The studs are slightly mismatched in person, but less so than the photos suggest.)

I also photographed my new akoya babies next to my freshwater double strand, which has very sharp luster in its own right.

Thanks for letting me share!
