What a beautiful strand! I love the red/plum colored thread too.
Thanks, @Lisa Loves Shiny I think it’s a magenta color—I’d have to look at my stash o’ thread. And they’re actually 9-10mm. I forgot that I had them changed from 8 to 9mm.

The strand is 9-10mm. Thought I’d experiment with smaller sizes than I usually like. They’re super lustrous which makes up (mostly ) for the smaller size.I thought they looked bigger.
These are 9-9.5mm grey Akoya from Takahashi (set by them too). I have no idea how everyone else makes earshots look good, so I’ve attached a non-earshot they sent me which shows the pearls far better than my on-ear attempts. They’re smaller than a lot of pearl dangles but I wanted some of these for earrings and don’t like the look of pearl studs on my lobes (love them on others!)
ETA: apologies for the aggressively large photos! I can’t seem to re-size them. (And urgh to the sun damage freckles everywhere.)
