I really like this enhancer - it is thinking outside the enhancer box - usually a single big pearl. Round of applause.

Very, very nice! I'm totally into the enhancer thing and that was one of the only things I sold at the new farmer's market I'm working each Sat. I'm planning on doing a lot for Christmas. In tight times, flexible jewelry's a good deal!

Hi, here's my latest-- a pearl rope for my daughter in law to wear to her 20th class reunion! My intention was not to do rush custom orders, but, well, things change. The red pearls are Terry's Lop Noors!

I always have concerns with mixing pearls and gems, that it won't look like cheap beads. The other gems are dark red button pearls, faceted rock crystal quartz roundels, faceted black onyx ovals, faceted garnet roundels, and corrugated sterling silver roundel spacers. It is 44 inches long. I had to restring today because one of the garnet roundels broke.

I thought you might like to see another variation with Terry's beautiful red Lop Noors!! The outdoor photo is more true to the actual color.

Hi Pattye -

Great job with the colors! I think the mix of pearls and gems in this case works really well.

I think it looks like the yummiest, cherry, cranberry, rich, and luscious strand.

Lovely Pattye! The earrings really enhance the beauty of the red pearls in the necklace too and make the whole set look classy. Nice combination of colors! What a caring mother-in-law you are!

Pattye,
How original the color combo is. Very innovative and a refreshing break from all of the pastel combos.
