Sueki,

Beautiful Tahitian pearl made into a beautiful pendant. Lovely design - looks wonderful with the rubies.

Nerida,
I'll try to take some photos tomorrow of the pendant on a couple of strands.

That's a lovely pendant! I think the pink goes so well with that Tahitian pearl...nice color combination!

Sorry this took me so long; and apologies, too, for the poor quality of the photos.
Don't know why, but I can't get a decent photo. at all.

Beautiful. The great thing is that the enhancer goes so well with all the strands, picking up the colors of each while satisfying a different mood. (Personally prefer the baroque platinum SSs for dazzle.)

Other than that, a break from the UK winter for a little deeper skin tone would be highly recommended…

Hi Sueki,

The pendant looks gorgeous on all - I especially like it on the Tahitians, but yes, have to agree about the baroque SS's as well - all lovely! Thankyou for taking the time to post the photos - It is fantastic to see such a unique piece put a different perspective on so many differing strands.

Lusting after your SS's, and your Tahitians.... etc. etc... but mostly after your skill in jewellery making!

Hi Sueki,
I am too lazy to answer and Nerida´s post says it all. Congratulations to this lovely piece, it is nice you can have it on many different strands.

Oh, and a P.S.
Those "baroque SS's" are the untreated baroque akoyas from PearlParadise a while ago.

LOL - thanks for posting that - that's what I thought they were, but everybody else had me assuming I was wrong, which seemed reasonable since I am unfamiliar with the look of SS pearls (my exposure is quite limited). Guess I know more than I think I do

Whoops, thanks. A strand of SS platinum keshis with the same tone and intensity we recently acquired from Druzy had me going in that direction. The result is the same—be it a compliment to the akoyas, the keshis, or both!

Love the finished photos! Very nice work, Sueki! I really like the mix of light and dark- a study in contrast.

Thanks Ashley and Mary
Mary, I bought the bale from a U.K. supplier here: www.cooksongold.com
They call it a "clip bale with figure of eight"
