Oh, I've just had a thought! This design would also look incredible with those coloured Tahitians from Josh that Sheri bought.

Yummy! However, it may cause one to experience a curious lightening effect on one's purse.

Excellent! Couldn't be more beautiful. Is the pearl in the middle of the dangle green? It looks like it from here. Jeremy, here's another reason to include paper towels with each order, to wipe away the drool!

Thanks everyone! I just love it. Jeremy: thank you, thank you, thank you for the opportunity to have such amazing pearls. What a blast to go from the images floating about in my mind as I anxiously awaited the offer to opening my package and seeing the pearls for the first time, sorting them out, assembling them, getting such useful feedback from all the wonderful members of the forum, and finally ending up with such an incredible piece of jewelry! I can't wait to see what everybody else does

Hi Debbie
and congratulations on a very fine jewelry piece (or pieces, rather). I like the dangle with the round gold beads very much, simple and very elegant together with the toggle up front! If I have enough pearls I think I will do the same design as it is just so chic, as we say over here.

The bracelet does look very nice, it will be interesting to hear if the crimp is holding well. I have no experience at all with 7-strand wire, IŽll wait for reports from our members.

Wear it with pride!

About the 7 ply wire-- I have used it with flat stone tourmaline slices that had tiny holes and I didn't have a problem with it-- it was Softflex.

Hi Boo,
I don't bead and I have no idea what everyone is talking about...wire, gimps, etc. But I love your creation... so creative. I like the dangle on the left the most, with the tiny beads and no daisies. Thanks for sharing.
