Speaking of flowers, then: here's another - allegedly the largest conch pearl. Scroll down, then click on the picture for a larger version.

That pearl is quite something, of course, but then, some versions with 'mere' cultured pearls are none the worse: Yvel turns in grand ones regularly...

Anna, I always knew I had a soft spot for magnolia blossoms! Wow!

The Yvel bead nuc FW with handcrafted gold nuggets are pretty terrific too.. thank you again - you always come up with the most amazing photos for us to drool over..

ASHLEY! You posted EXACTLY what I was about to post!

for the record OMG! ...

would be great to have an ultra close-up of some on those pearls though... I wonder how long it took to gather/ assemble them... I mean, uhmm yeah... what's their story...
