[The Pearl Outlet]

I met a designer, Frederic Duclos, at the Vegas trade show with whom I was impressed. Here are a few designs I thought were exquisite. All the metal work is in sterling and is rhodium plated so it won't tarnish. Also, most of the pieces require very special manufacturing methods and thus can't be easily reproduced.

Here are a few picures I thought I'd share:

Wow, very fun!! That top necklace looks like half the chain is black rhodium plated too! That is a hot new look. Have also seen it used plated over 14k gold. Are the petally pearls keishi or regular petal pearls?
Obviously the lustre would be fab on those!

so many pearls, so little time

Yes, the top one is black rhodium plated. I love the look!

The pearls on the second two are keshi pearls.

This designer also makes pieces incorporating red coral and pearls.

As far as designers go, I also absolutely love Frederic Missir. www.missir.com.
