Could you please put links to the originals? That way we are actually advertising on behalf of those artists, giving them the credit, and readers the ability to click through.

OK. So, the pendant is from susancampbelljewelry.com, but the artist in question is actually Denise Betesh.
Ring by Yossi Harari is from bergdorfgoodman.com.
Strand with a gold/diamond clasp is from zeira.com.

Hope I did good

Actually, you need to edit the first post and give the actual internet address for each picture. That is so much easier than fumbling around looking through each dot.com

Here is a tip: When you copy a link and return to your post, type the companies' .dot.com first, then highlight it, then click on the globe with a link on it, right above your post. A little box will come up. Insert the internet address you just copied into the box and hit OK. The dot.com address will now link to the page the photo is on.

Of course, you can always email the company and ask for permission to post pictures of their designs. Give our dot.com address so they can look at this site. Tell them we are an educational site have a very large number of readers with top producers and a broad array of other pearl professionals and lots of buyers, and that you will properly use the links so that interested readers can go to their site. If this step is too much for you-don't do it, but let me know.

Here you are, CLICLASP.

Thank you Caitlin,

They are newly made, but like most of Ilias Lalaounis's jewelry they are inspired by ancient jewelry, items generally found in graves and tombs all around the world. So it's quite natural they look like museum pieces.

I was told that these are in particular the favorites of Mrs. Lalaounis.

The Lalaounis museum in Athens is a must for all of us if and when........

Know what you mean; remember seeing some Indian 22k earrings on a caucasian woman with light complexion - just doesen't look the same as on a darker skin. It can actually look weird...

But those with darker skin can get away with light gold easily - it's not fair

[Nerida]

Sueki - thank you for the close ups! I'd swear your work just gets better and better. Love the leaf clasp bracelet too. The beads on theTahitians (near the clasp) are exquisite!

Nora - yes, I've wondered about your avatar for a while now. I also thought it was some exotic piece from a museum somewhere - lucky you - what stunning earrings!

Kaywal - sadly, I just can't wear high karat gold against my skin either. That, and platinum silver SS's both make me look unwell.... I can wear small beads though like Sueki's..

22 kt. gold + 22 FWPs, designed by Lalaounis.

I love them, Nora. Where did you buy them?

[jerin]

Sueki,

beautiful Tahitians and the "grape clasp" is very nice!

[nlerner]

m4816k and Kaywal,

I find 22 and 24 kt jewelry great for any complexion. I think that it is only a matter of getting used to this very rich color.

Hallary Clinton wears Gurhan earrings and no one can claim that they do not look fabulous on her..... The jewelry that was made in Mykene, Greece, Rome, was 22 kt. and the population was not dark skinned.

So maybe all you have to do is to try again and look at it differently.....


Jerin, Eli bought me those earrings in Mykonos last June. Here is the link:

http://www.lalaounismykonos.com/

Lalaounis has shops in Athens, Rhodes, Mykonos, New York, London, Paris, Geneva, Zurich and Tokyo.

[Sueki]

Nora,
I've adored your earrings for ages.

Nerida, the necklace isn't my work - bought complete from Druzy.
But thanks for the compliment.

[nlerner]

Jerin and Sueki, thanks !

Well, Greeks and Italians aren't exactly pale - maybe they are compared to most Indians, but sure aren't compared to most Europeans.

Anyway, here's how "certain actresses" wear lots of karats
