In other words, pearls in high karat gold - do you like them, do you have them, maybe share a picture or two...?

Here we have a 24k mabe ring from www.neimanmarcus.com, tahitian 22k necklace from www.susancampbelljewelry.com and 22k diamond clasp of a pearl strand from www.zeira.com.

Yes, I do like pearls with high carat gold; but then again, I like pearls full stop.
Here's one of my necklaces.
Tahitians with 22 carat gold.

Sueki - are these the pearls from Josh? They look absolutely beautiful! Can we have a close up of the beads and clasp?

Thanks!

m4816K - I love the diamond and gold ball clasp - that is quite stunning!

Sorry, m4816k,
I got carried away and forgot to say that your pics. are super.
I especially like the mabe ring.
Oh, and here's a bracelet of freshwater pearls with silver, which I absolutely adore.

Nerida,
No, these aren't Josh pearls. I'll try for close-ups.
But my camera doesn't like going really close. Still, I'll see what I can do....

Forgot to mention that none of the stuff from "my" pics is actually mine - it's all googled up and loaded down I love that look so I came up with this thread.

m4816k,

The ring and the pendant look very much like the work of Carolyn Tyler or Gurhan.

Pendant is Susan Campbell and ring is Yossi Harari (it looks a lot like those of Gurhan indeed).

Hi Sueki
how do you close your necklace with that fantastic pendant with a leaf in between ?

Hi Cliclasp,
That is a bracelet and the silver leaf and grapes is the clasp.
Just a simple hook clasp, too. But it does make an attractive focal point. So no matter if the clasp slips around to the front....
If I get a minute I'll take a photo. of the reverse of the clasp.

Pics are fun and Pretty. Almost like stuff from Museums I have seen from antiquity as their stuff is high carat gold as well.

Just love it! Although tahitians aren't really my thing, but this piece has quite a few silver ones, which I really like (although my favorite pearls are goldens - go figure).

Hi m4816k

This is a great thread idea and the pieces are great.

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.

Nora, Those are magnificent! I wondered about them. I thought they were ancient pearls from a museum! Did you make them?
