I like the shape of both for different reasons, but I prefer the color of the first.

Unbelievable! Anybody want to go down there and buy a bunch of $5 pearls?

That's the kind of experience I'd like to have!

"the eyes look a little bit more like Cookie Monster from Sesame Street if he had terminal liver failure"

Very funny Slraep, no but seriously, that is quite impressive, aside from the eyes ... :D...

Iridesse you say, I hadn't noticed it before. Thanks for mentioning it, it gave me a delightful couple of minutes of browsing.

I don't know if you'd call me a gentlemen of discerning taste, but don't like the clasp fully extended. However if the clasp was at the front, but set four pearls back, and complemented by Knotty's...

I agree wholeheartedly, unbleached is the way to go.

:cool: Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that. Good point, but such a pity...

:eek: What a contrast! Both in size and color!
Please tell us, will you be keeping it or will you be selling it? (If the latter, I bet most PGers will be at each others throats over this one. ;)...

I'm sorry Raisondetre, I didn't take into consideration the purpose of the necklace or the circumstances. :o

Simply out of curiosity, are we allowed to know what clasp you chose to complement such giants?

Nice to have someone else explain my absence from the forum.
I'll just show you the last one I did today, hope it's OK, my eyes feel like they've closed and gone fishing.

Fantastic! Actually this is the first I could see. All the others had expired.
I was completely taken by the ORBIS. It may not be the best thing I've ever seen when compared logically, but this...

Very impressive Raisondetre! I really hope you don't mind me saying so, but I can see a very marked difference between the lightest peach/pinks and the whites. Oh, pardon me, it's probably supposed...

Well Mausketeer, I wish you all the best, regardless of how you get this pearl drilled. However it will always be a lot more special if you drill it yourself. If you want the best job done on it then...

I can't believe that price! :eek:
I could buy half of pearlparadise's white south sea necklaces for that amount. Don't get me wrong, I love freshwater dearly, but I'd never pay that much!

The problem I have with Tahitians is that every time I fall head over heels for one necklace, I'll find a better one a week later. And it keeps happening again and again. So I sympathize with your...

Here are some quotes I like.

"Dive into the sea of thought, and find there pearls beyond price."
Moses Ibn Ezra, Shirat Yisrael

"Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth...

Very nice Slraep, enjoy your booby traps. On a duller note, couldn't they simply cover the mussel beds with a net, that when tampered with, sounded an alarm at the police station. Or have the beds...

Awesome necklace! Although, I'd never thought of using invasive species as a source for jewelry.

And thanks to you Knotty, I'll probably have nightmares about zebra mussels!

Can't see anything either. But I did like Gem Geek's link.

I haven't the faintest idea where you might find such a pearl, but you could just try eating a pile of them in the hopes of finding one. (Any excuse really, they're supposed to be quite tasty.)

I think we all took one look at that strand and then imagined slowly running our fingers over it's smooth surface and...

Uhm!:eek:

Back to reality. Verdict is in: you've got some fab pearls...

Ah... the ups and downs of globalization. But seriously, if we had primitive communication and transportation, the same economic problems would have completely different effects on the world as a...

Nice odds and ends! I just love making things like that where you get to play around and let your inspiration run wild... and end up with a nifty little work of art!

Fantastic color! Pity they're coin pearls.
