Yowsah! Yowsah! Yowsah! That baroque Akoya is *killer*--it's got such orient!!!

Also, Mandy, I like the quality of your photos! Thanks for sharing--and that pear-shaped "faux" pearl. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know it's not an $$$ heirloom. Really lovely pendant.

Must... shop... Amazon.com!!!

I believe some of the pearls are flat on one side (see the one at the top of the picture), while others are not? If you were looking for this shape from a supplier, what would you call them?

These are simply called baroque and the most of the pearls range in around 10mm, giving the necklace a nice weight! I love them; they're so feminine and vibrant.

Mandy,

Thanks for the additional photos! The akoya pendant is amazing! How nice of Boo to make it for you. I don't think she has been around here lately. And the green is fun also!

By the way, Mandy-- those pink FW baroques are just luscious! What great color!
