It's cold and gloomy, so decided to sit out in the rain and take photos of some of my slightly less conventional pearl creations.

The necklace is a combination of freshwater and natural grey baroque akoya pearls with vermeil and rough diamonds. The bat and spider/web pendants are tahitian and south sea pearls with sterling and vermeil.

These are my goth pearls...

I just love the necklace - definitely my colour tones, and it is just divine! Do you sell these gorgeous pieces?

I really don't have a goth bone in my body, but I do love good design, and I think your goth pieces are pretty special too - we have to wear things that express our individuality! Great to see beautiful pearls used in such a unique way..

I do sell some of my pieces, but I'm afraid the necklace would be rather pricey, as those raw diamonds alone were $200 (and a real pain to work with - the tiniest holes imaginable!!!). The adventure was more in the making than the wearing, though I do really love the colors. Feel free to PM me if you would like more information.

And thanks to you all for your kind comments about my creepy goth pieces!

I really like the bat pendant, especially how you chose that pearl for the top, reminds me of a moon with cobwebs on it. I love fun jewelry, thanks for making it!
MAKE MORE!

I particularly enjoy the bat with the pearl. An imaginative use of the tahitian!

When I look at these photographs, and the others I have seen from the 'Lowly Beaders' I am so envious. I can't imagine the level of skill, patience, and creativity necessary to turn out such beautiful pieces. I looked at that necklace and gasped. I'm no Goth (although I hate to say it, I was when I was 16), and I'm no spring chicken either, but oh what I'd give to wear it.

I used to be much more of a purist, but I've discovered there's a lot more flexibility when you mix things up a bit...
