Hi!

I'm so happy with this baroque--potato? fw bracelet. I bought it on *gasp* ebay.

I looked up the seller on this site, and one person had a good experience with him, so I thought I'd give him a try for some baroques. He also has a good money back guarantee policy.

The pearls are in the 12.5X10.5 range. This is what he listed on his site, though I measured them, and one of them measures 13.5!

The bracelet is set in rhodium plated sterling silver. Very glad about that, because of the silver cleaning issue. They are solid nacre.

I was really surprised that they are so lustrous, and I adore the orient which is hard to see in the photos, but they exhibit much orient.

I'm thrilled! I thought my small wrists couldn't handle larger pearls, but I was oh so wrong!

Thanks for letting me share!

Kaywal

Thanks Casey!

I tried to capture the orient in this photo.

I love taking pictures of pearls.

Jewellrywork is the name of the vendor.

Orient is hard to photograph in diffused indoor natural light! I wish I could photograph pearls for a living!

Beautiful pearls and I love the style with the hanging pearl at the end.

I love the bracelet, especially how it's made. When loops are directly linked, they tend to kink up which makes me nuts. The jump ring linking the loops is what makes the piece wearable. You will love it! Wear it in good health!

I found a similar piece. 120129456654

Hear ya go, Airdancer.

The seller's user name has two "Ls" but the store name does not. Sorry for the confusion.
