Wow!

I love that color. I think I have only seen it in crayon colors before. Deep Prussian Blue/green. Lovely. Wear it a lot!

Astonishingly beautiful! What sort of chain do you wear it with?

Does this monster need a foster family? A godparent??

That is a stunning pearl, Sheri - but where are the bats, beetles and spiders? Very conventional (for you) but just so, so gorgeous!

I was so eager to get it on my neck, just have it on a simple 18k chain right now. The bail is quite large, could easily work as an enhancer, so I imagine I'll come up with some more interesting options for it. Will have to play around with the colors, as the pearl is rather changeable depending on the light and background. Right now, we're just happy getting to know each other.

And don't worry, Nerida, I'm not getting boring and stodgy - there's just a little corner of this goth girl that happens to be really really attracted to klonks!

Now that is one breathtaking pearl! Thank you for posting the size. If you hadn't I would have thought the bust was full-sized and I would have fainted dead away!

George! How absolutely lovely to finally meet you! Not to be indelicate, but you are larger in real-life, correct? On second thought, a man who fits into a pearl is a wonderful invention!
