Hello all!
Here are some pictures of my “loot” strand from Pearl Paradise. When I saw this picture: Loot! I didn’t think it was mine because the colors were so different from what I remembered. It just goes to show you how different pearls can appear in different light. Here are my own photos:
Best wishes,

Ooh, very nice. I definitely like the ball clasp - which is it - the laser?

[jeanpn]

Thank you, yes it is the laser clasp. I'm not sure gold was the right color for these pearls, but I suppose I could change it when they're restrung, eventually.

Wow Jeanpn!
Amazing pearls. As a farmer I can assure you that those pearls came from a very large number of others. The peacock greens are luscious. Your photos kill it BTW.
Jeremy, I suspect your camera was on the "sunlight setting," making the photo pink, when it should have been set to the "tungsten setting" most likely. I learned this recently in my own photos.

Thank you, Josh. Here's the irony: I'm red/green color deficient. I have much more difficulty seeing the green (and red) than others. I wonder if that's why I'm attracted to it? I took a lot of photos to try to get the color right, but the bottom line is, I'm just not the best judge of that. I've really enjoyed looking at your photos. You're growing amazing pearls! Keep the photos (and the pearls) coming!
Best wishes,
Jean

WOW. You are very lucky to have such a great strand!

The clasp style, BTW is called Stardust...has a rough feel. I have one in white gold.

This is my loot necklace. I really love the barrel-shaped pearls.

[Kaywal]
