Please check out my new Tahitians....I had been looking at baroque Tahitian necklaces, pendants and other ideas for a couple of months now. Ashley at PurePearls was just wonderful showing me different Tin Cup, strand and pendant ideas. Kirsten and especially Jennifer from Pearl Paradise were also very helpful and PATIENTwith me. In the end, I choose a baroque Tahitian strand and loot pearl bracelet from PP. They arrived today in time for me to wear to church on Sunday for Mother's Day.

I am very happy. I also have to thank Hanaleimom, Jeanpn and Jerin for their assistance in answering my questions about pearls. My loot bracelet is just lovely and Jennifer did a wonderful job of matching it to my grade AAA strand. I would've loved a loot strand, but not in my budget right now, maybe the future.

The first image is scanned, the 2nd photo is the pearls on my neck.
The final photos are shown with the good ole paper towel trick.

PS My husband admired them too, said it was a bold look for me (I have only worn white pearls) and he also said it brought out different colors in my green eyes. <giggle>

Wow, those look beautiful! Very nice job on the white paper towel photos too - the colors really come out against that background. (Of course, you're making me regret that I didn't get a loot bracelet...!)

Ooooh, fabulous, Jody. Absolutely gorgeous.
Hmmm, I must remember about the green eyes next time I need to justify more black pearls to my husband.......

Hi Jody
and congratulations on your fine Tahitians. Quite a fitting avatar picture, wouldn´t you say? They look great on you, not in the least bold but just suiting you very well.
