Hi Ivona - than you for sharing your photos. I DO have a favourite - the gorgeous akoya and mixed SS piece - I am dreaming about making a multistrand necklace similar to that. Is the metal WG or sterling silver? The earrings are all lovely, the freshies fabulous, the bracelets beautiful, but, like Pattye, I really want to know more about the rings - they are fantastic!

I love your earrings, especially the ones with coin pearls (9.jpg). It would be quite a daily challenge for me if I had to choose which one of these gorgeous pieces to wear.

What a treat! It looked like the pearls were in water, then I saw air bubbles. That's a great way to get the color to show. I loooove the mixed pearl necklace and the shaded strand. You are so talented!

I liked the keishi and round pearl mix - I love texture contrasts

[Sueki]

Agree with Gemgeek, you are indeed very talented.
And, if I had to choose, I'd say the black pearls and the shaded rope.
I've got a shaded rope here that's almost complete.
It's been ages putting it together....
But I really do love them all Ivona.

How did you manage to gather the pearls for the color-graduated freshwater strand?
>>>two strands of mixed purples and so called "pinks" arranged differently - that's all - pearls from ebay-from""incompac" @ 30$ strand 9-10mm, very, very nice for the price...


The last gray necklace looks very interesting. How large are the pearls in it? (approx. since they are not symmetrical)

>>>> roundish ones 10-11mm

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

>>> two purple biwas it's silver wire ( bigger one is mounted on ring base that I could glue pearl on. The "froggy" it's "druzy" pearls in silver mounting bought from Dottie's Rocks. It was freshly made yesterday, I still had to wait for glue to dry to be able to clean the ring from "spills" of it... The silver SS (12.4mm -button) - design that I based on what I saw somewhere here, set in 14k white gold with Tanzanite on the side. I had my jeweler do this one...

An amazing assortment of beautiful pearls...I can't decide between them all.
I LOVE the first ring and how the setting seems to embrace that fabulous pearl! I am new what kind of pearl would that be?

And the Vietnamese Akoyas necklace looks like sea foam made of pearls...spectacular on you.

Thank you for sharing them.
