Wow, your collection is amazing! I love the look of the FW in graduated colours and the wonderful rainbow coloured earrings.

[quote=La Contessa;34423]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?


it's purple double "stick" pearl, very thick & shiny with silver wire wrapped around it...

Thank you for the complement.
I use Canon PowerShot IS5. Manual settings ( I fiddle a lot with settings, but always in manual mode using little tripod (gorillapod-I love this thing !!), super macro mostly, daylight ( no direct sunlight). I don't Photoshop - still did not learn how....)

When Knotty showed her beautiful submission to TPO, my first reaction was "shoot, I thought that I invented detachable necklaces...". Obviously I didn't.... I want to show you how I wear my multiple purple strands:
components:


every strand finished with spring rings:


and this I what I do with it:

Ivona,

Very versatile use. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Ivona,

What creativity! And versatility! Lots of great looks possible, I especially love the frog broach. those big clip rings are similar to what I use to make a torsade out of long continuous ropes. THANK YOU for showing the neck shots too! Are the pearls fw? And purpley colors?

so many pearls, so little time

yes & yes.... those purple FW are my weakens. I always look for the darkest & shiniest - shapes are secondary. All those strands are made of pearls like that: 8-9mm potato, 6-7 almost round( 5 strands - those are the nicest with lots of blue & green in them), 8-9 oval ans 4-5 almost round.
Thanks for looking...

Ivona,
Wow!! You're so creative. Thank you for your pictures. You have given me some great ideas for wearing my pearls.

Maybe a "Imanit" submision to TPO coming up? I love the versatility of your piece/s. Very very wearable.

[GemGeek]

You have an delightful set of pearls. I especially like the frog!

[Kaywal]

Very cool! You have some gorgeous pearls!

I like how you pulled several strands through the donut on one side and only a few strands on the other. You have a whole wardrobe in that one piece. Very pretty.
