Goodness! That endless thing should be illegal

Anyone care to guess what Lina's treasure might be worth? What a treasure... Must have been as famous as the owner back in the day.

Her pendant appears to have been made of some stones circled with unusually large (for this application) pearls. Reminds me a bit of the designs with pearl trims at Kojimapearls Only rings built like that are now listed, but I think there was at least one pendant (with black round keshi edge) posted somewhere.

Wowee Elisa,
Those latest photos. leave me speechless - except to say that it's gorgeous on you.
I'm a huge fan of ropes; I join anything and everything that I can get away with to acheive the look.
But maybe I should treat myself to one long rope anyway......

That's really, really nice, Terry....( pearls ain't bad, either )
Seriously, it's good to see the pearls on a model.

Agreed! As lovely as pearls are, they just don't completely come to life until they are put on

I bought the 60" multi color rope (which I love!), but now I'm kicking myself for not getting the white 100" as well. At the time, I was thinking I don't really need two ropes. I should have known better!

I don´t think it´s great to have freshwater pearls to show a product made of akoya...

Welcome to the forum, Elisa.

You do look very sexy in that outfit and I can see why Terry wants your photo! Very nice, thanks!

Sorry, I can be so stupid sometimes.

Maybe a picture of an akoya rope too for comparison would be better though, so the costumers can see the difference.

I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between a 100" Akoya rope and a 100" Freshwater rope without a closeup... Even then, with a high end Freshwater rope, there would still be no visible difference between the two.

Wow! I think a pendant would be awesome. Kojima Pearls has some enhancers on the site. http://www.kojimapearl.com/jewelry/pendants/kdp792.html

But a pendant on the Pearl-Outlet pics would definitely show the versatility of the rope.
