Stunning pieces on an equally stunning model!

[Island Bound]

It's probably a good thing she was your friend as I don't think anyone else would have given those amazing pieces back to you! Your work is beautiful!

Beth your pieces are gorgeous... the GSS ones are my favourites (always).. gorgeous model too, pity you couldn't include a sound byte or two..

[jerin]

I second that, Beth. Beautiful pieces and a lovely model. Very nice designs and colours!

[pearlescence]

really great. You are developing a clear design 'look'

[Bernadette]

Wow! Absolutely Stunning and that includes the model!
you really do have a talent.

Pattye, Julie, Nerida, Inge, Wendy and Bernadette.Thanks so much for you kind comments.

I wish that I could attach those sound bytes--Chandra's voice is as glorious as her beauty. Hmmmm--maybe I will work on a way to do that.

Thanks again, Beth

Wow, gorgeous pearls!

Well, here are two necklace that I just restrung.

The first is my Lombok pearl necklace--I added three pearls, knotted between each pearl and the tiny 22k gold spacers on each side of the larger gold beads. It is now longer. I also attach a not very good neck shot--snapped by my husband as we were leaving for a reception. The other necklace includes emeralds and white fw keishis--I have struggled with this one, but I finally decided on relative simplicity.

Blondes always look great with gold SS pearls and your photo demonstrates this - great pearls and an overall great look

[GemGeek]

Those were made for you!

[Cassiopeia]

Gorgeous pieces, and that strand looks lovely on you.

[bluesea]

Excellent work. the combination of pearls in the necklaces are great. I liked the design in keshi pearls as their odd shape is really a designer's challenge. Great job

[pattye]

Those are gorgeous! And even more so when worn by you! Usually I like rather simple the best.

Thanks so much Wendy, Blaire, Cassiopiea, Bluesea and Patty.

I was unsure about the knotting on the golden pearl necklace. I knotted after each pearl and then again before each pearl. Kotting before the pearl (and after the bead and spacer) was the most difficult becuase the spacer kept getting caught in the knot as it was pulled. I do think that the knotting and the spacers give the necklace more flexibility.

I did not knot the other one for a number of reasons.

Here is a closer photo of my knotting attempts. ( I had not knotted in several years so I had to do this very slowly over a period of days--not experienced as many of you are.)
