My baroques Akoyas

[imanit]

Being a rather tall, big "girl", one row small silver Akoyas from PP would do nothing to "improve my beauty".....
I chose to buy lesser quality directly from Australia. For what I had in mind, I wanted color and shine, but I could do with "cheaper variety" of the pearls. I'm happy with the result. Bracelet is really a chain that is long enough to go 3x around my neck and I made two like this to wear them together when I want a necklace. When I wear the earrings - one chain on my wrist is enough....
To make all that I used 3 16" strings of akoyas...

Ivona, I love the color and your design is so wearable. They almost look like Sea of Cortez pearls. Congratulations on a fabulous set of jewelry!

Stunning work. I love the look of natural Akoya pearls and you captured it so well in the "free flow" look of the jewelry. Now, if a guy could only get away with wearing that bracelet...

Ivona - I love it! I did something a little similar with mine: I cut apart one strand to mkae earrings and pendants, but I took the 7 largest pearls from that strand and suspended them at intervals from the front of a wide link sterling chain. It's a really neat look, but yours blows it out of the water in terms of lushness. I like the movement you must get from the suspended drops. Way cool! (but how do you ever manage to tear your eyes away from it as it dances on your wrist?)

And y'all know how I'm gonna feel about the earrings!
