    Default Took My Breath Away.....

    These are from Kamoka Pearl.
    I'm still trying to recover my senses enough to type coherently....
    The pearls are 8mm. - 11mm., grade A and B.

    Amazingly beautiful,
    are they the same I saw in London with you, or some more else since then?
    Do you intend to make a long rope with?

    Wow! Those are incredible - the colors, the luster, the whole deal. How do you tear your eyes away from them?!

    Anna,
    I bought these with the intention of making one special necklace. But I can't take my eyes off them so am going to think about adding them to the pearls you saw in London and making one long rope - so's I can see the pearls when I'm wearing them....
    But it'd be so extravagant.....

    Boo,
    Good to see you back...
    No, I can't tear my eyes away from them at all. Been trying to string another necklace this afternoon and gotten nowhere as I keep looking at this strand.

    Mikeyy,
    Thanks for the tips - I used daylight bulbs but forgot the white cloth...
    Will try again tomorrow and use the cloth to diffuse.

    I am speechless... and envious... this is amazing! Just when I thought I developed the idea to like baroques more... not anymore...
    Congratulations! What will is be? A rope?

    And photos are extremely good!

    Sueki, those pearls are unbelievable!! I am trying to work out which of the 7 deadly sins I haven't committed just drooling over the photos.... I definitely have lust, envy, greed .... oh my, they are gorgeous. And Josh - great pearl growing there.
    Mikeyy - you are making professional photographers of us all.
