Jeremy - this is just random musing because I am still getting over my Christmas expenses , but how distinct are the overtones on the white FW? Would a necklace of rose, silver and ivory overtones look like a muted, subtle multicolor or just a poorly matched strand? Since I like the colors so much, I only have one white strand and don't really know how the overtones compare...

PP has updated the item description. I'd be tempted if I weren't holding out for a graduated strand of white Freshadama. But it's a great deal for those not fussed on orient. As some people have mentioned orient on round pearls is not as pronounced as on other less desired shapes.

Orient is usually comprised of both a silver and rose overtone. I would say in natural light coming from the side would be the best way to observe the orient...(i.e. sitting next to a window during 2 pm sunlight). Jeremy may have a different respose, but this has been my experience. The reason that orient is usually made up of a variety of overtones is because of the nature that it is. Orient is like a rainbow of many colors at once. It can be compared to those bulbs that people place on their lawns. (Lawn Balls? I can never remember what the correct term for them is).

I hope this helps.

I know it is a bit late but if somebody wanted to see Jeremy's December special in action - here it is:



I got both colours and together they are just great. Sorry the picture is not so good, I was struggling with camera for quite a while.

They are not so much different in colour as they stand on the site but different in structure. And they make a wonderful sound against each other when they (as it was explained on the site about the source of inspiration!) slide free on the wrist. Thank you Jeremy and Josh, what a party!!!

Two together - how glamorous!!! And the ring is perfect. I can see them worn with a 1940s silver bias-cut silk gown!

Olga, your ring is breathless! So much glamour on one little finger. The bracelets do add to the look--it is clear you are a woman who loves her pearls!

Thanks for sharing!

Anna

Love the bracelets and the ring together! I resisted the December special. Am holding out for other lovelies. But, it's hard, now that I've seen yours!

Thanks everybody for support!
In fact the ring by itself was less interesting than together with the bracelets. When I bought it (because it is a bit more challenging that what I saw before), I got an ironic giggle from my family (too excuberant for the Dutch taste). So I was almost sure it was a wrong choice.

But after the two bracelets arrived it was one unanimous 'O-o-oh!'

Here is the ring (it is so nicely heavy!):
