I love my baroques!

8.4-10.6mm/20 inch strand--had a couple inches added. I like this length. This size is perfect for me.

Um, I definitely have a pearl habit now.

Very happy. PP rocks yet again! (Thanks for the help Natalie!)

Those are beautiful on you! In your neck shot it's really obvious how these light up against your skin. Very good choice!

Could you tell us what pearls you photographed the strand with in your album? I could guess but it's more fun to hear about pearls from their proud owner.

These are a couple exotic fw strands I picked up at the gem show. PP strung them for me--they did a beautiful job!

One is multicolor, and the other is a coppery/gold/lavender.
The colors were hard to capture.

You're the reason I will never have a modeling pic on the forum. Nothing else could be so lovely.

Knotty--you are very kind to say that. I crop out my broad shoulders-I'm self conscious about that. I would love to see a modeled shot of the necklace you made. It's lively in the photo--I can only imagine how it will come to life on a body!
