Faceted Pearls

[LVLanghanke]

I agree that the faceted pearls -- when done well -- make for a beautiful focal. I like the strand as well, but I think that's a look that's harder to pull off.

I agree on the best use of these is either as a clasp , Daniels is gorgeous!! Or, as a focal pearl. A whole strand would be too much.

I agree...a clasp really is impressive. I am not too into faceted pearls, but there are some nice ones out there.

I think the strand would look nice with colored gemstone spacers but I think perhaps smooth rondels since the pearls are faceted

Speaking of facetted pearls, I would also highly recommand the amazing work of Moscow-based Ilgiz F. (Fazulzyanov). He is known also for his stunning enamel work.
He recently opened boutique in the center of Paris.
Great article from Katerina Perez about this russian artist here

So interesting, amazing enamel work. I quite enjoy the faceted pearls; i feel they often don't photograph well.

OMG, that ring is amazing. I'm afraid that if I saw it life size, it might be disappointing after seeing it blown up to the size of my computer screen.

Cumingi thanks for showing us that ring ... the enamelwork almost outshines the pearl ... incredible!

Thats another faceted pearl ring from Darrel Alexander (from Alexander's Jewelers, Gilbert, AZ).

Wow that first ring is truly remarkable ! The second one is pretty, I like the twist in the shank .. adds interest .

I love the faceted pearl clasp. It blends in well with a strand and makes a very neat focal point. It's really a brilliant idea. The rings are gorgeous too but they remind me too much of the Epcot Center dome.
