New beader and pearl obssesionista in town... needing your help :-)

Funny you should mention Druzydesign, Charlotta! I just got some new pearls from her and they have truly lovely colors - one is a special golden pistaccio color that I used as a floating necklace and I put the others to my updated “tahitian love” necklace - the original one was too baroque and not so harmonious to my eyes so I collected new drop& oval shapes and now I am quite happy with it...

[BWeaves]

OOOOO, I like those.

[Charlotta]

That floating pearl is really something special, so pretty. And the necklace looks great as well.

[amti]

Beautiful colors! How did you get the chain through the hole?

[Incik Boncuk]

Wow, that is a really lovely strand!

[jesskat]

The colors on that strand are truly special!

[Lilpearl]

Eiolian, that’s a beautiful strand and the floating pearls Wow, what a gorgeous color!!

[SydK]

Just lovely - I like the shapes in this version. And that floating pearl has real Wow factor.

Thank you ladies, I am quite happy with this strand, still a few colors I would like to add though :-)

The floating pearl chain is my latest discovery, a dainty chain with a pin at one end and silicone gold beads that makes it very easy to pass throug 1,2 mm pearl hole...Julia from Oceans Rhyme on Etsy has some in her shop and there is also an European Etsy shop that has it, just search for : 18K Gold Pin-end Dainty Necklace for Floating Pearl Pendant /Adjustable/ on Etsy. Here is Julia’s picture of the chain. I find it very useful you can add different pearls to the chain and change the design of the necklace ...just need to have the pearls drilled to 1,2mm....

Such a clever chain. Did you add eyelets to the pearl as well? I have a non-removable floating pearl that doesn't have that, but I have seen others that do.

[Rianne]

Eiolian, wow! The long strand! Love the colours you use! I'll keep this one in my mind when i order at Wen. You orserd a few items to make the strand. You have a good eye for this!

[amti]

What a cool idea on the chain! Thanks for the info!

And here I was thinking I was safe from these...but an assignment from my Godmother to find her really dark pearls to make earrings had me coming over to the dark side...:-) I got these 11m beauties from Jac exactly a year ago but then waited forever for the earring findings to come and at the end spent the whole year with these in my stash...falling in love...coming to understand the “mystery” of black pearls...I am a convert now and even bought some darker pearls to my Tahitian Love necklace which was originally supposed to be more of a pastel thing... I am absolutely happy with the result, and may have bought. apair of darker pearl studs for me as well...(still waiting for me at my friends house is the USA)...

Well, today I am saying goodbye to the earrings, having really hard time to let them go but good news is that my Godmother is smitten as well and I get to see them again from time to time...So I made a bunch of goodbye photos with some of my latest pieces that I have already posted on “Show us your pearls” thread. Hope you’ll enjoy them!

EH,
Oh, so lovely! You definitely have a great pearl "eye!"

[eolian pearls]

Thank you Pattye! My pearl “eye” is definitely a wandering thing :-)
