This guy has the goods...

More light ... and more colors. :D Thank you for letting me share. They look better in real life. Re-sizing has really washed out the colors as well as the reflection of my hands and camera on the pearls.

Blinds were opened some more...Crest strip is there for color reference of the blue pearl. It got washed out from the light though.

WOW. I LOVE that. The bail is really interesting too. Can you change out the pendant on that?

Thanks. Yes, pendant can be changed out by slipping it out of the loop. I have a few pendants with just tiny jump ring to put them through the loop. I got it from either bellafindings.com or riogrande.com. There are two sizes. They can attach to pearl strands also with my interchangeable pendants.
 
They are really hard to photograph - you really have to see them in person and carry them from room to room and light to light. Great job! :)
 
Oh Cathy, Just beautiful! Job well done and so much nicer than the prototype. The movement and three dimensions of your design are just wonderful. Really nice pearls too :)

Cathy, beautiful design, beautiful pearls! What size are they?
Wear it in good health !!!
 
That is really a good start to your grapevine. It is beautiful and will hang nicely. It is stunning. Almost Tahitian-like pearls in their glory,
 
Gorgeous, Cathy - great use of beautiful pearls!! Can I ask for a neck shot please???
 
Thank you everyone. Nora, the smallest is 9.3mm wide by 11.7 high (third one from the bottom and is on left side). The largest on the right side is 10.3mm x 13.3mm.

They are hard to photograph without professional lighting. I can't capture the blue especially. I took more pictures earlier this morning and they were crappy. The sun is higher now and the photos Vincent took looked much better. Fortunately when I lean or move, they move but settle back to the grape cluster positions when I am upright again.

Those are amazing. Thank you for posting so many photos - even though I know the colors are difficult to capture, we can certainly get an idea of the magnificent range in those pearls. Very nice and dynamic design to show them off!
 
Thank you Cathy! They are amazing indeed.

I know what you mean now. I wore the pendant today. When we were outside in the full sunlight, Vincent was ooh and ahh...ing, especially at the blue pearl. When I got back inside the car, I took it off to look at it. Lo and behold, the pearl is purple at the front in full sun. At 45 degree angle, there is an outline of green in the back, running vertically. They are very shiny in full sun.
 
Wow Cathy! That is spectacular!!
Can't wait to see it in person at the ruckus.
 
They are wonderful, just what we love to feast our eyes upon! Well done, and they show up beautifully in your avatar.
 
Your pendant design and pearls are beautiful. The color of the pearls match well with your skin tone.
 
Love the neck shots! It's incredibly beautiful just as it is. :)
