The designer's corner

All so lovely Ramona! Thanks for the great photos and hope you will feel like wearing them lots!!!
 
What a lovely pearls you have, Ramona! I love those lavenders in the first picture and the first-generation Kasumi. What a pity you do not wear them, they would attract quite some looks. But may be one day you would feel like it again.

Well, and if you ever decide to sell them, I am happy to start queueing right now :cool:
 
Seahorse Ring

Seahorse Ring

Here is a ring I designed and created for the Cheeca Lodge & Spa in the Keys (Florida Keys)
I have designed several new designs for Cheeca & Wyland Galleries and I'm looking for a supplier for 9-10 and up Tahitian Pearls.

Sorry for the bad photo, a photographer I'm not.

Two designs that I commissioned to be made from pearls I owed. I chose designs, mailed him pearls and after many weeks of painful back and forth through the email this is the result.
I don't have them yet.... Those are pictures made by the goldsmith who made them. Pearl for octopus is 16mm diameter, ring one is 12mm

I like a lot this fat bellied octopus. Ring with gold flames circling the very wrinkly pearl is also (I think) interesting.
 
Those are Chinese pearls. Should get them next week.

Dawn, I like your designs a lot! Between you and I we could make our own small ocean... LoL...

LoL.... No, I don't..........................but I have 3 daughters...

I told them that my pearl collection is going to one who will take care of my parrot.................. they all hate my parrot!!!!
 
Dawn, you are making exquisit designs. I absolutely loved that fan coral collection.
 
Ivona- that ring is so cool! WOW....... you have great pieces there...

Dawn- I checked out your facebook pages and really like your creations. esp the ocean reef designs.
 
Ramona, Dawn, Ivona, Sheryl - you all are much too creative! Swoon, you've made and designed such beautiful things.

I have taken a pause to let my bank acct. catch its breath but with spring here, I feel a surge of energy coming. I have a strand of rainbow irridescent kasumi style pearls on the way and my eye on some other strands to try making an endless rope (no idea how to do that yet!).
 
Wanna share some of recent work from the goldsmith I'm working with. I sketched the design on paper, explained the details, and he worked on it fairly quick.

This ring is kinda OTT, it's a request from my aunt. After making the design I was a bit afraid on how it would turn out, but my aunt was very happy with the result :)
12mm cream SSP, 18K gold, small diamonds, and semi-processed stones.

For this one, I had a bunch of keshi pearls lying around, so I designed this pendant. When it was finished, it turned out bigger than I expected so I asked the metal worker to add pin on the back. So now it's a pendant that double functions as brooch.
9 mixed color keshi SSP, palladium alloy (for cost-saving), and several small diamonds.
