Some of xeresana's pearls

[xeresana]

OK...let's see if this works. I'm a disaster these days.

Let's start with those untreated freshwaters Jeremy offered a while back. Here is my peach strand.

 

[xeresana]

And the lavender strand...

 

[xeresana]

Let's venture into some warmer waters, shall we?

Tahitian baroque strand. OK...after fussing with the camera, I have to say that I have NO idea how to photograph black pearls *and* get them to show their overtones. The Tahitians have peacock overtones. Really. You'll just have to take my word for it.

And from Carolyn. These are Cook Island keishis. I guess that's the same as Tahitian, right? Again...take my word on the overtones. They are really strong on this strand. You would never know it with my sad photography, though.

And earrings...also Cook Island keishi.

 

[xeresana]

And freshadamas, of course! One strand in white, one in lavender.

Who doesn't love a rope?

Some coins...

Carolyn threw this in as a little extra in my last order.

 

[xeresana]

Earrings! A girl needs options, right? Here are some earrings.

Freshadama

Sea of Cortez

SS keishi from Carolyn

Golden SS from Carolyn - by far my most worn pair of earrings.

I LOVE them with non-pearl pieces - like turquoise- which I apparently drain of all color when I photograph. It's part of my charm.

And let's see....what else?

Ah...the untreated akoyas. There are two strands and a pair of earrings in this mix.

Ooooh...and I missed this shot of the Cook Island keishis

Hi Xeresana
Thanks! That is a wonderful bunch of pearls. I like how dark the lavenders seem.

 

[xeresana]

Eeek..how could I forget these darlings??

Golden SS pearls - from a monthly special Jeremy did, I think last year.

Here are some freshwaters with AMAZING orient. Not that you could ever tell from my pictures.

And here's a mystery strand that I just really liked. I assume them to be dyed FW. I really like the colors on the strand.

 

[xeresana]

OK...I'll stop now. This is getting obscene. Those are pretty much my favorite pieces.

so many pearls, so little time

 

[Casey.R]

Oh my! I love your collection A little bit of everything.

 

[Casey.R]

Just wanted to add that I love all the different types of keishis.

 

[Sueki]

Mmmmm......
Fabulous collection, xeresana. Thanks for showing them. I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of fixing a couple of the pics.
Now you see the orient.....

If it's an impertinence, I'll remove the pics.

 

[xeresana]

Thanks! The corrected pictures look much nicer than mine! I love my pearlies. I wish I could take credit for them, but I just buy 'em. I have no hand in turning them into the lovely pieces of jewelry that they are.

 

[Bodecia]

Okay xeresana,

I really "need" your Tahitian Keshi, want your Tahitian Keishi. Love them. Can't live without them. Pea Green with jealousy.

Just love em.

What an absolutely stunning array of pearls. I honestly don't know which ones I would pick if I had to pick a favourite, they are all so beautiful, but I have a weakness for the Tahitian baroques.

 

[boo]

Wow - they are all so fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing (love the earrings!!)

 

[pernula]

Lovely pearls! I especially like the baroque pearls (both freshwater and Tahitian). The photographs are nice too!
