At least in my environment, I hardly ever seen fine jewellery brooches being worn. I'd love to see this change!

Oh, yeah, totally wearable! What kind of mabe do you guys think this is? SoC would be an obvious choice. I've seen Japanese freshwaters online that look similar...

Posting some eye-candy that I found on the internets here: I think this would be my most favorite brooch of all times! Mabe Pearl, Tourmaline, Picture Agate, Gold Pendant-Brooch, circa 1970 .... if only I could recreate this one day!

Very pretty! I was thinking cornflower blue sapphire or tanzanite or benitoite beads and rose or yellow gold immediately.

Oh.my.goodness! these earrings are breathtaking!

Oh, yes, I'd go for the darker ones also. Lovely colour. Can we call it seafoam? :)

WOW! Simply adorned and Suchi, those pieces are amazing! Are those sapphires on your earrings Suchi? Can we see a picture of them being worn? <3

Thanks everyone! I've got them directly from the JHunter team (unfortunately I do not know which farm they where harvested at exactly). They had the prettiest keshis ever available! Wearing each side: It's fun because I am currently trying to decide which gold (white, yellow, red)...

Hi guys! I'm very excited to show off my freshest gemstone&pearl project. Fijian keshis and tourmalines. Sand and Sea. The components:

Love your idea! I would not be able to wear such heavy earrings with comfort I guess ... I cannot wait to see them come into reality. Dreaming up jewellery is the best!

Thanks guys! Unfortunately the jeweller I've asked so far thinks the pearls are too skinny to drill vertically.... I'll need to dream up some more ideas.

My first natural pearls landed! I am completely smitten by these little guys (from Ringcraft Moana). The "hardest" part is that they have such a perfect nacre coverage all around and I initially wanted to have them half-drilled and bezel-set. Now I am wondering if I could do another design...

Thank you so much, you guys are the best!

BWeaves, I absolutely adore your Tahitian and opal earrings, these earring fittings are just the best. I saw them being called Herradura in the Sea of Cortez shop - how your you guys call them? They never show up in my searches ("horseshoe earring .." nope).

Love your collage! How cool would it be to have this in high quality printed out as a poster!?

Like so! <3

Nngyue, sorry my post was misleading. I didn't buy those earrings ... I'm just hoping to see the finished pieces ;) I agree that your gorgeous SoC looks fantastic with the SSP. Personally I'd probably look for a cool-toned green-blue-violet gem to accompany it, fluorite colours? Fancy parti...

I cannot wait to see these earrings! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgt9ucwAc95/?taken-by=the_last_pearl Oh, Lugana, just magnificent!

I did that, thank you!

Dear all, could I please get your input about drilling natural abalone pearls. Do you do it? Do you prefer to sand/roughen small pearls (say 3-5mm) and glue them only or put them into some kind of cage/bezel setting? I have two small loose undrilled pearls on the way and I am both scared to give...
