I'm not buying anything - had to buy a new washing machine today, quite unexpectedly. It's a shame, I could have bought a large freshadama strand with that money... sigh...

Was... Sorry to hear that. Sadly, everyone must go sooner or later. Hope he was a great joy to you. My dog left me more than 10 years ago, and I still haven't had another dog... I didn't have time, didn't have the resources, but, most importantly, I think I didn't have enough courage. May be in...

[IMG] I hope it's ok to post pics here... if not, I apologise. This is a Tazi pup (with a Dachshund), and Tazi look very much like Saluki (picture courtesy of Kronversky Kennel, St. Petersburg, Russia). The whole series of pics from this first going out is here, if you would like to see them...

Looks like the forum is recovering? I wonder if it's doing that by itself, like a living being )) Well, these things do happen, and it's very upsetting, especially if you don't have a recent backup. We had our hosting crash a couple of months ago, and I have a fairly popular forum about dogs...

What a beautiful dog, is it a Saluki?

Your pictures made for TPO are amazing! I so much enjoyed them! You're very beautiful, may your beauty last for many years to come. You have the most charming smile and kind eyes. My mom said you reminded her of some Byblical beauty, being a timeless type ))

Sueki, what a beauty! Congratulations! Looks very much like Christmas tree decorations to me, with the same festive spirit and unreal shine! ))

Does anyone already own a multicolor freshadama necklace? I would love to see what colors are like in a 'casual' picture. I am very tempted to buy one, I know it's a great value, but somehow I don't want a necklace with a lot of contrast like whites and lavenders being in the same necklace. I...

la_corsetiere, what a fabulous necklace! Looks fantastic with your hair and skin colors. Enjoy it in good health!

Heidi, thank you, My mom adores her necklace and hardly ever takes it off. Now she thinks she doesn't want her akoya earrings anymore, so I will gladly buy freshies for her )) Admin, indeed I am very grateful to the members of this forum; every time I come here I learn something new and just...

Several weeks ago I received my order from Pearl Paradise - Freshadama 7-8 mm earrings for myself and AAA FW necklace for my mom. Both of us are absolutely happy! I want to thank Jeremy, Kirsten and Mia once again for providing these wonderful pearls to us. Nobody believes the necklace is FW...

Raisondetre, congratulations on your new pearls, they are beautiful! The colours are redolescent of autumn... harvest, fruits (plums maybe), the sun which still shines but doesn't burn...nice! And they must look wonderful on you.

olmander, the necklace is wonderful! It is amazing how the color changes, I bet you can toy with it for hours )) Pity I don't wear lavender and violet colors, so I don't think I will ever buy a lavender strand... if only to play with, not to wear. The bracelet is very nice and unusual, and it...

Looks stunning and has a lot of character. I can see the complete image before my eyes when looking at the choker - dress, hair, everything, even music from some old movie... fascinating!

I've also found two miniatures by Francois Clouet which you might like to see: Mary Queen of Scots Elizabeth of Austria Queen of France Fascinating, the pearls in Queen Mary's hair are so translucent. Also, I like the way her necklace is tied, and that the pearls are dark. The second one...

Yes, this one is beautiful, too - hard to believe it's same woman, right? Actually, Botticelli painted Simonetta a lot, but I couldn't find anything else with pearls... la_corsetiere, now, I wonder what the tassel thingie could be used for... didn't pay much attention to it... to shoo away...

...and another 'pearl portrait', which I remember since childhood - always liked it - a portrait of Eleonora of Toledo by Bronzino. I will only show a fragment of it, the whole portrait can be found here. (The previous picture is also from wiki). Aren't the pearls fabulous? To think that all of...

I wasn't quite sure if it's ok to post here, but didn't find a more suitable topic. I was looking at some paintings by Botticelli and saw this portrait of Simonetta Vespucci which I like. For the first time, I noticed how beautifully her hair was adorned with pearls.

Dear All, thank you for your kind words. Indeed, I now like my pearls much more than on the day they arrived. And, just as many of you forecasted, I just want more and more! Also, I entertain (and somewhat educate) myself by visiting jewelry shops, looking at their pearls, studying them for...

pattye, thank you very much! I like it so much, I only take it off to look at it and put back on again ) Of course, I already have plans to buy a necklace for my mother, and peacock black for myself, and earrings, and some baroques, and... need to work more :) Pearl_dreams, I, too, find these...
