Here is another one.

And here is a group one of my pendants - and wannabe pendants :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words! :)So, after more than a month in customs, my abalone pearl has finally arrived. I must admit that I am a bit disappointed...the color and luster are good, so is the shape, but there are very evident hairline cracks that were not shown in the pictures. I am a...

Thank you all for your nice words- I am trying to build a varied and well rounded collection, hoping I will feel less of a compulsion to buy new pearls once I do :rolleyes:

thanks, I was quite surprised by how good the luster is. I bought them in a small local shop that has interesting pearl jewellery (it's where I have both the hoops with the small fw pearls glued on them) but usually the pearl quality is not what you can see on this forum. But these gold peach...

Beautiful bracelets! I only have a Tahitian from Wen on etsy, I think the pearl quality is great for the price!
