Yes. That is the look of a feline performance artist that specializes in artistic deconstruction. :)

That necklace just pops and looks terrific on you. I just happened on the email today and fell in love with that creme rose pendant, as well. I'm in good company. :)

The highest compliment I can give is "I wish they were mine!". Your wife will love wearing them. :)

Jeg, I love that you show a photo wearing the pearls and then a close up. The yellow and blue combinations do look super-summery and the keshi are scruptious!

The structure of horn abalone pearls makes them delicate and subject to degrading over time when worn. Their potential durability can be hard to evaluate. It's all about creating a setting that will protect your lovely pearl. Disadvantage is the cost. Advantage is hiding the parts that aren't as...

She definitely has style. I have been drooling over that first necklace for months. :)

Good for you! Those are magnificent and cute at the same time. :)

We definitely need a wrist shot. Great job! :)

You're a great friend and a good pearl detective! Terrific job.

I know I would love to see it. This is a great thread. :) I miss threads like this where we can share advice.

I just spent a while catching up on this fabulous thread. Your photos and comments made my day! :)

That is super-pretty! It's all about that wonderful color. :)

Your photographs are outstanding and the pearls look fabulous against your skin. They practically pop off my screen. :)

Double-takes a plenty! Still, Fred is magnificent!

Oh, Linda, I love the blue lace agate necklace and the moonstone pendant, which both turned out beautifully. :)

Stunning! You'll get a lot of wear out of that. :)

Ever since I bought my blue akoya baroque strand with the first Pearl Paradise offering in 2007, I have been in love with the blue color and stellar pink and aqua overtones. Since "quarantine nails" became my hobby, I have been on a quest to create a blue akoya nail. This photo I posted in...

Yes, absolutely stunning. Enjoy your ring and future marriage!
