Baroque Jewelmer Golden SSP from Cees

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks, newberry!

Here is the closeup of the harpoon clasp. It feels very secure and is easy to operate:
Push together to close. It clicks shut.
To open, it's not really pulling apart but rather applying a pinching or squeezing pressure with thumb and index finger where the two end pearls meet. This presses them apart without stressing the stringing material.

Happy Happy Milestone Birthday in advance and enjoy every minute of your new birthday beauties.
They look wonderful on you!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thank you, Happy Huku-- I will!

Pearl Dreams, that is the perfect golden strand for you! they are just killer on your neck! excellent way to celebrate your birthday. And, happy birthday!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks juliebeth! I have to admit I'm feeling less negative about the prospect of turning 60 with this strand to soften the blow.

 

[Icyjade]

They look fabulous on you! Happy 60th!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Happy Birthday! Those pearls are fabulous!

 

[KaySD]

Happy Birthday to our latest Golden Girl! Your new strand looks lovely on you.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thank you JerseyPearl, IcyJade and KaySD!!

I wore them today and loved how the gold stood out against a dark shirt.

This is the clasp when closed; very inconspicuous.

That strand is absolutely gorgeous, Pearl Dreams! I think that we would all love to see some more pictures

 

[Pearl Dreams]

I'll come back and take some more photos after shoveling the snow we got from yesterday's storm!

 

[JerseyPearl]

I second that call!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Having cleared away our 12" of snow (not complaining; many areas got much more) I caught a few photos in the fading afternoon light.

I'm still trying to decide whether to make studs or dangles with the 10-11mm loose pearls. There are advantages and disadvantages either way.

 

[JerseyPearl]

I am really loving this setting with a round pearl: Of course for a golden, you'd probably want to use yellow gold instead of white gold, although I do like white and gold together! Your pearls appear to have a subtle pink to them, so maybe even rose gold would be a good choice.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

How does that clasp, JerseyPearl? Can you show me a sideways view of the earring?

Because my left piercing is about .5mm higher than my right, some findings are too tight for the left ear. I have PP's leverback findings with my Freshadamas but I will have to pass them along to my daughter (who has my Freshadama strand) as they pinch my left ear.

 

[JerseyPearl]

The post measures at about 6.5 mm and sits into the hoop

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thank you for that!

I have a fairly long lobe (too many heavy earrings in the 70's and 80's) and these are comfortable to wear. I am also a lover of Lobe Wonder with any and all large earrings.

Pearl Dreams, you may have already tried this ... but mentioning just in case ... on those leverbacks that are too tight, a good jeweler has a little tool and can usually adjust the tightness of most leverbacks either way, looser or tighter. It can work miracles, and did for me on a pair of sapphire hoops that were too tight, and much tighter in one ear. I had no idea they could be adjusted ...

JP, I love those. Simple but very elegant. Where from?
