Every day pearls

[Conny Forsberg]

Here are a couple of shots of my and and my wifes every day pearls. They have been worn more or less for five years.
The funky yellow tone in wifes twin baroque SS is not nearly as pronounced in real life. Sorry about the dust on my tahitian.
The twin baroque is about 13.5 x 20.0 mm. The tahitian is about 13.5 x 18 mm. No top of the line stuff but they got "personality" which, in my opinion, is lacking in most perfect cultured pearls.

Also got to show the Eqivoque shaped one... Gives a completely different meaning to pearl sac.

I like the drilling on the Tahitian - risky, but it paid off with a unique and beautiful result! The pearl itself is quite nice too.

LOL! Manly pearl!

Conny, Your pearls definitely have personality plus, and are no doubt great conversation starters!

Indeed, I read this while eating lunch at my desk and almost inhaled a piece of spinach!

And I will apologize right up front for posting this...kind of reminds me of the Seinfeld "shrinkage" episode...

I drilled from opposite sides not to risk anything. Also started with a 1 mm drill bit and increased with half mm increments until reaching about 3 mm.

Here comes a couple of other objects. First is wifes SS earrings about 13.5 mm
Next is a nice golden 13 mm undrilled. Shape is not perfect round it measures 13x14 mm with a bump.

Sigh. Lovely, lovely! Thank you for sharing these! What are you thinking of doing with the GSS?

 

[Conny Forsberg]

Well BAS not decided anything yet. Eventually it will go into a piece of jewelry I'm sure.

 

[pkinnew]

Oooooh - gorgeous!

Do post a photo of the GSS when you finish it off .. pretty colour !

And all you naughty little monkies out there...I'd like to go on record to say I thought the WSS looked like an elephant ...

 

[ckrickett]

these are great, and that GSS is stunning! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
