Hi everybody,
I wanted to show you what I was able to do till now with pearls I got.
Findings are silver for Akoya studs and for pendants and vermeil from Bella for Kasumi pearls earrings. Pendants have peridot in-between ...


I love my new pearls !!!
Thank you again !!

 

[Caitlin]

Thank you Ivona for sharing photos of your matchless pearls!

 

[imanit]

Thanks Caitlin for your opinion. I found it interesting.

I wanted to show my gratitude to those who donated the pearls and I truly enjoyed making those earrings and pendants out of pearls donated by Sarah and Pattye. I also intend to wear them proudly.
You are very perceptive. Those pearls do not match perfectly, but I find that they look nice hanging on two sides of head.
In my opinion perfection is sometimes boring.....

I like the ear wires the best as well...very graceful.

Mee too But those high carat would look gracefull also!

You Kasumi look lovely in those findings Ivona!

Ivona,

You've been busy! Fabulous creations! Those drop earrings are to die for! And I love the Tahitians with the peridot. ALL the pearls were donated by lovely, generous Sarah, just the Oregon Sunstone was from me~

 

[Caitlin]

LOL!
I was not thinking that literally! But that ALL your pearls are a matchless collection, or any one piece is. Of course they don't match, they are pearls

 

[KarinK]

That's lovely, Ivona! I have done very little with mine yet... I've gifted a dear friend with some of the FW keshis, played with the large hole Tahitians for a fun bracelet and put the two huge Kasumis on temporary vermeil hooks. I do need to air my camera... I think the third Kasumi has the makings of a ring - but that won't happen from this side of the Atlantic. It'll have to wait until this summers visit to the US.

Karin- definitely last Kasumi is for a ring - I have to find a right setting..Pink gold maybe.... Hmmmmmmm
Caitlin- glad to hear that I misunderstood your remarque....I couldn't understand why you didn't like those pearls from Sarah... you don't have to like how I set them - this is very individual, but pearls themselves are lovely.......
Pattye - Sunstone is waiting for me to get the right spacers and right idea....I have to be careful how I'll use it... I treasure the strand a lot !!
Isabelle - high carat gold would be the best choice of the setting for those Kasumi... I have to start saving money....LoL...

 

[Caitlin]

Just to be sure you got the message, You are a fabulous designer and your pearls are to die for. They are matchess!

 

[GemGeek]

Thanks for sharing your lovelies! The drops are "drop dead" gorgeous on you!

 

[Adeline Leigh]

Agree! Sexy shaped drop pearls!

 

[imanit]

Pattye................Thank you again!!

Pattye................Thank you again!!

Here it is: finally I made the necklace with Oregon sunstone from Pattye.
I used two big nucleated metallic baroque pearls that I DRILLED MYSELF(!!... LoL...), one yellowish, one lilac/purple, 6mm metalllic FW and gold filled metal. I'm very happy with the result!

As usual, your creativity generates an elegant yet fun piece. I don't know how you do it, but you do! (delighted applause!)

 

[Marianne]

I echo, elegant!!! Super use of the sunstones

 

[pattye]

Sublime, Ivona!!!! You made my day! So fabulous on you! How great you can drill now!!

 

[Adeline Leigh]

Oh these are truly lovely and graceful. I love the swish and the swing

 

[Caitlin]

Very creative- another matchless design. sorry you don't think I am a fan- because I am. Your designs have just gotten better over the years.

 

[imanit]

Thank you all... I love your comments (of course).. LoL...

Took me rather long to come up with the design because I was under the stress of not disappointing Pattye by wasting such a lovely gift on a "boring necklace". I knew that one day idea will pop up. It did on Saturday.....

I love the way those roundels catch light and reflect it. I was not able to show it on my pictures. I'm not a good photographer. I wish I had Alex close by to ask him to do the justice to this strand...
