Kamoka Intense Peacock Earrings

[Alex]

this is kind of an ?prequel? thread, as these are the pearls from Josh that set the scene for the creation of the Tahitian Dark Peacock set

they were bought from Jeremy in the summer of 2009, as an anniversary present for BV

they are 10.4 mm

she absolutely loved them (still does), and they became the ?top-pearls? in the pearl drawer (bossing all the other pearls about)

Intense is the word, Alex. Beauties. Absolute beauties. Lucky BV.

(bossing all the other pearls about)

Kamokas tend to do that

I see y ou have a white camera and the pix were taken in the last couple of cloudlessly blue sky'd days here!

 

[Alex]

Thanks Adeline, Karin and Wendy

here a some more taken in different light - it's amazing how the colour shifts with the light

 

[Alex]

here is a PP photo of the pearls - but I'm not sure they will work, as I can't seem to enlarge them

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Super well-matched pearls!

 

[Alex]

here a some more picis of the pearls - but they've been given a little bit of help this time.......
to colour-shift again

Alex
You do pick the most exquisite pearls! I am so glad you share them here!

Were you taking the pics in the courtyard of an Abbey? Wendy was spot on about your reflected images on the pearl, and I caught the Gothic (? Sorry for my ignorance if I'm wrong) arched windows.

If this is your home, I'm up for adoption, and affectionate and cheerful and love babies! Willing to relocate! Giggles

ohhh mother of......pearl! These are amazing! They seem to have green and aubergine overtones? The picture in white backgroud make them seem like they're metallic. Exquisite! Those would also be on my wish list :O)

 

[Lindaphillipsbong]

Haha Isabelle:
Oh sweet mother of pearl .... these are on my wish list too!
Linda.

 

[Alex]

Glad you like them

as Wendy says, the weather here is amazing right now, with great light, so I thought I would have another go..... (last time I took some pearls picis was in the winter, and the light was different then, even when the sun was out)

the colour has shifted again....... the flower is cream-white, with a little bit of yellow

 

[Isabelle35]

Great pics! Really like the idea of these pearls on that soft cream flower. Magnificent!

 

[Adeline Leigh]

Oh my, Alex, the white flower picture does take the cake. The colours of the kamokas are spectacular. Not you've got me wanting more, again!

 

[Alex]

last one.....

the pearls in action

 

[Adeline Leigh]

This one really made me just go "Ahhhh.."; the insane colours - magenta, mauve, chrome green to olive... no words needed (sigh).

 

[Lindaphillipsbong]

*Moan* ..... just gorgeous.

 

[Isabelle35]

Sigh, That is one really nice pearl! Great capture of the overtones.
