More pearls.....

[Sueki]

Agree with Gemgeek, you are indeed very talented.
And, if I had to choose, I'd say the black pearls and the shaded rope.
I've got a shaded rope here that's almost complete.
It's been ages putting it together....
But I really do love them all Ivona.

Beautiful blacks... and everything else...

Any chance hose re little air bubbles escaping from submerged Tahitian pearls in the first photo?

>>>>>I read somewhere here about making photos of pearls submerged in water - I did try to do it ...air bubbles are the proof....
How did you manage to gather the pearls for the color-graduated freshwater strand?
>>>two strands of mixed purples and so called "pinks" arranged differently - that's all - pearls from ebay-from""incompac" @ 30$ strand 9-10mm, very, very nice for the price...


The last gray necklace looks very interesting. How large are the pearls in it? (approx. since they are not symmetrical)

>>>> roundish ones 10-11mm

Is that a froggy puffing out his throat?

>>ha-ha-ha.... I had different thing in mind, but you would censor it if I would write it down.....

 

[imanit]

Oh, please tell me about the rings--did you make them yourself? Are those cast mountings? Are the pearls set on pegs?

so many pearls, so little time

>>> two purple biwas it's silver wire ( bigger one is mounted on ring base that I could glue pearl on. The "froggy" it's "druzy" pearls in silver mounting bought from Dottie's Rocks. It was freshly made yesterday, I still had to wait for glue to dry to be able to clean the ring from "spills" of it... The silver SS (12.4mm -button) - design that I based on what I saw somewhere here, set in 14k white gold with Tanzanite on the side. I had my jeweler do this one...

I love your earrings, especially the ones with coin pearls (9.jpg). >>> you have good eye. Those coins were very special. Color (natural) is hart stopping... Notice the oval pearl on one of them ( I had just one like that) - it's spectacular.. (6mm)

An amazing assortment of beautiful pearls...I can't decide between them all.
I LOVE the first ring and how the setting seems to embrace that fabulous pearl! I am new what kind of pearl would that be?

And the Vietnamese Akoyas necklace looks like sea foam made of pearls...spectacular on you.

Thank you for sharing them.

Thank you for the complement.
I use Canon PowerShot IS5. Manual settings ( I fiddle a lot with settings, but always in manual mode using little tripod (gorillapod-I love this thing !!), super macro mostly, daylight ( no direct sunlight). I don't Photoshop - still did not learn how....)

When Knotty showed her beautiful submission to TPO, my first reaction was "shoot, I thought that I invented detachable necklaces...". Obviously I didn't.... I want to show you how I wear my multiple purple strands:
components:


every strand finished with spring rings:


and this I what I do with it:

Ivona,

Very versatile use. Thank you for sharing.

 

[pattye]

Hi Ivona,

What creativity! And versatility! Lots of great looks possible, I especially love the frog broach. those big clip rings are similar to what I use to make a torsade out of long continuous ropes. THANK YOU for showing the neck shots too! Are the pearls fw? And purpley colors?

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

Hi Ivona,

Pattye

yes & yes.... those purple FW are my weakens. I always look for the darkest & shiniest - shapes are secondary. All those strands are made of pearls like that: 8-9mm potato, 6-7 almost round( 5 strands - those are the nicest with lots of blue & green in them), 8-9 oval ans 4-5 almost round.
Thanks for looking...
