Thanks everyone for your replies, and I?ll remember that if you post a "Happy birthday" on someone else?s thread you?ll get a pearl... I?ve had tons of fun with the findings today too, and luckily I found a bead and jewelry supply shop
close to me, in walking distance, so I dragged my boyfriend there and it was so fun, I was like a 5-year old in a candy shop. Then I went home and made a bracelet-chain out out of jump rings (Is that the wrong way to do it?) and I?m going to add some nice beads I bought to it using headpins and I also made a pair of earrings that I think turned out well but I?m probably overly proud, I think they are good since I?m so new to it though. Added tons of pics. Oh, and I also got the other exotics today that I ordered a while ago, bought the 6-7 rounds and the four loose pearls... They?re really nice and sadly I didn?t take very good pictures because I was too busy. Like other people here have pointed out they are more lustrous but the colours aren?t as intense as the ovals, I like them both equally much though.
This is the picture of the four loose pearls, I especially like the lavender one. I had two of them drilled but couldn?t get myself to ask for drilling the lavender one and the one next to it. Just thought the lavender one was so nice that I wanted it as it was.
This is a picture where you can see some of the ovals, the rounds and the bracelet I got for my birthday as well as two pearls I bought in that bead shop. I think they are much nicer IRL, at least when you can turn the left pearl so you can?t see that huge flaw. They seem very orienty to me.
A picture where you can get a better look on the two necklaces and the bracelet, I think the colours in all strands comes out really nicely in this picture. You can also see the four loose pearls. I thought it looked a little like they took a walk on the necklace.
Another picture, in another angle.
A close up of the round exotics. The colours comes out well, I especially like the pink ones next to the clasp and the three dark-blueish-purpleish (?) ones you can see.
A nice close up of the bracelet, complete with a catfood can in the background. I really like this bracelet.
Another close up. I like this because it?s so detailed and sharp, you can even see the structure in my jeans. The colours look really different from the other close up. Funny how pearls can change.
Pictures of the earrings... Made of glassbeads and the top one is plastic.
The chain with a heartlocket that I happen to really like. Give me constructive criticism please. I think I need it.
That?s all pictures I got right now.
A huge thanks to Jeremy and Mia for making the necklaces for me.
