Natural Chocolate Tahitians

Thank you Battah. The chain is a Victorian watch chain. I hooked a small antique pendant where one would hook the watch.

I love wearing watch chains as necklaces! I need a heavy gold one like that, it's gorgeous.

What an unusual strand! I wish I could see it in person.

Luvglitz, you inspired me to use a chocolate Tahitian keshi in a tin cup I made today...here's a close up of the "chocolate" keshi...kind of like a Hershey's kiss!

JerseyPearl your projects put me in awe. I love this new one using the keshi chocolate pearl. I am really itching to start some pearl projects especially tin cups of my own. My problem is no loose pearls to play with. I have been so busy buying ready made strands, I haven't bought any loose pearls. I have made a few tin cups using fw pearls. My loops are a little meh. I really want to do some things with Tahitians probably 12mm. Our Intergem show is in mid October, and I am going to look for gold findings and chains. I'll keep you posted.

They look fabulous with the black and leopard print!

Luvglitz, once you start making tin cups it really opens up an entirely new world. I love layering my necklaces, so my tin cups and strands usually come from single lots. Make sure you wear a strand of Tahitians to the show, that way you can match quality. I know battah was able to purchase some lovely Tahitians at a recent show, but you might also want to look at some of the vendors here. I think someone mentioned buying a small lot of pearls from Jeremy.
