Pearl Farm in the Sea of Cortez

Cool! Is there a photo of the "Eye of Sauron"?

Once more...in all these photos: Nothing is Artificial. Color & Luster are Natural. The pearls still smell fishy

All the individual pearls are from the same group depicted in the previous post.
Noticed the brown-orange pearl? In water the color is most striking...and the "True Blue"...it is ALIVE with colors!!!

Cool! Is there a photo of the "Eye of Sauron"?

I hope so. I placed it here on the forum last year...it was a huge (for our pearls) baroque pearl (14 mm) with an intense "fish-eye" effect but "warped" due to its shape.
Being a Tolkien fan...it just had to happen.

I LOVE that first one on the left!

Overall: this has been our best year ever. I miss finding some "hidden treasure" pearls such as last year's "Eye of Sauron"...but the pearls are rounder, larger and colorful. Not a bad year at all...

Alas, the "Eye of Sauron"---it was ALMOST within my grasp last year. If only Douglas had drunk a little more tequila and my wenching skills were a whole lot better.

This years larger and more colourful pearls look great!

Are you referring to this?

That pearl doesn?t look baroque to me.

 

[nlerner]

Neither to me but it is Sea of Cortez from 2007 with a "Fish-Eye".

 

[Mervione]

Search for "Eye of Sauron" and you?ll find the pearl he?s referring to.

Yikes,
It just gets better and better.
Fabulous pearls Douglas, oh, my, just fabulous.

and I love the "Drop-Dead-Gorgeous 10mm Drop shaped Rainbow Colored Pearl" from post 57.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

I did search for "eye of Sauron" but nothing came up....

It?s in that thread.

Douglas - simply stunning. I can no longer even say which colours I like best in your photos - I am just in complete awe!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thanks, Mervione

Gorgeous, stunning colors!

 

[Mervione]

You`re welcome! I think the pearl look great in it?s setting... I like how people give pearls names like that, (Eye of Sauron, Google Earth etc.) it?s truly a sign how unique they can be when people even give them names...

 

[GemGeek]

Be still my beating heart! They are soooo beautiful that it's hard to believe they are of this earth.

 

[Mervione]

Oh yeah, doesn?t someone here have an abalone pearl called La Panda? Off topic, sorry.

 

[Nerida]

Thanks for the reference back to the other postings - a complete visual treat! Boo, your cosmology photos are amazing! And here I was thinking about moonbows in respect to the Sea of Cortez pearls just this morning....
