I'm not exactly sure if this thread should go under Tahitian Pearls or the Lowly Beaders Club, but I recently bought a second-hand strand of heavily circled teal colored Tahitian pearls. In addition to the strand, there are 5 extra matching pearls. My thought was that it could be broken up into several smaller projects, like bracelets, and I could maybe keep one of them. Waaah! Now that I have it, I love it and want to keep it as a necklace all for myself. Am I alone here in buying pearls for projects or gifts and then being overcome by pearl greed and wanting to keep them?!
For the life of me, I can't capture the vivid teal overtones, but they are very apparent in person, which is the best thing about these pearls. The lovely person who sold them to me had a great true to life photo of them, so I'll show that along with my neckshot, which doesn't do them justice but shows the size. I still think it would make some awesome bracelets because of the fabulous little pearls you can't see too well along the sides and back. The ones in front aren't the best ones at all. But I can't help it. I just want to wear them ALL. Not good. Bad bluebirrrd.
