Pearls from Mexico

[bluidragon]

Have we seen Cortez black pearls? I may have missed it but can someone show some pictures?

Bluidragon, I'll post some pics later of my Sea of Cortez pearls.

I had an email this morning from some sale strands. Included was an astonishing Sea of Cortez strand:

 

[JerseyPearl]

I suppose I could mortgage the house...and sell the car...

That is an incredible strand of pearls!

I don't have a strand, but collect the pearls and mabe.

 

[Purranha]

OH EMM GGGEEE!!! Jaw fell to the floor. Yes, a mortgage would be required for that beautiful strand!

I'm totally envious of Pattye's SoC strands!!!

 

[JerseyPearl]

lilliefuzzysocks, your SoC pearls are just delightful!

We saw this strand at Kojima Pearls earlier this year. It's spectacular. Sarah modeling the strand.... http://shop.kojimapearl.com/products/sea-of-cortez-pearls-national-grade-necklace

I think I may need a jumbo mortgage.

Magnificent Sea Of Cortez ladies! Here's my example: Sea of Cortez keshi pearls, diamond beads ... pearls by Douglas at Cortez Pearls, design and execution by Sarah of Kojima Pearl Company.

Oh Cathy, I don't recall seeing that piece before...it is spectacular!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oh, Thank You, JerseyPearl! It's been floating around on PG for a while now; might even be a thread on it? It is indeed one of my very favorite pieces. Those keshi are really tiny, the biggest round center pearl is maybe around 9mm +/-. In my opinion, all credit for brilliance goes to Douglas for producing the pearl babies, and for Sarah for the genius execution!

 

[JerseyPearl]

It is just gorgeous...I know you are shy about neck shots, but I would love to see one!

 

[CathyKeshi]

JerseyPearl, it looks far better on the bust than on me LOL ... better preserves the illusion of a fairy queen's necklace. It is a great example though, that a pearl's size is not dependent on a tape measure, but rather on it's overall impact! Anyone can wear tiny pearls

 

[JerseyPearl]

If you ever get tired of it...can I be on a waiting list? Just beautiful, and I bet you feel like royalty when you wear it!

Cathy and LFS, thanks so much for posting the photos of your fabulous Sea of Cortez treasures. My day went sideways and photos didn't happen. Perhaps tomorrow.
