Show me your baroque pearl pendants!

[Sanippy]

I think that my next pearl purchase will be a baroque SS pearl pendant. There are a couple I'm eyeing off online but I would love to see some inspiration shots. Please share your pearl pendants and if possible a neck shot and dimensions for perspective (-and vendor if possible). I think that I want a SS pearl but please share your other baroque pearls as well if you love them. The more eye candy the better!!

14mm wSS from Pearl Paradise with a custom setting PP ordered in for me. Pictured with wSS studs also from PP.



I absolutely love my pendant!! The pearl has pink and aqua overtones and is stunning IRL. I wear it often! Looking forward to seeing what you choose.

Here is a pic of my pendants, clockwise from the top: a CFWP, a white SSP, and a Tahitian (it's a brooch as well as a pendant):

The coin is a 20p piece in the UK with a diameter of 21.4mm according to Royal Mint.

Beautiful pendants DK! I love that they are all different and the Tahitian can be worn as a brooch. Very versatile!

I first noticed this monster Tahitian with the neat ombre effect on the Kojima website. I happened to visit Sarah's studio in person shortly after, and this pearl was quickly put into the pile to come home with me. In person it has a rainbow luster on the surface that I find fascinating.



I took it to Stephen Vincent in Minneapolis for a designer touch. He suggested a round blue sheen moonstone top with red gold oozing down the sides.



I love moonstones and red gold, and with this pearl, it makes for a fun piece. I sometimes wear it paired with smaller pendants, because this baby looks good to me on a longer chain. I love watching the moonstone from above, and the "drips" of gold running down the sides. In the last photo I'm standing next to my mock orange bush, which is why you see green reflected on the pearl.

I also pulled out my book of Elizabeth Taylor jewels, photographed life size, and determined that the Peregrina is larger than my monster Tahitian.

Thank you, Katbran, GemGeek, and hanadama. I've known this designer for over 30 years, and I love it when I can bring in top materials and turn him loose.

Here is the original listing for this pearl on the Kojima web site.

Red I am so happy to see this pendant again. It is so unique. Loved it before and love it now. It is a show stopper.

The pendant with the moonstone is just unbelievable! How cool is that-- to be able to look down and see the moonstone there on top....

I am hoping to find big pearls for pendants like this when I visit HK in Nov 2015 if all goes according to plan.
