crickett - Those lavenders are amazing!

I'm wearing my natural white Hanadamas today and really don't like the pictures. But hey, some days are better than others!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Very pretty, and love that color on you as well!

kelluvpearls -- how lovely! Can we get some ear shots?

 

[JerseyPearl]

kelluvpearls, those are gorgeous! Love the soft color.

 

[pkinnew]

Gorgeous, lucious pearls! Ear shots please!

Today I'm wearing a Tahitian strand purchased from PP this last summer. It's a go-to strand with turtlenecks lately but they sure don't photograph very well (maybe I shouldn't blame the pearls lol!).

I beg to differ. Your photos show some spectacular pearls!

Edit: Whoa! Please bring them back. I liked those pearly white photos.

Mabe pearls and opal on silver

Mabe pearls and opal on silver

For months, I obsessed about this mabe pearl and opal necklace on Ebay, but I was afraid I wouldn't like it in real life. So when it went on sale last month, I decided to take the plunge.

I don't know if the mabe pearls are saltwater or freshwater, but the silver was crafted in Indonesia. Being in the 11mm range, it has a decent amount of shine and surface quality. The opals are 6x4mm have a surprising amount of fire, given that it's sold on Ebay.

WOW! What a fantastic and unique piece! How nice that you'd wanted it and it went on sale! I'd love more neck shots when you get a chance. In different lighting.

Congrats and wear in health!

 

[JerseyPearl]

That is a great necklace! And if the Oscars tell us anything about trends...statement pieces are in! Yours is gorgeous, wear it in good health always.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Cyndaco, that's spectacular! Do you know where the mabe' pearls are from, or the origin of the necklace?
Oh, sorry; went back and read again ... now that you have the necklace, what do you think about "saltwater versus freshwater" on the mabes?

 

[cyndayco]

CathyKeshi, the merchant says the mabe pearls are from saltwater oysters grown in Sulawesi, Indonesia. For opals, he used Australian doublets.

That mabe pearls are saltwater make sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese figure out how to grow mabe pearls in freshwater mussels.

 

[CathyKeshi]

It's very lovely, cyndayco ... it's so nice when an obsession becomes reality I'd say it's much prettier than the original photos look.

Oh, yeah. Here is the original photo.
