Some amazing pearls at the Rijksmuseum

[la_corsetiere]

I was delighted to find that Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum has some amazing pearl jewelry in their collection. Being a huge fan of art nouveau and figurative pearl jewelry, here are some shots I took today. I'll start with art nouveau. If somebody feels inclined to fix the ones that are sideways, that would be lovely. Why does my iPad do this???

If someone knows how to fix the sideways photo syndrome, let me know...the photos all show up in the proper orientation on my iPad, but when I post, some (not all) of them mysteriously rotate...

Those pieces are amazing! I'm not sure how I feel about boob pearls, but I love everything else.

BWeaves, my attitude is "if ya got em, flaunt em"

 

[BWeaves]

True! They would definitely get everyone's attention. There's no ignoring the boob pearls.

Ohhhh, amazing! Thanks for sharing.

As for the photos, can you rotate them until they are straight again and save them in your iPad or computer? That seems to work for me.
