Took My Breath Away.....

[Sueki]

These are from Kamoka Pearl.
I'm still trying to recover my senses enough to type coherently....
The pearls are 8mm. - 11mm., grade A and B.

Some more photos. with thanks to Mikeyy for the photography tips.

Amazingly beautiful,
are they the same I saw in London with you, or some more else since then?
Do you intend to make a long rope with?

 

[elisa]

oh my! they just glow! the colors! amazing.

 

[MistofCassiopeia]

You can actually see the photographer's reflection!

 

[boo]

Wow! Those are incredible - the colors, the luster, the whole deal. How do you tear your eyes away from them?!

 

[Mikeyy]

Hey you catch on quick. Those are sweet photos. Great colors.

 

[Sueki]

Anna,
I bought these with the intention of making one special necklace. But I can't take my eyes off them so am going to think about adding them to the pearls you saw in London and making one long rope - so's I can see the pearls when I'm wearing them....
But it'd be so extravagant.....

Boo,
Good to see you back...
No, I can't tear my eyes away from them at all. Been trying to string another necklace this afternoon and gotten nowhere as I keep looking at this strand.

Mikeyy,
Thanks for the tips - I used daylight bulbs but forgot the white cloth...
Will try again tomorrow and use the cloth to diffuse.

I am speechless... and envious... this is amazing! Just when I thought I developed the idea to like baroques more... not anymore...
Congratulations! What will is be? A rope?

And photos are extremely good!

All those sparkling, glistening, gleaming jewel tones are amazing! You WILL let us see the finished product, right?

Gorgeous Sueki (And Josh!). Makes me want to run out and get some more, even though I'm still working my way through the last batch. slobber, slobber

 

[GemGeek]

I'm very happy for you. Those pearls are going to brighten up those dreary winter days!

 

[Amrita]

Amazingly gorgeous, Sueki (and Josh!)! Thanks for the photos....they are really good. All the colors, the lustre and the orient are absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing, Susan! Hopefully, we will soon see new additions to your albums.....

 

[Nerida]

Sueki, those pearls are unbelievable!! I am trying to work out which of the 7 deadly sins I haven't committed just drooling over the photos.... I definitely have lust, envy, greed .... oh my, they are gorgeous. And Josh - great pearl growing there.
Mikeyy - you are making professional photographers of us all.

Thanks for all your comments.
Yes Knotty, I will definitely post photos. when I have a finished piece.
It'll be a while though as I want to make a longish necklace so's I can see them when wearing them....

Blaire,
O.K. I promise not to moan about the weather - when I feel a whinge coming on I'll just grab those pearls......my little orbs of sunshine on even the gloomiest days
(It'll be hard not to moan though, 'cos I'm British and moaning about the weather is our national pastime....)

Nerida, Amrita, waimeamomi, dkan, Pearly Shell, Olmander.....
Yes, thank you all, yes, amazing pearls, amazing oysters, amazing farming - the boy done good !!

It's so bad this morning the dog was quite eager to get back into the car after our walk in the hills this morning!

And the cat could not wait to rush back indoors!

Oh MY!! I just saw these--to die for. I could really get hooked on pearls like that! Did you purchase a lot of these and pick the most beautiful for this strand? Such colors! I definitely have some like these on my wish list!

 

[Ingykiz]

Beautiful! I guess I am going to have to give up my preference of size vs color for a strand like that (and I would!)
