What color is this

[waimeamomi]

This is one of the funny "roaming" Tahitians that I got. I should have taken pics before I started fooling around with the wire, but oh well. These were taken at the very end of the day in just after sunset light. I can try more tomorrow, but I might as well start things up. What color would you call this? It's kind of a bronzy brown, but I'm thinking it's close to a natural "chocolate" as much as I dislike what that implies. The wire wrapping looks better in person and not so close, all though I may redo it now that I've seen the pictures. The stone is andalusite. Regular colored Tahitians for comparison. This one also has a funny wrinkly skin. The last pic shows it with the whole strand, but I was wearing a red shirt (why do I do that when shooting), and it picked that up. The first 2 show the color more accurately because I angle away from the pearl with my shirt.

Looks like you're having entirely too much fun as these pearls pass through your hands!

Too much fun? No way. Pass through my hands, yes sadly so, although we'll see about this one. I'm not sure I trust the wire work to survive. I may wear it for a while as an experiment (only an experiment, honestly hubbie! heh heh heh)

Sheryl don't forget your "marketing and advertising" budget - works for me every time!

That roaming tahitian sure looks great with the Andalusite! I do like your wire wrap, it really brings out the color in the pearl.

Very nice! I would probably call it bronze, but that comes from a Crayola crayon perspective and not an "official" pearl perspective. The andalusite looks lovely with it - the piece has quite an autumnal feel.
