The fabric I used is non woven fabric, very eco friendly. Great for letting the light through but not so easy to secure its position with white masking tape.. My light source is an old desk lamp with an energy saving lamp 20 watt cold white, which gives a similar light output to a 100w...

I would like to share how I finally mastered the task of taking good pictures of pearl jewellery!!

Using a cool white/ daylight lamp placed on top of the whole construct I am now...

Thank you for the great feedback! I think it is a nice way without drilling or gluing the pearls!

Hello everybody, I would just like to show you a new pearl setting design. Both rings are handcrafted and the pearls are set tight without the slight chance of turning. The golden south sea pearls is 8mm on 9ct yellow gold and the smaller version contains a 5.5mm south sea pearl.

Love this pendant, just a pity that our abalone is too big to wear that way;)Thank you for taking a picture of the back as well, I will keep the setting in the back of my head for the next time we set a larger piece of shell!

Beautiful pearls!! The dark colours are just adorable, I am trying to find him online as we are offering jewellery classes soon where we will work mainly with pearls. Why is New Zealand just so far away from everybody??:(
