I'm back. Great job on the article Anna. My only feedback would be that the "5 S" system is South Sea Pearl specific. Not sure you specified that? "Shade" might be better translated as teint or ombre instead of couleur and would apply to pearls without a vast color palate like Tahitian pearls.
 
I also enjoyed your article, Anna (you're doing a great job of helping me practice my French!). And thanks for posting the photos for me! So very happy with the results...

Thanks for feedback.
Regarding the "5 S", I know it is SS chart, I said there is no universal chart but it could be useful to refer to this one which is IMHO is the best way to have an opinion on pearls for non experts.
Besides, I agree on shade, it does not refer to color "stricto sensu" but helps to figure out for non experts.
:cool:
 
Hello PG friends,
I though this thread started by Caitlin would be the best place to show you a little creation of my invention there :

Hope you like it.

BTW I will soon post the pieces that have been selected for a big french jewelry show, that will happen next spring at the Palais de Tokyo, nice place, have a preview at front photos of the palace

It is ameteorite of mines that has been selected but I also would like to show a new interchangeable ring - not launched yet - to show that the transforming jewel tradition is still alive.

All comments welcome.
 
Congratulations, Anna! And if anyone is scheduled to visit Paris this spring, looks like the dates of the show are May 29-June 3, 2013.

I am very happy to see your creations piling up in this thread. Sheri's booty is fantastic! I too love that star gem. The texture is so nice!
 
Rain of meteorites in Tcheliabinsk this friday. I am thinking of 1200 people who have been hurted.
Meteorites have been collected by humans from beginning of humanity.

So I think this is the day to post the one that will be exhibited in next may in the Paris contemporary jewelry exhibition.
I put the link to the whole collection for sale, as you can see 2 are highlighted with pearls, one with a black star sapphire and the selected one is set with an orange moonstone.
The 4 meteorites are recorded as found in 1947 in Russia, in Sikhote-Alin. Meteorites are naturally shaped by their journey through space.

The exhibition just took place last week and here is a photo report, I was so happy that 2 pieces were selected for such an exhibition of "only" 200 french jewelers.
Since 2 PG members had a meteorite I set, I thought it make sense that a meteorite was selected :) was it?
The other piece is an interchangeable ring that goes either with pearls or stones.

Wow! I am completely amazed by your work Ana. Your jewelry designs are so beautiful and versatile.
 
Thank you Douglas and Josh.

Oh my! Sheri both of your strands are absolutely GORGEOUS! Your tahitians with the mermaid is fantastic! Great job Ana :D
 
Hello PG friends, don't know where to put it so I put it here.
I am proud to share a great piece of news :
I am preparing a lecture on the story of clasps through ages, in the Museum of Arts Decoratifs in Paris on october 16th.
I have been wonderfully welcome by museum curators who entitled me to have a window opened for better understanding of a torc closure dated 1st C BC,
(not the one in photo att below, but ... this is one of my favorites)

Isn't fantastic ?

What is amazing is that this story has never been documented before, I started collecting (you know I do love collecting photos) since 2004,
sort it all out by period and style and I even found the FIRST interchangeable clasp of the whole story of jewellery ah ah !!! 1800 years old !
Even the curator did not know how this one worked.
I pointed out several beauties to curators they never paid attention before.

I am planning to make a book about (english-french of course), next year.

This lecture will take place in the Paris, within the design week event coupled with the "parcours du bijou" (could be "route of jewelry" or equivalent) in Paris,
it is a wonderful experience to have this opportunity to do so in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, could not imagine such when I started my interchangeable clasps adventure years ago ...
