Anna (cliclasp) Tabakhova's design/creation

[CLICLASP]

Yes, Caitlin 's is the last one, then we exchanged pictured and photos nearly 5500 miles away and here you can see Caitlin's idea, and how conception was going on with several trials of pearls and presentations, what a fun indeed

 

[Caitlin]

I am saving up to get the two ginormous pearls I got from Sarah outfitted with the Cliclasp system.

Anna's designs are great, her workmanship is very fine. She has kamokas and she has a nice stash of some of the best Sea of Cortez keshi. She has kasumis and she also has non-pearl items and stones.

She was an absolute delight to work with and her presentation is just so Parisian. Now I have a unique, beautiful, and meaningful creation, one that can be worn a lot.
I love it!

I really hope more people will get a one of a kind piece from her.

What a truly unique pendant. I love the way the pearl conforms to the irregular surface of the meteorite.The pearl flashes color that is a great contrast to the "host".

 

[Nora]

After all the above, I just couldn't sleep until I had one of my own just like it.


I'm totally grateful to Anna for the effort, the encouragement, the work, and above all for the talent that went into this piece.

I love it.

Nora,

The contrast of textures and colors is amazing! No doubt you will get many compliments and questions! I just love it!! Anna, great artistry!

 

[CLICLASP]

Thank you so much again. This has really been a great fun choosing the meteorite and matching pearl among several; here is the story stelling.
First was Nora's choice

 

[CLICLASP]

It is a meteorite from "Campo del Cielo" original shape not recut.
Then Nora chose her Kamoka pearl among a selection of coffe, eggplant, blueish, deep black and finally a strong peacock one was selected.

 

[CLICLASP]

Then we fixed the draft together.
So that's the way to make a pendant being 2900 km far from each other!
See Nora' pearl on right photo gently put close the meteorite waiting to be set

 

[CLICLASP]

Besides the symbol of matching space and sea, I find that pearls and particularly circled pearls look wonderful set with that type of material : both are black, one shines, the other does not; one is rough, the other is round and soft... I enjoy contemplating them again and again ... Hope you do

 

[GemGeek]

Thanks for the wonderful photos. Great stuff!

 

[Nora]

Anna, great artistry!

Thank you Pattye! Anna has done a wonderful work connecting those two pieces.

 

[Caitlin]

Congratulations Nora and Anna! That is spectacular! I really enjoy wearing mine almost every day. I love the weight. It goes with everything!

 

[Nora]

I love the weight.

Yes, the weight...... 30 gr.

 

[Chameleon]

Love the mix of colors and texture! I wonder if you can wear it as a brooch as well, Nora?

[Nora]

Maria,
It is indeed the mix of colors and texture that makes it so unique.
It was designed as a pendant only. I think that it would be too heavy as a brooch and it would leave holes in the fabric.
Still, Anna is the one who can best answer your question.

 

[CLICLASP]

Thank you Nora, you made the perfect answer regarding the weight of the material ...

 

[Chameleon]

You are right, it is probably too heavy for wearing as a brooch. The "hiding" bail led me to question if it is wearable that way. I know why the bail is hiding though

Great idea and work mixing such opposite materials Anna!
And lucky both of you, Nora and Caitlin, to be owners of so unique jewelry pieces!

Maria

 

[Nora]

Maria, the "bail" is not hiding...... have another look
