Big Honking Pearls

[Katbran]

Excellent idea Kay!! I like using those cups as it's a nice finish to the pearls..as long as you have a round bit to fit in there

Beautiful strands! Are freshwaters that large bead nucleated?

 

[Katbran]

I'd be surprised if they weren't

I also got one of the Edison strands. It is 11.7mm to 16.1mm. I can't wait to see this one in person.

KaySD looking forward to seeing your tin cup, and everyone else's giant strands as well.

 

[GemGeek]

These are too fun. I am really looking forward to photos, especially against skin!

I resisted the baroque Eddison strands, much as I love to have a Wilma Flintstone necklace as some of you may know.

However, I have come to realise in the past couple of years that I wear pendants a lot more than necklaces, and am saving up for some very nice and big pearls for pendants.

Thanks for all you suggestions regarding the clasp. I'm still thinking but will update once the strands are in. Will be a while tho.

Congratulations to everyone on their GORGEOUS strands! And Kay, I adore that orbit with the cups. That seems like a wonderful option.

Anyone else got the giants? Was hoping more folks on the forums got it so that we get to see them again...

Did the 17mm biggie go to someone here?

I bought one of "the giants" !

It's 11.5-15.8mm, ivory with strong pink overtones.


Some pics with a pink sweater and a salmon sweater.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Very pretty! I love how the pinks pick up the pearl overtones.

 

[Tucs]

Wow BN, they are truly humongous! They have a nice luster and look great on you. Can't wait to get mine.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Wow! They look great and are just the right length to look really fantastic. Can we call you Wilma now?

 

[baby nurse]

Thanks for the kind words!

Haha! Yes call me Wilma

 

[kalmen22]

Wilma.... you look fabulous!

 

[Icyjade]

Bn, they look stunning on you!

 

[lmgarden]

Baby Nurse, you look lovely in your 'big honking' pearls!! Truly beautiful.

 

[Purranha]

Wow BN they are so lustrous! Beautiful! Haha now you will have to take an updated "family shot" of all your white pearls!
Curious how the color & luster level looks like against the Edison, Baroque Akoya, Sheri Screamer, etc etc etc.
So BN if/when you are bored please indulge us and take some updated family shots!

And I can't wait to see the other strands!
