CPAA Las Vegas Pearl Display

[GemGeek]

I took some photos through the glass display cabinets so you could see some of the things on display by the Cultured Pearl Association of America. Normally there is a little brochure so you can see who lent each piece, but I didn't see one and the young gal there was on her cell phone for the full duration. I hate to not be able to give people credit, so if you recognize anything, please chime in. Also, there was a display of items all donated for a silent auction and a few of them are mixed in.

This amazing camel was on a revolving stand. It looks like it could be an A&Z creation.


Is this a Dolce collection piece?


Matching bracelet.


This pendant and chain were just perfect!


I wouldn't mind owning this colorful piece...

Blaire,

Nicely done! Those akoyas look absolutely translucent, as does the torsade of tiny pearls--------all amazing pieces! That baroque pendant is just my style, but of course, not my budget!

Thanks soooo much!

Thanks for thinking of us!

thanks for posting the photos!

I was there, and can tell y'all the pearls were amazing.

I found prices to be down since Tucson, particularly the goldens.

Guess I didn't win the item I bid on!

I looked at the auction, too. The one I wanted was already bid way over anything I could afford. <sigh>

I'm glad I could share something. The last shot with the tiny pearls looks kind of mysterious - looming out of the shadows.

I wonder how many pearls in the seed pearl piece?

 

[GemGeek]

It was very long and very fat. I couldn't even begin to guess...

 

[pearlescence]

how much to re-string it?

I feel queasy just contemplating the idea!
