Daniel,

All so very interesting, thank you so much for the photos! I find the large strange pearl quite fascinating, too.

 

[juliebeth]

love the abalone and conch pendants! and that large weird pearl is definitely strange. is that, like, growth rings one can see there? how fascinating! thank you for the pics!!

 

[dmj]

always busy so need to take some time and upload new pieces

here is something really old but for me really new!

antique silver, gold, diamonds, natural black and conch pearl necklace ! the center pearl is quite interesting i have mussel pearls button shape close to it but the color is more gray black then the blue black this one has, the conch is a little light prob by the age but has a nice flame. the diamonds in there are rough and only sliced or flat polished. quite a fun piece

 

[perlas]

Love the rings!

 

[la_corsetiere]

That necklace is lovely!

 

[newberry]

A very nice necklace. I could wear that one

 

[JerseyPearl]

Me too, newberry! I love the mix of metal colors with the pink and grey pearls. Very pretty.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Very beautiful necklace, DMJ ... I too would happily wear this one I especially love that center pearl!

 

[MSC]

Really pretty!

Here is something i don't make every day

Recently i had a really nice project, one of the larger ( 113ct ) New Zealand abalone pearls was sold to a NZ costumer who wanted the pearl made into a native style pendant. Because the style there could not be any shiny gold or anything like that so i used 18kt white gold wich was ruthenium plated to get the dark color and now gives the idea rope / hair was used for the bail.




Because its not your every day pendant i came up with a museum style display for the pearl as well so its a nice conversation piece to have in the house. The Display is made from new zealand greenstone ( jade ) silver and NZ fossilized wood.

I make museum style displays more often but this one was quite the job.

Beautiful and creative!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Daniel, this is incredible! That display is almost as fabulous as the pearl. Your talent is exceptional, and your use of materials...well, sublime.

 

[amti]

Wow! Way to blow me away! That's just awesome all around!

 

[CrazyMissy]

Now that is some wearable art piece! The stand was a really good idea!

 

[CathyKeshi]

What a remarkable piece of art, Daniel ... the display stand is perfect!

 

[Katbran]

Daniel - you are a wonder !! That Abalone pearl and stand are remarkable! You have such talent and imagination!

The little Conch necklace is very sweet !

 

[Pareltje]

I love the conch necklace. And the abalone pearl is spectacular!
