[Cees]

Found these 2 South Sea button pearls of around 17 mm and that to do with them? White has a pinkish overtone.

Tried to make better pics but the camera remains visible in the pearls because of the luster.

Those are really pretty! I think earrings (yes unmatched!) would be really great...I would set the yellow with white stones, and the white with yellow stones.

Lapel pins ?
I like JP's idea ... you could also mismatch the gold - two identical earring styles with the yellow pearl and halo of white diamonds/sapphires in yellow gold and the white pearl with yellow diamonds/ sapphires in white gold ... Mismatched earrings are big now.

Pendants on the two ends of a lariat style necklace.

I thought about that but then wasn't sure about just how flat the 'button' side is.. if it's not too flat that would be an excellent idea. I'm looking for a large black and white combo for that idea.

These are VERY beautiful, Cees! I favor the lariat idea, with ombre yellow sapphire and diamond accents

Cuff links?

If the button side is too flat, bezel setting them might work.

I like the idea of a lariat...or maybe as the end caps for a collar necklace? Those are really popular right now...something like this but using 14k and these pearls: http://www.frontrowshop.com/product/pearl-collar

With fine pearls that have reflective luster like these, do you know how to get the camera to not show in the pearls, Cees?

 

[Katbran]

I think we all need to learn that one ! lol

 

[Cees]

tell us Jac, thanks

 

[Jacques]

Cees, I have no idea! I was asking. There is a way, as I see it in some pictures. But I don't think we will get those who know to divulge, or am I wrong?

Perhaps the key is multiple light sources when photographing?

 

[Katbran]

Darn Jac..I thought you knew ! I found this on Photography web site.


To reduce reflections of the environment on the object we are photographing, we need to replace them with reflections from the light source. To do this, we need to know where to place the light.

We work out this positioning by placing the light at the same angle and position as the camera but on the ‘opposite side,’ like a mirror image. In the example, I set the lights at the same angle as the camera [45 degrees and pointing down] but on the opposite side."

I will try Katbran, but I use a tent and the sunshine here in Bangkok which is intense
