Freshwater can put South Sea in the shade

[LondonPearl]

Some new freshwater pearls that put some of my "fine" South Sea in the shade ..

 

[Pareltje]

Wow, those are mirror metallic. Gorgeous.

 

[LondonPearl]

They are also rather large - 14 to 17mm ...

 

[BWeaves]

Wowza! Those are amazing.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Those are stunning...what are you going to do with them?

 

[LondonPearl]

Don't really have an idea what I will do with them yet. I guess they will go to one of the many shows we do worldwide.

OH EM GEEEE they are STUNNING!!!!!!!!!! #want

Yum!

I just got some gorgeous metallic whites from the PP Christmas sale (the pendant is round too, it just looks off-round in this pic). They are 11 to 15mm or so. I plan to re-set the pendant pearl into a ring, encircled with tiny diamonds and colored stones, probably pink, in either a flowery or halo-ish setting.

So that's what I pictured with your beauties too, rings surrounded with little diamonds and other stones that match the pearl or overtone colors.

The middle pink pearl would look great surrounded by nice pink 10 point diamonds .... but it would be rather expensive ...

Mirror metallic pearls are always in favore!

I absolutely love that middle pink one! I really want such a pearl in ring , but I have no idea where to shop for one.

I'm sure if you asked someone going to the HK show they could keep an eye out for you !

I dream of owning a strand of pretties like that!

 

[LVLanghanke]

I'm going to have to do that. My fingers are yearning for a pretty ring!

 

[amti]

Pearls just keep getting prettier and prettier!

omg, LondonPearl, those are jaw droppingly beautiful!!!! If you don't mind my cheekiness, where did you get them from?

 

[LondonPearl]

We buy these in Mainland China. If I told you where, it would make life too easy for my customers and competitors!
