Madama pics (and some fun freshwaters)

[mrsz]

Hi everyone, A friend of mine asked me to send her comparison pics of my new PP madamas and my less new but still loved PP blue baroque akoyas. I thought I would share them here. I slipped a white hanadama strand in between to break up the color.

And since I started playing with pearls, I got some of my other strands out. They are a PP metallic fw rope just in today (thanks Jeremy for being patient with all my revisions), a near round pondslime strand and pondslime keshi strand from Kojima (thanks again Sarah!) and a coin pearl strand. Hope you enjoy the pics!

I am a sucker for keishi and pondslime. Combine the two and I am in love!

Thanks for sharing. They are all beautiful.

maryd,

All wonderful--now--the neck poses! Love the starfish! Ditto about keishi and pondslime! Can you please list pearl sizes also?

 

[GemGeek]

All fabulous! Love the starfish.

Don't you love the Madamas? When I saw them in person, I wished I could have them too. Rare beauties. How about a photo of the Madamas in a coil?

 

[mrsz]

Thanks! Neck shots will have to wait until I have someone to help me (I'm not that coordinated to do it myself unfortunately.) As for sizes, based on shoddy memory I'd say:

blue baroques - 8.5-9
hanadamas - 8.5-9
madamas - 7-7.5
fw mettalics - 8-8.5
pondslimes - 11 or 12??

The keshis are one of my favorites too. They are quite colorful.

Here is your madama coil shot GemGeek.

Super beautiful pearls!! I'm in love with the madama strand.

I also want to congratulate you on your beautiful pearls! Enjoy them!

 

[Heidi]

Those are amazing - all of them actually. The color of the madama pearls is really something. Wear them all in good health!

Wow, they are absolutely stunning! Enjoy!

What can I say my friend that I haven't said already!! They are all just gorgeous! How do you ever choose what to wear? Wait, I am almost in the same boat because you are the one who has enabled me when it comes to pearls!! Thanks for the new Obsession! There is just something about wearing something that was part of a living organism!!

I love the one with the starfish charm!

I too chose those pondslime keshis, and I find them a delight.
