My exotics

[Kelly]

My PP metallics in cooler tones, and my metallic keshi's. I love exotics...

Kelly,
What a fabulous collection you have! And you didn't even make us beg for the neck shot! This last gorgeous keshi necklace looks like Catherine Cardellini's work! The luster on keshi is amazing!

You are so right my eagle-eyed friend. It is Cathy's for certain. All the way from Australia to Canada in the dead of winter...they came so cold and so beautiful. These are a bit warmer in colors than my PP metallics...my test is do they go with blue jeans. My Mum always despaired of me ever growing up and graduating on from jeans, but alas, it is not to be...

Beautiful. What size are the exotics?

 

[Kelly]

Oh dear, it has been a whole year now...the smallest size they have...is that 6.5-7mm? I believe so. My neck is long (giraffe in former life) and so I was worried that the larger ones might not suit me. Now I sometimes wonder if these are too small, but they do work at times as long as you are not looking for stun factor. They go very well with the t-shirt look I find. The bracelet looks great (I should have shown this) with leather bracelets additionally. The delicacy of the pearls against the leather...

Very nice, Kelly-- and they don't look too small on you at all!

And, if after a while you still think they're too small, remember that pearls can be added to your existing strand. PP sells them by the inch. Imagine lengthening and adding some more POP with a few more inches of larger pearls. I love this pearl world!

The exotics look great on you. I tried the same necklace, but had to return them. They looked awful on me, both in terms of color and size. I think you gave the key word "giraffe neck". That was the missing part. I would have needed a double strand or better big south sea cloncks. The Keshis are wonderful, too. I like organic forms.

Those are really beautiful!!!! I just ordered a metallic necklace from Pearl Paradise, and I can't wait to get it! After seeing yours, I am even more impatient!!!!

 

[Kelly]

I think you will be very pleased. That moment when you first open the box...

This is definitely a "both/and" situation! The ones you have look great, but a gal's gotta have several sizes and lengths and colors. You are on your way!
