My latest pearls

[Icyjade]

Bought the purple Edisons (or Mings or whatever?) from Hong Kong and the octobaby with a Kamoka pearl from Sheri (hubby thought the octobaby is cute too!).

I thought the clasp is quite interesting so I included a close up. The infinity symbol is removable but not an option for me since I've a fat neck.

The octobaby is cute, but oh my god am I jealous of your purple pearls- looks absolutely gorgeous around your neck

Icyjade -- your Edisons are just gorgeous around your neck. And Octobaby suits you very well!

Wear you new pieces in happiness and health!

Well I knew I should expect great things from you IcyJade and you did not disappoint !!! Those purple Edisons(or Mings) are fabulous ! They look gorgeous on you ! The clasp is interesting ... good way to get an extra inch or so and it's an attractive extender . Thanks so much for posting !

Beautiful, IcyJade! The purple Edisons look stunning on you, and I love that infinity extender/orbit style clasp!!!

Absolutely gorgeous, Icyjade! Wow, that purple is mesmerizing.

And the octobaby looks cute... and very lustrous!

Fabulous new acquisitions, Icy! The purple Edison necklace is stunning on you. Is that the one that PP brought back from HK? I like the infinity extender. Your octo baby is adorable.

That is one of the deepest purple strand I've seen. It looks great on you. The octo pendant is sweet too. Congratulations!

No, you do not have a fat neck. But yes, purple is a beautiful color on you.

As one klonk keeper to another, may I ask how large are those Edisons?

 

[ckrickett]

I'm in love with those purples!!!

I can hear Prince singing "Purple Rain" off in the distance...they are stunning. And your octo is fantastic! He looks so happy next to the purples.

I'm so glad to see that the octo baby made it to you safely -he does look happy hanging out with those luscious purples!

Very very beautiful, excellent choice IcyJade!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments! The strand was an impulsive buy... But I guess it's just a matter of time coz I've been lusting after a deep purple strand ever since I "saw" them online. I can't wear pastels so dark coloured Fwps makes me so happy.

It sounded like bead nuked fwp are common this year so I'm guessing that those who want one will be able to get them via the usual vendors soon. The store I went to had these in stock and told me that they got 5 strands of purples this time. I'm hoping that strands in more unique shades of bluish purple and green-blue as well as good quality whites will be available in the next couple of years/months. For now, mixed strands seem more common, some with really fabulous luster...

Stock at the store I visited in Hong Kong:

Is that the one that PP brought back from HK?

Nope, I bought the strand from Rio Pearl in Hong Kong.

As one klonk keeper to another, may I ask how large are those Edisons?

Hehe, as a klonk keeper I think these aren't very large at all. Just 11-13 mm.

Yes indeed. He was delivered when I was travelling but luckily a nice colleague helped to collect him and I popped by the office over the weekend to get him.

Think this octobaby likes precious pearlie things so he's feeling good and right at home. Hubby loves him too. (which is good coz he sponsored the adoption haha)
