My May 2015 purchase - vacation pearls

[Hanaleimom]

It's been a while since I posted. We came back from vacation last week. Each year I search for more unique colors, shapes or findings/designs. I have peacock, cherry and various vibrant green overtones already so I did not look for those. I passed and did not take second look at round pearls in those colors, unless the finding & pearl combinations are exceptional or different. What were available for sale are mostly round, semi-round or baroque pearls in those colors that I have in my collection already. It was fun selecting these pearls. Of course hubby has great eye and spotted the tricolor pearl before I did.

The tricolor pearl has strong pink with green halo at the bottom and silver at the top, 18kt, 10 mm. In sun light the pink is even more intense.

Anyone wants to guess where I got these?

This gecko has 5.1mm keshi with strong green overtone. 9kt.

Here is a fat bottom eggplant, 10 mm, 18kt. The pearl is a little dirty. I was in a rush to take pictures.

I also got a keshi pendant for my mom but gave it to her before I took pictures. This belly-drilled keshi is about 7-13mm with silver clasp. It is not well matched. Some of the smaller pearls are near the middle. But I can fix that when I have time to rearrange the pearls and use gold clasp. One shot with sunlight on one side.

Long time no see on PG indeed! *waves*

Of the three pendants, I like the eggplant the most.

As for where you got them, I do not have a clue. Hawaii perhaps?

They are all wonderful. I especially love the tri-color pearl. And the gecko is so cute -- he belongs on the critters thread, too.
