Natural Abalone Pearl For the Beaders

[New Zealand Natural Pearl]

Hi There,
Havnt been on the forum for a while have been busy
down under. Our Natural Pearls are now collected
all over the world for either jewellery or pearl collections.
Looking forward to Hubert Bari's book PEARLS: The General Catalogue.
This book will add excitement to the forum.
We thought we would share this for the Beaders.
A 14ct spacer with 7 natural abalone pearls.

Tiny, but sooooo cute! It's another great example of how to make the most of small pearls. Thanks for posting the photos.

Oh how dainty and delicate and adorable and artsy!! I love them. I want a bunch. Ooh interspersing gorgeous, shimmery, Silver Tahitian pearls! Yes!

That is a brilliant idea! Are you going to make more than one?

While I am at it, I've had these other thoughts. I would like a bracelet of drilled itsy bitsy abalone pearls 1mm or less. Have you ever done that?

Do you ever use those teeny-tiny abalone pearls? I have about a teaspoon of those, but no drill.

What kind of drill could be used? Who could do it?

Scale that up a bit and you have a very pretty ring?

I had exactly the same thought .

The pearls are so sweet! The spacer with some black stones would defenetely make the pearl colors pop. Just lovely!
