Beautiful, Jersey! How I wish I were in your extended family these days ;-)

The dark metal makes those pearls POP!

 

[CathyKeshi]

I love the dark metal contrast with the beautiful pearls

 

[Jacques]

Yes, I love that darker metal too! Well done Sarah!

Thanks everyone! I am not usually a dark metal person, but there is something about the black rhodium plating that goes so well with Tahitians. This was my daughter's selection...she selected the pearls, their placement (didn't want them all pointing the same direction) and the chain. The jeweler then assembled the piece with white gold wire which was also rhodium plated. This is for her 18th birthday (in Sept).

Oh my, the dark metal with Tahitians is just outstanding. Thank you for showing the finished piece. I've been waiting for it

I would not have thought it, but that darkened metal is a wonderful foil for the Tahitians. It makes their colors stand out vividly.

Oh, your daughter is lovely in her new necklace! Blackened chain with pearls and gems is a fav of mine!

Just lovely. May she wear it in health for many, many years to come!!!

Don't mean to step on your thread but I didn't want to start a new one for this one off post on dark metals and pearls Forgive me for butting in lol I love the black metal with the Tahitians as well...I've darkened this sterling to a blue green that matches Jacques pearls for a rustic look..the chain is the same colour as the pearls. Colour doesn't come out in photos but it's an iridescent green/blue.

You'll probably recall from the other thread that grossed you out LOL that I am a huge fan of dark metals and pearls! These are awesome pics!

Katbran, I LOVE your creation! More photos only add to inspire new pieces, so please do keep them coming!!

 

[lary007]

Oooh..colors are even more fantastic-looking in the newer pics!

 

[Katbran]

Thank you guys very much..very kind of you all! .. .I just wish I could catch the colour on the chain..I'm so pleased with it. And of course Jacques' little pearls are so pretty. (tho these don't hold a candle to the gorgeous drop Peacocks on that fabulous tin cup !)

Plus keep in mind you can always subtly hint (remind her) that she can have the pearls restyled into jewelry more her taste while keeping some in all their BAS glory!

Cathy -- yes, I absolutely had that in mind and she is just a young foolish 18 year old now. She has many decades ahead to come to her senses and enjoy my pearls!!!

Jersey -- please, please post neck shots for us to enjoy!!! A young neck and beautiful pearls are a match made in heaven.
