Official membership application - but is this beading?

[Nerida]

No, it's not that bad - but I will get a girlfriend to take some photos this evening.

This is especially for Jerin! I am hoping that this qualifies a the "nicely strung strand"... I have used Sheri (la Corsetiere)'s method of doubling back through the strand to knot...

These are bead nucleated FW klonks - stacks of lustre, but klonk-ish nevertheless! 13.4 - 16.2mm!

Hi Nerida,

very well done, snug knots nestling to each pearl....
Are you sure they are bead nucleated? No tails and as they are baroque they truly could be 100% nacre - nice klonks with fine orient!

Hi Nerida,
Lovely knots, lovely pearls, gorgeous necklace. Thanks for the photo.

 

[Nerida]

Thank you for the kind words, everyone... here is the promised neck shot (and an avatar now! I feel official!)





Jerin, they are tissue nucleated - sorry for the mixup.
Gemgeek - "klonky" enough??

Ditto! Heavens! That neck shot clears up any confusion about being klonk-worthy, and they are luminuous. Also, you have a nice tanned neck which supplies the preferred contrast!

What Pattye said - FAB-U-LOUS!

Now Wilma Flintstone is getting competition I?d say. They are really huge and great orient too! 100% nacre - the very best you could get! Congratulations!

I love the great big klonkin' freshwaters! Nice job!

 

[boo]

Wow - those are great!

 

[Heidi]

Just stunning! Ditto everyone else on the gorgeous orient and luster and this looks beautiful on you.

 

[Caitlin]

Those are wonderful klonks and they give the lie to the saying that the bigger pearls have less luster. Some of them obviously do!

(Octavia, would you please get them for me?)
