Ok, here goes - I need to join Pearls Anonymous, because here is a small part of my collection. There were no touchups or enhancements to the photos. Top photo is new SofC pendant I put together last week. The tahitian strand I purchased in December from Pearl Oasis. The tahitian bracelets I made, the one with the yellow clasp is made from pearls collected from Ehret. And I added the tourmaline earrings that I made, just cause I like em. The white SS pearl I bought from John Tu at the Costa Mesa, Ca Gem Faire. He has the absolute best pearls. Since everyone has been discussing goldens lately, I added mine. And last, but not least, there is my SofC silvery pearls I set in sterling silver with metallic FW pink pearls. Oh, and I almost forgot, my 14.5mm tahitian with green overtones set in 18kWG. Well - it does feel better to get my pearly little secret out there. Do you think it will help me stop? Not a chance.
