Sea of Cortez Mabes!

I have to comment again, because these are so wonderful...the play of colors between the pearls, the diamond and the gold are really lovely.

Thanks so much, everyone! This set is very special to me. I can't post neck and ear shots because I'm waiting for the earrings to be shipped (I left them in LA -- grrr!).

In the meanwhile -- let me share pictures of the back of the pendant because it just blows me away. Substantial rose gold and beautiful in and of itself:

The backs are really pretty. John's attention to detail is impressive!

Holy Carp! I'm usually not a mabe fan, mainly because I'm not wild about the settings, but those are gorgeous. Perfect complements.

Oh my, the most beautiful mabes in the whole world in gorgeous settings! Congratulations, BAS! Kudos to John, too!

Gorgeous pieces, BAS. I love, love, love the SoC mabe pearls, and yours are exquisite. Please enjoy the wearing of them.

I love pictures of the back. It is like peeking at something private. I have a Pinterest board filled with images of fittings, the back of pieces, the insides, etc, called Jewelry **** - you know, the poses and angles we don't usually see.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Wow, how did I miss this second set of photos? That is a fantastic construction.

It is a stunning set, BAS! The deep, jewel-tone oil slick colors of the mabes are mesmerizing. The green diamonds and rose gold complement the pearls beautifully. You must bring this set to the Ruckus (pretty please).

Such beautiful, refined work, and the combination of rose gold and gems with the mabes gives a timeless, classic look. Absolutely stunning.

I was wondering what the back looks like, thanks for the photo BAS.

 

[SunSeeker]

These are beautiful, BAS! John outdid himself!

 

[BAS]

Please indulge me in some more photos now that I have the earrings with me, too -- taken today in dimming Northern light.

What a stunning set! These colors look amazing on you, and I love the play of the green stone and rose gold. Just delicious.
I should add that it looks like something you might find in a Christies Magnificent Jewels auction!

 

[BAS]

Thank you so much! I am absolutely smitten. And you can not see the amazing and vivid play of shifting color as one moves about in the light. These mabes are just magnificent and John's setting design feels fit for a Queen, quite literally.

 

[Sea Urchin]

Oh my. Barbara, that is truly stunning.

Wonderful, mesmerizing colours and combination of metal and stones, but also the proportions are perfect, it sits very well on you. Enjoy in good health!
