Sea of Cortez Pearl Strands - Photos

[Hanaleimom]

just absolutely gorgeous, Cathy! Can we see a neck shot please?

Nerida,
I can't capture the colors well on my skin. Some shots the pearls are so washed out or too dark. Vincent took some pictures and he said they didn't turn out as true to life colors. The strand is in front of me as I type and it has soft pink, silver, green and blue. These are my best shots. Thanks for letting me share. 21" long.

Back to US Open.

Wow! It was lovely when I took it to the Pearl Ruckus...but Cathy: you have re-made it into perfection, and the additional use of the enhancer just makes it a stunning piece of jewelry. I simply LOVE IT!

Wow! You look Sizzlin'! Gorgeous job. I bet you look gorgeous in it, too.

I know it's traditional to post only neck shots (I think for the most part it's a marketing tool, and sensible), but I think we'd love to see a whole head shot. I know I would. I recognize that some are camera shy, and that's ok, too.

Yeah, why is that? (only neck shots) I took some photos of myself today wearing my new Tahitian strand and considered putting my face in but decided against it. Then I thought "gee, I'd sure like to see what some of these neat people look like!" I don't think I'll be one of the ones who ever go to a pearl "get together" so I'll never see anyone in person.......

I NEED a Sea of Cortez pearl necklace. NEED IT. They are just beyond BEYOND...... Someday when I sell my apartment perhaps I shall treat myself......

Hi Lisa
People used not to want their faces up on the net and that was a common feeling, here too. HOWEVER Facebook is interactive with Pearl-Guide, if you go change something in your sign up. I think you get to choose to be interactive with facebook or not. I am on my way to see if I can connect to Facebook, since my identity is common to both.

Jeremy is going to make a PEARL-GUIDE Facebook page!!!!! I guess I am the first to know! We'll probably all be signing up tomorrow!!!!This is going to make a huge change in Pearl-Guide, sign ups I think!!!!!. Get ready for the flood.

Hi Caitlin!

Also celebrities wouldn't necessarily want to deal with the extra attention, I suppose.

Will a FB page mean abandoning this site? I really don't understand a lot of e-communications.

Sorry, Cathy, didn't mean to press.

I don't think Facebook is interactive with this site yet. We are working to put together a Facebook page, but I don't see it being much different than our Twitter feed. It will just be a way for people that spend a lot of time on Facebook to have new posts and threads in their feed. Members will still have to come here to talk about pearls.

Good, it is just the perfect update/upgrade for a living forum

 

[lisa c]

I think you have to have a pretty good cell ph & plan for things like twittering, right? Do most people have to pay per tweet? Lots to learn.

 

[Caitlin]

Lisa you can tweet from your computer. It's just that people do use all that other stuff.
Was I in the labyrinth? I thought I saw the "facebook interactive?" question recently as a signup option? P-G can do the "likes" and stuff on P-G, if it is Facebook interactive.
Maybe next year? nah. In the next couple of days.....

 

[Nora]

Maybe next year? nah. In the next couple of days.....

We are already there.........

And it seems I forgot to post the photos of "Tia", this year's BEST pearl strand, made with 49 Gem grade Cortez Pearls obtained from the 2009, 2010 and 2011 pearl harvests.

I finally noticed my blunder, hence to correct it...here comes "Tia". She presently resides in Western Australia: first one of our pearl necklaces to reside in that beautiful country.

Darker, lavished with deep purples...a unique pearl necklace. Hope you enjoy it

 

[CLICLASP]

Enjoy? you mean drive us mad !!

 

[Caitlin]

OMG That IS the prettiest one, yet!!!!!! More pix. I wanna see each pearl, closeup!

 

[pattye]

Extreme fabulousness, as always, Doublas!!!!

 

[Alex]

Hi Douglas - yes, I was wondering about Tia, as you had mentioned her in your previous posts...

and now we are all speachless - again

but, first loves and all that - I am still in love with Boehme (sigh......)

do you have any pictures of Balandra, Maria, or Isabella

as Balandra is 'Mexican' like Boehme, I am hoping she will help take the pain away (double-sigh......)

 

[Nora]

Tia? La "Tia Querida" I assume. Well done Douglas!

 

[waimeamomi]

Yikes! Yikes! Yikes! Yikes! Douglas!!!!!

 

[Adeline Leigh]

Completely swoonworthy - breaks my heart. May you produce many many more pearls like that, Douglas.

"Tia" may indeed be considered to be an "Aunt" or "Dear Auntie" but the owner of the necklace went further back to the original "Tia" which means "Princess" (hence we have the "Tiara" or "Princess Crown").

Unfortunately, we have very few photos of the fist necklaces and they are not very good ones...in those days digital cameras had 640x400 pixel resolution (Half a Megapixel!) and we did not have a good camera. But let me see what I can find.
