Wonderful photos! I always like fireballs drilled on the tail side. It reminds me so much of a comet, which I love.
Haha the last bronze edison strand from the 2nd edison batch just went and it was NOT me! sitting very hard on my hands...
I would think the drilling would need to be where the pearl hangs in the most balanced mode.
I was also thinking side drilled so it looked like a fish or a comet.
That was me. I usually lurk and ogle all the eye candy, which has been very bad for my wallet. One of these days I will post pictures of my modest collection. Anyway, I've been wanting a strand of deeply colored Edisons (among other things) for a while now, so I caved and got the last one. I also got a strand of the Vietnamese blues -- was sorry I missed the chance to get two matching ones to make a rope.

The bracelet I ordered during the pre-launch arrived today. I was so excited when I opened the box -- the pearls are a near match to the necklace I bought during the Tahitian sale. Screen shot of PP's photo of the bracelet during the pre-launch, and a photo I took on my front porch. The color is actually somewhere between the two photos. HOWEVER, the bracelet barely fits around my wrist and I would never be able to get it on and off, and when I called PP this afternoon, I was told that they measure from one end of the clasp to the other end of the clasp and don't take into consideration the length lost when the clasp is engaged. I thought maybe I could restring them onto an orbit clasp and gain another 15 or so mm, but when I looked again at the photo of the bracelet from PP, the one I was sent is 3 pearls shorter. I'm so disappointed, but I think it will just have to back since it isn't what I thought I was buying.
ParrotLady, I may be wrong, but could it be that they sent you the incorrect bracelet? I would call them and show them both photos for comparison.View attachment 63582View attachment 63583
