some new pretties

[juliebeth]

yep, as you may have heard, PearlParadise has been running luscious sales basically nonstop since August. i took advantage of these a couple of times (a few times too many for the comfort of my bank account, but still). thought i'd share.

first up, my pride and joy, the love of my life, second only to my son, my husband, possibly edging out the dogs and cat (sorry chip, otter, and philip), it's VERONICA (oh ghod, i named her, kill me now) my wobbly bumply lovely blue-green with amazing rainbow overtones tahitian necklace.

PP glamour shots first:




and here she is in all her glory!

(holy wrinkles, batman, sorry those are so gigantic and MAGNIFIED! lookit the pearls, just the pearls!)

and some closeups of those amazing pearls, check out the wobblies, the imperfections, the indecisive oysters who changed directions a few times on at least 3 or 4 of these pearls...

(oh wait, this note is for r4g, Cynde, this pic, you can see the st. petersburg cathedral turrets pearl - right before the ball part of the clasp, and also the northern lights on many of the pearls, but esp the fat round with the "cap" that happens to be touching that same part of the clasp. LOVE that pearl!)

St. Basil's (i think it is named) for reference:

Posts 5 and 7 - I can't get the photos to show. You need to do them again. I especially love the photos on the glass tabletop. (If that is what it is!) Gorgeous.

Yes 5&7 don't show .

So happy for you ! What a bunch of fun shapes ... In the third post ...love the "Acorn" shape ! He's a perfect fat acorn ! And the little ' onion domes ' .. They look wonderful on you !!

Juliebeth, Your strand is all I love most: colorful, baroque, funky and full of character! You look terrific in it!

 

[JerseyPearl]

LOVE!! Gorgeous strand

Juliebeth, Veronica looks magnificent on you! I love the color, luster and size of those pearls. (BTW, I also love the name "Veronica." I associate it with cool glamour, like Veronica Lake. It was my original first choice for DD2's name, but DH and I were not crazy about each other's first choices and we had the same second choice.)

 

[Bailey1856]

It's a beaut! Dark, colourful, and lustrous. I should start naming my strands too LOL

 

[jshepherd]

I remember that strand! I think I even mentioned those mis-directed pearls in the description!

 

[theseventhsphinx]

LOL, yes, I am thinking the same thing now! My pearls need names!

So gorgeous. I really like the hints of violet here.

Your Tahitians are stunning! Wow!
