SSP keshi from Cees!

[Sanippy]

A small parcel of SSP keshi from Cees arrived today! I chose a smaller pair for studs and 5 larger for a tin cup bracelet.

These are my first foray into the world of SSP

Sanippy, congratulations on the new obsession! I recently became a fan of SSP keshis - brought four pearls from Japan, but haven't decided what to do with them yet.. what are your plans for the tahitians?))

 

[GemGeek]

I just love the SS tin cup and earring pearls - great choices! And yes, what will you do with the Tahitian pearls?

 

[jeg]

Really nice, Sanippy! I am excited to see what you do with them-

 

[Pareltje]

Congratulations on your new purchase, Sanippy. You got wonderful keshis!

 

[asurazzy]

Oouuuuuuuuuuu niiceeeee!!!! He got the best pearls!

 

[Jwymark]

Those pearls are gorgeous. Make sure you post pictures of what you make with them. I can't wait to see.

 

[BWeaves]

Those are very pretty.

Gorrrgeous, Sanippy! Beautiful choices. I can't wait to see what you make! SSP are so addictive - I resisted for a while but eventually succumbed, as we all must

Lovely pearls. Cees never fails in his standards. And his prices are reasonable. His jeweller's workmanship is also excellent. I have a ring from him to prove that.

 

[Sanippy]

Thank you all!

Laguna & GemGeek, no plans for the Ts at yet. I purchased them on a whim as the colours caught me eye!

Eileen, I think your new ring deserves its own thread with lots and lots of photos. It is sensational.

I plan on making a white gold tin cup bracelet with the mixed SSP keshi. These are my favourites:

Really inspiring keshi!

 

[Katbran]

Gorgeous ... beautiful colours

 

[JerseyPearl]

Nice! Cees has such an incredible eye.

Beautiful keshis. Can't wait to see what you do with them!

 

[Sanippy]

Thanks pattye, Katbran, JP and kalmen!

I’m not convinced the GSSP complement my skin tone but I love them, the overtones are mesmerising! It will be a while before I get around to making the bracelet but I’ll definitely share photos when I do.

 

[Katbran]

I'm with you Sanippy - I can't wear GSS really...but if you mix them with the WSS they will be fine. I find that GSS earrings are fine and WSS / GSS mixed are fine...it's the all Gold that doesn't seem to look great.

I'm sure you'll make something great !

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the lovely keshi, and I can't wait to see your finished project.

 

[PixieMoon]

Such beautiful pearls! Can’t wait to see them mounted too! The lustre is incredible

Look at that shine! I was trying to purchase some gss keshi from Cees and the ones I kept picking out were gone... hmmmm.... I think you're going to have a stunning bracelet!
