Tahitian blizzard projects

[Katbran]

You have been a busy little bee ! Love all the creations .. well done! I've been doing little besides hitting my fingers with a hammer making earrings...pearls are definitely less dangerous and not nearly so hard on my manicure as the silver work

 

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks ladies...and Kat, watch those fingers! I'd love to see some of your work.
Here's a neck shot...and yes I did buy the purple sweater to go with the amethysts!

I really would like to know, where you have purchased the blossom setting. I looked up Bella and Rio, but was not able to find it. Please, share with me where you purchased it. Thank you!

Copied from post #65: since you can also see my earrings, they are Tahitian drops set into the blossom finding from Pearl Paradise (I LOVE this setting!!!)

Katalin, the blossom setting is one designed by Pearl Paradise, and can be ordered from their site.

You are so creative Jersey! Everything you have made with that last batch of peacocks is amazing. Super talent in making beautiful pieces, really! But my absolute favorite is the "circles" necklace from the 80's or 90's. Wow what a piece! Would you be able to find the chain to make more of them?

 

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks Jac!

Yes I was glad to see it was back on the site .. it was gone for awhile.

Still my most favorite setting for Tahitian drops! We should have a thread devoted to the blossom...didn't someone here have it made into a pendant?

 

[Katbran]

I just ordered my first PP earring findings...having them sent to my sister as she's got a box of stuff ready to ship to me next week Got a blossom setting to give it a try ! Very exciting.

 

[KatalinPG]

Thank you! I'm going to have a look on their website!

 

[Jacques]

The blossom finding is the best!! That is also my favorite one from PP.

Amti (Helen) I forgot to add that your project came out so amazing as well! Those pastel Baroque Rounds are some of my favorite pearls right now. From a farm on the North side of Mangareva - the producers are such sweet and humble people!

 

[Jacques]

And Katbran - that "Bar" necklace is really cool and unique - I have never seen a design like that before!

 

[Katbran]

Jacques - Thanks very much..most kind of you to say. I have to admit I'm quite happy with it.

I'm looking forward to the Blossom setting..then I just need to find the right pair of pearls!

JerseyPearl! Love your new wire-wrapped strand! Will you be wearing your new knotted peacock strand together with this wire wrapped circle strand? I've actually been thinking about making a wire wrapped strand because Victoria Grayson has layered such combos in the past. But I just haven't gotten around to actually making a wire wrapped strand.

WOW, great styling of Tahitians! I can't wait to see you ladies wearing layers of wire-wrapped necklaces.

 

[JerseyPearl]

So technically these are still blizzard projects, since I ordered the findings during the storm...I wanted to put together something to wear with my circles necklace.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Sorry about the HUGE shot of my ugly ear...
The oval and circles are 14k yellow and white gold. The white gold wire and ear wire look a tad yellow compared to the white gold on the circle...I may have them rhodium dipped.

 

[CathyKeshi]

JerseyPearl, those are gorgeous Did you take the circles from the necklace, or order new ... just curious ?

 

[Katbran]

Great job ... They look great ! ....I've been making large hammered silver circles the past couple of days and thinking of earrings....must be something in the air !

 

[JerseyPearl]

Thanks!
Katbran, there is a harmony to the universe...would love to see what you're up to!
Cathy, nope, the circles were ordered from a catalog. They don't match exactly as the texture is slightly different. But I ordered both oval and circle in white and yellow gold. I wish I could find a chain like the necklace! If anyone has any leads, please do let me know!!!
