Finally sharing some of my pearls

[pkinnew]

bsomlo - I purchased the souffles from PP over a year ago at least. I will take some close up shots later this week for you! And I will try more neck shots too!

4RanchGirl - There are crickets in my pearl envelope!!!!

NacreLover - The tin cup pictures didn't turn out very good but I will try again this weekend. And I'm still working on earring shots!

Thanks to all of you for your patience & feedback!

Still admiring those jumbo Tahitians. What length is it?

 

[pkinnew]

It's 18" long and it actually does down farther than the photo (I had it pulled back a little to get it closer to my neck). I am definitely going to try it on with a white turtleneck to take a picture to see if I can really capture all of the colors better.

What an amazing collection you have! My favorites are the green Tahitian ring, the gold SS dangle earrings, white and gold SS strand.

I see. I thought it might have been 16" since it looked so short on. Do they have a green body color?

What's next on your list to acquire?

 

[pkinnew]

Yes they have a green body color! I don't know what my next pearl adventure will be but I am looking forward to seeing what PP has for a Valentine's Day sale!

Uh oh - I didn't need to know about the V-day sale.

SMC - Oh man - I was just 'wandering around The Pearl Source and saw a few strands I need to start saving for! Don't go there!

 

[pkinnew]

I only had time for a few shots so here they are. Quality this time was not so good but I'll continue to practice!

Tahitian and white SS tin cups - how do I fix the sideways thing?!?!

 

[pkinnew]

Tahitian and white metallic ropes knotted.

 

[Confection10]

Wonderful pearls again pkinnew . Love knot style . What are pearls on Your todays first photos, white plumps ?

You'll get photos to correct position by editing them a little smaller. I must edit all my shots taken by iPhone.

Tahitian and white SS tin cups - how do I fix the sideways thing?!?!

Lovely pearls! Especially the souffles!

The iphone photos are automatically oriented on PS so that the long side is horizontal. I enlargement mine for a close up, turning the phone on its side. Then the pic is horizontal and posts right way up.

 

[pkinnew]

Confection10 - Those are souffles from PP! Very plump indeed!

 

[Fly Girl]

Agree about the pictures. You should take the original photo with the camera held in landscape format (long side across) and not portrait format (long side up and down). Then they won't end up sideways.

 

[periwinklegirl]

Pkinnew, those beautiful soufflés are making my single one feel lonely!

 

[LitGeek]

Those souffles are just delicious They are definitely on my pearl wish list for this year! Dare I say I am moving them ahead of my round Tahitian strand

 

[pkinnew]

periwinklegirl - I love a single souffle pendant! I think I'd get more wear out of that than the strand but thanks!

LitGeek - I can't believe anything would move ahead of round Tahitians on your list! I hope PP gets more in stock for you!

 

[JaneSmith]

I am in love with your collection! So gorgeous!

 

[pkinnew]

Thanks JaneSmith! There are items left to be photographed but I just can't get it right and really capture their beauty!!

 

[pkinnew]

Thanks JaneSmith! I have more to photograph but I can't capture what I want yet!

 

[pkinnew]

I see some pearl fans out there take pix in their car (not while driving lol) so I played a little with my Tahitians and wanted to share these. They are definitely outside pearls!

 

[periwinklegirl]

Lovely!

I've also had good results holding a piece of white paper towel between a bright window and my pearls.

It's listing 151169058718 Designs-by-Turia-Tahitian-Pearl-Sterling-Silver-Bypass-Bangle-Bracelet (not my posting). I don't know how fair the price is (I didn't keep very good records then).

Your Tahitians look gorgeous in the natural light! So lustrous!

Thanks for thinking of me That was so thoughtful of you to post this! I am SO tempted by it, but am saving for my first multi-strand pearl necklace (among other things, haha). It is on my wish list now though!

Talk about a statement piece!

 

[pkinnew]

SMC - I loved her designs when she was on HSN. Some of her pieces were gorgeous! That's why I search for her sometimes on eBay.

 

[pkinnew]

I had to post this - Tahitians wearing an evergreen sweater!

 

[LitGeek]

Those are some large Tahitians! Lovely!!!
