New Ripple Pearls at Pearls of Joy

[katbran]

Love the deep shades and shine on those new ones!

It's always amazed me how pearls can go from slightly uniform and a bit bland in colour to deep contrasts depending on the time of day. I think the biggest disappointment most people have when first dipping their toes in the pearly waters..is when they buy Multi coloured strands. The beauty shots make the colours look so dark and distinct and then they arrive and initially can seem a bit ho hum . But later, in the right light, those colours come out again.

Of course most round multi colours don't have the sort of POP and deep shades that your ripples do ! But I'm looking across the room at a little pile of them and they seem so colourful...if I bring them over to the window in the hard light..they go 'soft' and muted.

Pearls and light .. a never ending story.

So here is the rope in complete dark with only the computer monitor's light:



DH says everybody thinks these are totally fakes due to their size, color, length and luster. I laugh and say, "Good! All the better!"

More neck/ear shots in natural light another day.

Couldn't help myself. A couple of shots with the rope doubled before getting into nightie to watch a movie -- pure dark except for make-up mirror light:

The rope is amazing! I am loving the colored ripples.

I picked up a white strand from the ripple lot at POJ. Going to have to wait a while for it to arrive where I live though. I hate waiting!

I got my white ripples! Love'em but they are heavy. Still thinking about the heft. The size is just right though . Some quick shots with cell.

baby monster - Your white ripples are large and beautiful! Definitely a statement strand. I understand your concern about their weight but hopefully you'll get used to it!

Those pearls are stunning! I especially love how they look with the black dress. Very chic and classy.

 

[baby monster]

Thanks Confection and ltlmsmfft

 

[mrs taylor]

How are you feeling about them? Are you getting used to the weight?

 

[baby monster]

I've only worn them a couple of times. Jury is still out.

 

[mrs taylor]

Keep us posted.

 

[bsomlo]

The ripples on my rope are gorgeous (round, lustrous, metallic with enchanting colors), but I found them too heavy. Luckily, they found a loving home with a pearl sister, so they will remain in my life. Bittersweet.

I'm the lucky gal who has bsomlo's POJ ripples. I'm delighted with these, but do wish they had been more comfortable for you bsomlo!

Here is a picture I took of them today.

 

[baby monster]

I'm not ready to give up mine just yet

 

[bsomlo]

Baby Nurse. OMG -- they look like foil-wrapped Easter eggs around your neck. Well done! I am happy I can still enjoy seeing them. Wear them in very good health!!!
