I've been working on photography with my intern and we played around with different perspectives and color ranges. I thought I would share some eye candy for fun.

And here is the strand I've been slowly working on for myself. The clasp will be a pave pink sapphire clasp... something a bit different. It will match the earrings shown in the pictures. These pearls have all been matched up and purchased very slowly over time and are slightly off round (my personal preference) to button. The largest is just over 18mm. I still need a few more before I can string it.

These are so so so sooooooooooo gorgeous Japster!! :love::love::love: I LOVE pave pink sapphires with white SS pearls. Do these have a pink overcast?

Thank you for sharing the pics, you're so good to us!!

Thanks! I couldn't afford to buy myself my own strand from inventory so I've just slowly been buying a few pieces or pulling pearls out of lots sent to me if they matched up. I still have a short ways to go until it reaches full strand but it's finally close. Yes it has a slight pink overtone though I think it was reflecting my Rose Shocking wallet in some of the pics. LOL.

BTW, The balls on the earrings are part of a snapfix system and can be interchanged with other pave diamond, gemstone or simple gold balls. They have the same system for strands but it's really $$$
 
They are well worth the wait. I will get mine one day (hopefully soon and hopefully from you my dear!)

And you need a bag in RS or Fuchsia (ostrich, lizard, croc!)
 
Japster, wow those are totally gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing them, and with pink sapphires as well - stunning!! :faint:

I hope to get a strand one day too (and hopefully from you if I can afford it) :love: Now I'll contend with my platinum SSP strand which I finally got strung up...
 
just when I think I'm out...Japster PULLS ME BACK IN!!!!!

Argh. Just argh.

Prettiest. Ever. I now want one of the orange clasps. love all of them though.

You are totally trying to kill me, E. And you will so rock those SSPs.
 
Wow Japster! Your necklace will be beyond beautiful! The pearls are so pretty with that pink sapphire pave clasp:love:. When do you think that your will have enough pearls to string the necklace?

I do hope to be able to buy a pearl necklace from you one day:girlsigh:!
 
They said it was for the entire month of July... so I'd assume that they wouldn't run out, but you never know. Now I'm kind of regretting asking them to lengthen it to 19", but I think 19" looks better on me in general. (I'm 5'8" and I think 16"-18" looks weird)

This is the same with me, I'm 5'10 so 16inches sits right in the crook of my collarbones. necklaces look better on me when they are around 18 or 20 inches.
