These are more of the 'Tropical' pearls but this time in very pretty pinky purple and blue-purple and violet shades. (NOT dyed). Lovely glowing lustre. Shapes are mostly round , but some are slightly off round. Very nice surfaces, mostly smooth some with very fine wrinkle texture, more seen than felt (I guess this is what gives this type of pearl the soft glow rather than sharp shine and their lovely rich colour). A few very slight blemishes (mostly visible only under my bright work light), more than 1185, that fit right in. overtones in violet and blues. A few metallics in there as well. Lots of colourplay. Strung on powerpro and knotted with 3mm rolled gold rondel beads between each pearl. NOTE: These necklaces with rondel beads between each pearl feel stiffer in the hand than those strung just on silk, because the small metal bead restricts movement. They do hang beautifully and feel very nice on. In the photos there will appear to be small gaps, this is because I've rolled them into a smaller circle than they are comfortable with, for picture taking. |
