I am a long time lurker, but this is my first post. I learned a lot at this forum, and I would like to thank you all for the information you give.
At first I did not like ripples, but the more I was looking at them, the more I fell in love with them. The only problem was, that I did not found anything on Catherines website, what I really liked, and all the strands, which I liked, were sold. So I e-mailed Catherine, and asked her, if she is going to post new items. She answered me really quickly, and sent also some pictures with new ripple pearl strands. I was looking for a specific colour, and also for less textured skins....and I was so happy to find everything, I was looking for in this strand. I ordered it immediately, and this week my first CC ripple pearls arrived. I was so curious to open the box, and I really liked what I found inside.
To the stats: it is 17.5 inch without the clasp, and 19 inch with clasp.The pearls are in the front 12.6 mm, 12.2 mm, and 10 mm down to the clasp. Catherine described the color as pale golden lavender, but for me it is more pale silvery-golden rose with some green overtones...I like it really much!! :D
So some pictures for your viewing pleasure:





I know...you are going to ask for neckshots...but I was not able to post more then 4 pictures. Can someone tell me why?

Ahhhh!!! Amazing!! I am a ripple junkie. I just cannot stop. I am so thrilled you love those, they are gorgeous!!!!! And I am like you. The first dozen times I looked at them I was like "why are these more expensive?" LOL I just didn't get it. But as time wore on and then I saw BabyMonster's here, I fell in love with them.

Thank you for your comments! I try to post more pictures:

We both were. LOL! Now look at us. :roll:

I just love your new pearls! They look beautiful on you-a lovely soft color. A great pairing with that top to be sure.

A few days ago I just ordered a light dome (or lightbox ?- I don't know the correct description), and I made some pictures of this strand! The difference is incredible! At the moment I can post only 1 picture, but I am really surprised, how the colors just pop! I want to make pictures of my whole collection!

Yay! Have fun! Confess that sometimes I put my pearls under the dome just to admire the colours. :tongue:

And the pearls do look gorgeous on you. :love:

icy_jade, I also have to confess, that I put the pearls in the dome, just to see the colors! I just stand there, and look! It is just soooo beautiful! And than I take some photos, and try to capture the colors, what I see! As soon as I have some time, I am going to make some pictures of all of my pearls! :love: :rolleyes:

Haha. Still think we all NEED a photography dome hat and/or umbrella. :rolleyes:

Goodie. Do share your photography tips. Looking forward to more pearly goodness. :appl:

How did I miss this thread originally...?!

Your ripples are GORGEOUS! The color is so feminine and angelic.

Can I ask what # they are so I can look for similar colors?

WOW!!! Wear them in health and enjoy!

bsomlo, this color is called pale golden lavendel. Catherine did not even put it on the website, because I asked her to put it on hold, as soon as I have seen it on FB! Originally I was looking for golden rose, but I really was "in love" as I have seen this strand! :love:
