My pearlie project from PP - Tahitian Harvest Strand!

[mapo]

Hi everyone,

I am very excited about this purchase. A few weeks ago I inquired about getting a harvest strand from PP. Jeremy was more than helpful with his suggestions. I asked for a long strand about 34 to 35 inches, with various colors and shapes. I requested him to choose pearls with high luster and very strong cool overtones, such as pink, green, silver, blue, purple, and light circling and little to no pin pricks.
initially, he sent me some pictures of strands he made up for an upcoming special. But based on my requests, he made the following beauty:



I requested that the two 13-14 round pearls - one black and one pistachio - be replaced by some baroque pearls. I also requested to use the silver clasp from the white metallic rope special from July. I think Jeremy did wonderfully in his selection and I can't wait to see it, probably next week. So enjoy this picture while I wait....

Absolutely gorgeous harvest strand! It is a dream!

One week...seven days. The waiting is the hardest part. We look forward to your pictures. It looks beautiful!!! I don't think I saw that strand at the Ruckus. It must have been tucked away in a zip loc bag. The ones I saw were darker.

Ooh....me three for pictures please! That would be a dream strand for me too!

The shapes and colors are a bit reminiscent of your Blaire strand, aren't they?

So pretty, mapo.

Oh yeah. I reach for that Blaire strand so much. I even had it on last night. I love the fact of lighter pearls with blues on the side with the silver drop and greens and browns on the other side. 2 necklaces in one.

mapo - I am so excited for you! That will be a strand you'll wear all of the time. The various colors, shapes and sizes make it so unique!!!

Jeremy was kind enough to email me another picture. This is natural light I think.



These days must go by quicker!

I absolute adore this necklace. It's going to be great studying each pearl one by one....highly recommend working with Jeremy on pearl projects. I love the selection of the pearls and they truly represent a harvest from drops to rounds to baroques.

 

[cmd2014]

That is stunning!!! How long is it? It looks gorgeous on you, both long and doubled!

mapo,
It's so GORGEOUS GORGEOUS. It turned out to be just what you wanted. You'll love discovering the uniqueness of each pearl. Wear it in health!

 

[Fly Girl]

Amazing! Love it!

 

[mapo]

thanks HHPmom and FlyGirl!

I took some shots of the harvest strand with my single strand of baroque t's. I like how I can wear them together!



then "tripled" by doubling the harvest strand and adding the single strand nestled in the middle.

 

[baby monster]

Gorgeous! Love it on its own and stacked with other strand.

This is just glorious.
I don't mind admitting I have some serious pearl envy going on!
