New Tahitians from Jose

With the USPS problems resolved and finally some partially sunny days, I have a few shots of my new strand from Jose. I really like the look of these pearls but have yet to run into light that makes them look quite as intense as Jose's pictures...but he has the advantage of California sun which we just don't have in rainy Oregon during the winter.

The pearls are challenging to shoot since in different lights different colors in some of the pearl's overtones are emphasized. A few pearls even seem to color shift which is really cool. I included a few shots so this could sort of be seen. The luster was also a challenge for me to capture with my little point in shoot. In person, they are far shinier (though a few of the pistachio and light colored pearls are a little less shinny). These images also show the blue pearl in its proud new home. It is little bluer than I was able to capture but this gives the general feel.







I will do a neck shot later once I am ready for my close-up. :)

I know you meant to say color shift.
Those are really cool looking pearls!

Gorgeous, Naria! What size and length are they? I'm also looking forward to the neck shot.

Whoops...definitely color shift. You can see why I outsource my editing. :oops: I reported the post since I seem to no longer have editing control. Hopefully a moderator can help me out.

The necklace is 10-11.7mm.

Thanks all for the replies. I'm away from home for January, but when I get back I'll get my friend to help me get some neck glamor shots. I love the strand. I know some people feel like multicolor strands do not look good on certain complexions. I'd love to get your guys' insight on the future neck shots regarding the complexion issue, but even if they don't look perfect on me I'm probably too much in love with the strand to do anything but keep it anyways. :)

I bet you get lots of wear out of this strand. It should go with everything. I wear multi color strands more than anything in my collection. They are easy to add into too.

It is pretty Naria, The luster and the way the pearls are combined are delicate, I am sure each pearl has get their right place to highlight each other, Thanks for sharing with us the necklace! =)

Ooh, I'm just now seeing this! Absolutely stunning necklace! Gah! Gorgeous! Did you have a blue that you asked him to set? Is the blue in the bottom center of the strand, or were you referring to another?

Thanks for inquiring about the blue pearl. I had Jose find one that would fit the spot. It is actualy rather challenging to match a pearl for a strand because you want to keep the gradiation right. I don't have that type of pearl collect...yet. :Up_to_something: It is in fact the center pearl. The original was a meh dull colored one and I thought that middle pearl on the strand really should be something special.

These are the long promised neckshots of my 18" strand. They were taken with a tablet camera so unfortunately do not show off the necklace in its full glory. I am unable to find my actually camera so these will have to suffice for the time being. tahitian_neckshot.jpg

What a beautiful multi color strand Naria. The size of the Tahitians and the length is just perfect. :appl: I hope you find you reach for it frequently. That baby shouldn't be kept in the dark of the storage box. :love: :love: :love:

Thanks guys. I'm sorry I couldn't show them off better. I wish I hadn't mislaid my good camera. hmmm... maybe some of pearl allowance will have to go into a camera fund.

naria, your necklace is gorgeous! I have not been a fan of Tahitians, but this makes me think: "Hmmm....".
