Chuyun drops, BN bracelet

[yssie]

Another happy Chuyun customer!


I wanted a pair of round drops, and other posters have been very happy with these - I can see why

 

[yssie]

A little bit closer. The chain was originally much longer - you can see the results of my home soldering job - the big blob on the jump ring

Next to a 10mm akoya stud. The pearls are both very round, and nicely matched in colour and surface - you can see imperfections up close, and the lustre isn't great (they look more dull in these photos than IRL though), but for this price I'm not complaining

0.43ct martini in wg

8mm pearls - my calipers say 7.7. I love these proportions!

earshot

And my newly shortened BN bracelet, just because I''m so proud of it

The bracelet:

 

[yssie]

The cleanest solder I''ve done yet!!

 

[yssie]

On. I took out an entire section - from 7.5" to just under 6.5".

Oh I love those drops!! they look perfect!

I like that bracelet too, so much affordable than the Tiff version

 

[AmberGretchen]

Very pretty - nice job on both, really lovely pieces!!

 

[Kelli]

I love both pieces!! Especially the bracelet. Good work!

 

[cushioncutnut]

Great job! They look gorgeous! I love the earring jackets! I have to admit... you are giving me ideas!!!!!

yssie, I love those pearl drops!!! I love that you shortened the chain, too...the proportions with your martini studs are just perfect!

 

[Skippy123]

Oh wow, so beautiful!!! Love the bling and pearls

 

[yssie]

pearlie, swedish bean, Amber, Kelli, cushion, vc10um, skippy - thank you!! I''m just so proud of finding exactly what I wanted sooo far under budget and learning how to solder my own chains, I had to share with the only people who Get It!!

 

[chiquitapet]

Beautiful drops - just perfect with your studs! And I love your bracelet too!!!

 

[cellentani]

So glad you posted this! I''ve been meaning to get my drops shortened - I don''t like the feel of the pearls swinging around my ears, lol. How great that you can do the job yourself, and I love the proportions.

 

[yssie]

Chiquitapet - thank you!

Cellentani - it''s taken me a month to get around to it

. I wore them with the longer chains once and they kept getting caught in my hair, somehow, so that was that. I''m really more of a stud person anyway, but FI likes dangly earrings so I indulge him from time to time
