Ombre baroque South Sea (casual)

[MMtwo]

They're here. To be honest...I wish the center pearls were stronger gold. I may restring this myself and look for a deeper gold center pearl or three. They're fine for casual wear though. They will be nice for summer. I'm not in love with them. I do like them. But heh, I like most pearls.

I'll need to see them in the daylight. It's grey and snowy outside.

It’s a lovely size on you but I see what you mean about the center benefiting from some more oomph in saturation. I think hunting for some more golden baroques could be a lot of fun!

I always enjoy a hunt It's not bad as it is, but the deeper gold would just add so much more.

 

[SparklieBug]

Agree! A more saturated center grouping would add some visual oomph.

You’re so photogenic, @MMtwo!

Thank you!

They are probably more muted than you'd want for ombre and for impact. I think that you could find a few that are more saturated for a not terrible price though.

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

They are pretty. I like the shapes and the size of the strand, and it looks like it would go very well with summer or casual clothes. But I do see what you mean. It's nice that your skin tone flatters them though.

Oh the ombre is so subtle and beautifully done
I gasped when i saw them on your neck!

Do what ever you have to to love this strand !
Its a knock out !

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Im going to save a pix for inspiration for when i do my freshies
I love the 'mutedness'

 

[Spring Azure]

I quite like the subtle color graduation! It really glows nicely on you. I’m sure you’ll be able to rework the strand if it’s not exactly what you had in mind.

 

[CMN]

I think we need some more pics to tell. They look pretty but they are not that screaming in your face gold impact look if you know what I mean. How is the luster?

 

[CMN]

Also, we have to try and avoid comparing a gold ombré with the amazing Tahitian ombré that MakingtheGrade just made.

Agree
Its apples and pears

 

[ForteKitty]

Pretty!! Can we see a picture of you wearing it a quarter turn to either side? I love seeing the full Ombre from one shoulder to the other!

Sure! as soon as the sun comes up, I will post a few more pictures. It was so grey yesterday and near dusk. Overhead lighting is not the best pearl lighting.

If you run into any, will you give me a heads up? I did a short search last night. It's hard to find truly baroque/ringed GSS so far.

I agree...baroque pearls should not too terribly expensive. I hope...and if I can find a few!

Thank you, Lisa. I do like them but had thought the center pearls were more of a medium gold and not a dark champaign.

You are just the sweetest person on PS, Daisys and Diamonds. For you....I will love this strand - I promise

Thanks...and it helps to have your perspective on how it looks. I can wear it now

The luster is okay. Lovely in some spots and heavily blemished in others. It is such a baroque necklace that spotty just adds to it's natural charm, so that is not too bad. A couple of rings are chalky white. Stepping back 3 feet it's fine. Dark pinprick holes in a few pearls.

Also, we have to try and avoid comparing a gold ombré with the amazing Tahitian ombré that MakingtheGrade just made.

Her necklace is really something else! So much love!

Daylight helped quite a bit. I see a deeper gold this morning. Pearls are so moody with different types of lighting. Hope this shows the gradient better.
Ugh, ignore the wrinkles.

It's such a cheerful necklace! The colors really do compliment you.

 

[lissyflo]

I love the strand & it suits you really well.

I have an unrelated question for you, if that’s okay? What’s your lipstick in this picture? It’s a really lovely natural-lips-but-deeper colour!

Thanks lissyflo.

My lipstick is a cheapie: Covergirl long wear in universal nude. I have a neutral to cool color and too cool of a pink makes me look ill. It has to have some warmth. It took a while to find this, but it is a "universal nude" #960 that is pinkish with a tiny bit of coral. I have three of these sets around the house.

I really love it
the transition to the white pearls is so delicately done
Im glad you see more love for it in different lighting

 

[katbran]

It's important when you open pearls to move them around into different lighting conditions. The coloured pearls can change so very dramatically ( exp Tahitian and Blue Akoya).

I love the lighter shades of gold and the shapes in this piece. I'm sure you can find one or two baroques that will fill in a darker shade if you want.

 

[stracci2000]

This strand is fabulous! The colors are just delicious.
I could eat them like candy.

Thank you, Daisys and DIamonds. I think I'm won over now.

Thank you! When I took them out at home in low light, I didn't even see the gold at first. I was so disappointed. In daylight, I think they do just fine and present quite differently. Lesson learned.

I'm kinda drooling over the pearls in @MMtwo's new avatar.

Thanks again!

I feel like that when I see lustrous round colorful Tahitians.

Maybe this is why pearls were tradionally worn to day time events !
Let the diamonds sparkle by night but the day belongs to the pearl !
(My mun always wore her pearls at night, so I'd never heard of the now defunct daytime pearl rule till the internet)

I didnt know about the gemstones after dusk rule until recently. I believe pearls get a 24/7 pass

 

[Pinkmartini87]

I really love this! Personally I wouldn’t change a thing—the gradient is lovely and gentle, and the degree of intensity of the pearls is very suitable for your skin tone. Fantastic choice!

 

[pearlsngems]

It's fine just the way it is! It looks good on your skin and it's an easy-to-wear size for everyday use.
