Here are the rest. The FW keshi is very metallic, but doesn't show up like that in my picture. It's beautiful with gold, lavender, peach, cream, etc.

Just gorgeous purchases! I missed out, AGAIN, on the one keshi that was put on the clearance page today. It was sold within minutes!

Enjoy your beauties!

Green, peach and lavender pendant with unity finding. This one reminds me of a cute snail. The loose FW is also green, peach and lavender. I attached a large eye pin to it. The dark spots on the pearls are my phone's reflection. These two are more vibrant than the skinny, feminine, subtle blue and lavender one.

Wow, I love the first one! It's so pretty!

Me too. I haven't glued the eye pin to the second one yet, just pushed it in to test how it hangs. My sister told me she prefers saltwater pearls over FW. So I may keep the first only.

These souffle pearls are pretty but I think I am having second thoughts about them. I think I'll keep the lavender and blue one as it is subtle. The green ones are very metallic but somehow I don't feel it's me. My sister has strong preference for saltwater pearls (which I just found out recently), so I won't gift these to her.

Has she seen these freshwaters yet? Stunning!

Finally, I get to add mine! Picked them up today. Then tried to get some pics for you all. And now it's late and I still haven't finished packing (am leaving for European tomorrow). But here are a few pics.

Yet another happy possessor of the exotic Keshi strand! Copper, gold, lavender and cream. Yummy!

And here is my fabulous stunningly gorgeous soufflé! With matching baroque blue akoyas!
The soufflé is reflecting my red sweater in this shot.

Have a safe and fun trip periwinkle. I wish you had time to take pictures of the soufflé and akoya on white background. The FW keshi is so beautiful. I love mine with gold, pink, cream and especially lavender pearls. I caught my boss staring at my necklace yesterday when we were talking. He normally does not do that and only commented once on a Tahitian piece.

I managed to find time to take more pictures!

In PNW daylight, on a white background. The soft colours really came up (I used tissue wrapping paper to diffuse!).
Side A and side B!

Thanks!

Honestly, I thought the akoyas would be much bluer! The aqua is lovely, but it wouldn't be my first choice.


Was planning to string them (on a mixed baroque akoya strand) but am now seriously considering putting the soufflé on an enhancer bail.

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone!

Happy Holidays to you too!

I'm sure you ask to be on a waiting list in case any more come back. Just a thought!

Periwinklegirl, Your keshis are true candies. Just waiting necks shots... :D . As a newbie, souffles are new to me. All I have seen now are incredibly beautiful :lickout:

Periwinklegirl, you nailed it with the keshi's colors. IRL the metallic luster is incredible.

Hope you have a fun and safe trip, periwinklegirl. Are you going to take your fantastic new pearls with you? I don't think I could bear to leave them at home.

I'm returning my souffle too. It's sad because I was so excited about the souffles before the Black Friday sale. However, I just don't think that the color goes super well with my skin tone and there are other things I want to purchase more. :)

Maybe we can trade :Up_to_something:? I just got my souffle and it has similar tones but yours seems to have more green, which I prefer.

I'm having such a hard time figuring out the colors of my new souffle and tahitians. The weather has been very dark and gloomy so the pearls don't look that great. Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow so I can figure out their actual colors.

baby monster -- I know what you mean! I've been leaving the house in the dark and returning in the dark and haven't been able to properly visit with my new Tahitians. They just looked dark... I finally saw them in daylight and they are indeed dark green with amazing, wonderful reds! I'll post pictures later. I must say, I love everything I bought from PP during Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
