SuperChonky Pearls of Grace - A Special Necklace

[eloisegirl]

This pearl necklace is in memory of a dear relative who passed away after having Alzheimer's for many years. I found the string of blue grey souffle pearls on Etsy and initially showed them on the What Did You Get For Christmas thread.

I had some leftover blue Akoyas from Pearl Paradise which I thought would be nice as spacers, since the souffle strand was only 17 inches. I worked with Margaret from SimplyAdorned4U on Etsy, and she suggested bluish opal rondelles and white topaz beads. We chose this clasp:

Necklace is finished and here are the glamour shots!

Margaret chose one pearl as a pendant, saying this pearl immediately popped out at her as a pendant. Looks kind of like a blue bunny complete with cotton tail. Because I am a larger lady, I wanted size and length. It is about 28" finished.

Blue Akoyas (not mine but I will inquire, LOL!)

I bought my Tahitians from SimplyAdorned4U and they look a lot like this; my necklace is a dual orbit clasp so easy to hang the pendant on them.

Welp, I guess I need a GSS/SS strand now...

As well, my sister had bought 32" of peacock 10 mm pearls from QualityBeadMart on Etsy (where my SuperChonks came from). She had a bracelet and necklace made by Margaret. Check out these glamour shots! Yowza!

Ooooo. These are stunning. Can’t wait for neck shots!

 

[eloisegirl]

Thanks! I do not love my neck, but will do it for PriceScope, LOL. Wish I could fit my neck in a lightbox!

So beautiful- the soft pastel blue colors of the pearls are just gorgeous. I love how versatile the pendant is.

 

[SparklieBug]

Super colors and shapes! When will the goodies arrive?! When will we see IRL neck shots?!

So many beautiful strands But your memorial strand - that one is one of a kind. A really beautiful combination of stones in a really lovely arrangement - soft and inviting. I'm looking forward to your thoughts and modelling pics when you receive it - I hope it brings you peace and many happy memories

Wow, wow, wow.
im a newbie to the world of pearls but that necklace is absolutely stunning.
pearls are like Opals, each one an individual and totally unique. Special gifts from nature.
wear them with much joy.

I didn't quote all of your necklaces...because it would be too many pictures but I love them all. The one you had made in memory of your aunt is so outstanding. I'm plus-sized too and at times like this...yes, yes you can wear big bold pearls and not have them wear you.

Ooooohhhhhh, you made me look at this Southsea combo and favorite this shop. The price is very good for the luster on this strand. If I didn't have another one on the way right now, I would be so tempted!

Lovely pearls - and so affordable. I love this! Thanks for the fun show and we'll love to see neck shots.

LOL! And this, Your Honor, is why I can't be trusted online, alone and with my credit card...

Am I right? It's so true. Pearls are addictive....I mean, it's only one strand.

LOL! You. are. right.! And I totally commiserate: It's only one strand. Or two. Or at the very most... three. Maybe.

 

[eloisegirl]

Pearls and potato chips - you can’t have just one! Life is too short, so buy the pearls!

 

[SparklieBug]

^^^ LOL!

My baby is here! Presenting SuperChonky Pearls of Grace!!!

 

[eloisegirl]

This was created by SimplyAdorned4U on Etsy. I had bought a Kasumi- like strand which had different types of CFWs and pink sapphires from her. Favourited her shop and then saw Tahitians which I had to have. I asked if she did custom pieces, the answer was yes, and badabing-badaboom here we are!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

It looks amazing!!!

 

[MMtwo]

Oh yes girl, those are QUEENLY pearls Love it!

 

[SparklieBug]

Beauties! Will you wear it both with and without the focal pendant?

 

[eloisegirl]

I’m going to wear it with the pendant while at home because glamour and pearls are LIFE!!!
