Thought I would share

[tzelin]

4Ranch Girl, the colors on your pearls are simply amazing! I hope that one day, I too will have a fine collection like yours.

 

[4Ranch Girl]

Tzelin your collection will rivel mine when you have collected pearls for over 30 years. Remember to buy quality, uniqueness and what you love, that is the secret.

4RG- I forgot to ask the dimensions of the souffle pearl..? I have come back to this thread several times to look at everything again

 

[4Ranch Girl]

Bean it is 17.6 wide and my guage on goes up to 20.5 and it is maybe 3 or 4 more MM so 17.6 by 23 or 24 MM long (guessing here) and 13.6 deep big, big pearl

All of them are so beautiful! I don't think I could pick a favorite!

Another of my pearl birthday presents

Very elegant, how long is the necklace? I love the mix of different coloured pearls and overtones.

 

[4Ranch Girl]

Sorry it took me so long to answer your question I just got them this morning. The necklace has 25 pearls and is 42 inches long.

 

[4Ranch Girl]

I was inspired by Fly Girl with her Diana bracelet. I took a 100 inch 6 MM pearl rope I already had and updated with clasps from PP. Just got them today.

Thank you, I'm really tempted to enquire about these pearls.

Thanks for the smile this morning, 4Ranch! Those are lovely pieces. I love beautiful clasps like those. Thanks for sharing your lovely pearl collection, which serves as inspiration to many more of us.

The triple strand and bracelet sure will be statement pieces. I do like the FW tin cup a lot . Even when worn as double strand, it's still long enough for you to gaze at your chest. Did you get matching earrings or bracelet?

 

[4Ranch Girl]

Glad you are smiling Fly Girl Do your wear your beautiful bracelet often?

HHPmom no bracelet yet LOL but now you have me thinking about one though. Maybe when I come home from the Ruckus one will be on my wrist then. I went to PP with the intention for coping your "bunch of grapes" necklace but Jeremy talked me into a tin cup, after I played with the pearls it turned into a long tin cup.

I wear the bracelet when I'm working in the office or going to the theater. It is such a nice, dressy piece.

All of your pearls are gorgeous and I have to ask, where did you find that chain?

If you are asking about the one with the big white/cream drop I got if from Shop NBC Gold with Stephano maybe 5 years ago it was a anniversery show piece he presented called "Festeggiare necklace". It is 36 inches long and each side chain is 2.5 MM wide so laying flat it is over 5 MM wide. It is one of my favorite chains to wear.

That's the one Ranch Girl, thanks!

Sea of Cortez Pearl harvest was only around 1700 pearls this year. Douglas brought a dozen pearls for us to choose from and I chose 2. I really wanted a blue body and a green body pearl with the burgendy overtone Cortez is known for.

 

[4Ranch Girl]

These were Jeremy's gift to all the attendies at the 2011 Ruckus. We were able to chose our favorite strand of the color change metallic strands. Some of the strands were solid color and some were multi. My choice was a multi to go with my multi color tin cup rope. These are very near round very special pearls.

 

[LGK]

OMG! Sooooo many gorgeous, gorgeous pieces! I have died and gone to pearl heaven.

(This, this right here is why I avoid this forum- I covet sooooo many of the amazing things you girls have, and then my pocketbook hates me.I reallllly don't need a teal Tahitian strand. Don't. Don't! Gah.)

4 Ranch Girl, that is exactly how I had planned on my three-strand pearl bracelet, down to the exact clasp-- i was thinking about adding a couple of spacers on mine, but yours looks gorgeous!!!!!!

 

[4Ranch Girl]

I added 3 Kamoka pearls a blue body, a peacock color and a purple pearl and a lime green, silver blue, dark blue and gold pearl, more white gold laser cut balls. It is now 26 inches long. Love the new length with the added pearls and gold. Do not have a new pic with the drop and clasp added yet.

 

[NacreLover]

Love your beautiful Pearls.

Amazing, gorgeous collection! I am in love with your Tahitian drop bracelet, earrings, exotic FW (both the gold body and lavender). I came here to research for a Akoya strand, now you got me itching for Tahitians and exotic FW too
