You may remember my "Fire Goddess" fireball pendant which is a beauty of a fireball:



Well, she has some competition! Hisano and Jeremy brought back this incredible fireball this March from Hong Kong:



I decided I'd like a chain with asymmetrically placed pearls, so Hisano offered this option first:



I decided that wasn't quite what I envisioned. We threw around some more ideas and pictures, and came up with a fantastic design:

Been a lurker for years, but am breaking my silence to say how amazingly perfect this is.

I squealed when I saw it. Seriously.

Very nice :appl: :appl: :appl: The new pendant is serious competition to the last one. Love the design you and Hisano came up with. Are the accent pearls freshies or akoyas? Neckshot please when it arrives.

Andromeda -- Thanks! I promise to post neck shots.

iguanatan -- I am honored this pendant made you join the conversation! I have gasped out-loud at others' pearl pictures (4RanchGirl and FlyGirl immediately come to mind) and then looked around sheepishly.

4Ranch Girl -- the pearls are akoyas with blue, golden, and pinkish overtones. I wanted them to reflect the overtones of the incredible fireball. Did you happen to see this fireball when you visited last week? I was sorry not to have requested that you hold it up.

Both are gorgeous. They look like wildly metallic wontons and really need to be eaten! *I skipped lunch, lol*

Thank you for you kind comments, everyone! It hasn't shipped yet, so we'll all have to wait a while.

bsomlo - I loved your 1st fireball and the 2nd is equally amazing! The custom design is perfect and what a statement. Bold, feminine and truly unique. I am envious!

Hi
Thank you for the welcome!
I look forward to great company, and great information here, nice to be around pearl lovers. I am happy to be chatting with old friends and the new friends I will make on these threads.
Ok waiting anxiously for the fed ex truck to stop in front of my house. Waiting for my SS pearl pendant. It has been a very long time since my heart was doing pitter patter waiting for a pearl delivery. 12pm, and still waiting!

Wow. Just Wow.

I haven't been over to visit the pearl forum before, but that will probably change soon! Such stunning jewelry!

VRBeauty -- thank you so much. Pearls are incredible, and seriously addictive.

I may receive the pendant on Monday. Finger's crossed. Pictures to follow, of course!

Thanks baby monster. I feel proud -- though my family doesn't understand what an honor this is and how rare it is for pearls to win! I'm just dying to see and hold the piece in my hands!
