Here's a blast from the past, a single strand violet freshwater pearl necklace, designed and strung by my inimitable partner, Page. It features a pixie dust floral focal (vessel) combined with pixie and abstract round beads, swarovski crystal and czech beads, accented with bali and sterling silver.

Not certain why I never got around to posting this splendid piece, though the specular highlights might've been an issue: I simply didn't have the tools to combine exposures (let alone darken up the too-bright highlights) the way I do today. Image processing tools have gotten a lot more powerful (& easy to use) in the intervening 20 years.

And such a beautiful piece surely deserves to be showcased.
