Those of you who know me, know that I started out in the Jewelry Industry specializing in precious colored gemstones: Brazilian Alexandrite, Sapphires (of all colors), Rubies, Emeralds (YUM), Imperial Topaz and much, much more.
Color is my first love, and I have always felt that pearls and precious colored gemstones mix very, very well! That’s why I was thrilled when I received my latest custom-design commission. Check it out:

Newest Custom Design Necklace - The Quinn Sapphire and Akoya Opera Strand
This gorgeous necklace measures 32-Inches total, and is composed of AAA Quality,
8.0-8.5mm Japanese Akoya pearls with a shimmering Cream/Ivory overtone (my favorite!!). The clasp is a confection of sparking diamonds and Ceylon Blue Sapphires set in 14K White Gold.
Showing off the full length of the pearls…
I have loved the longer pearl ropes for as long as I can remember – this one is a “mini” Opera length, which would come to rest at the top of the rib cage or thereabouts, and will allow the lucky lady to wear it singly, long and loose, or double-wrapped around the neck. Ohhh – or draped down an open back!! So sexy!
We are already working on our next precious color and pearl custom design project! This one will involve Burmese Rubies and our
Elite Collection Freshwater pearls. J’adore Rubies, don’t you? Check out these colors:
