I like the colored mother of pearl nuggets quite a bit. These are in a pretty aqua color.
I've paired them with pastel aqua crystal pearls, and then accented them with chocolate brown seed beads.

White Pearl Barrettes
I'm a big fan of glass pearls, and white pearls are a classic. This is a nice barrette for a classic look or a bridal look. I also made them in a small size.
I've been fairly happy with the hairpiece I purchased from Ulta. It was on clearance, and then I had a coupon. I have no idea how one actually uses it on their head, but it is useful for my photography in that you can see how the hair ornaments look on hair. I originally had it strung up on a necklace display, but then found a styrofoam head at Sally's Beauty supply. One must roam and shop!

Pearls on Gold Lame Cord with Magnetic Clasp
Gold lame (lah-may) cord is hand knotted with pretty pearl beads that have a rainbow finish. These beads are highly reflective. This is a triple strand necklace and looks airy and delicate. It is very lightweight. The shortest strand is about 21" long. It is finished with a magnetic clasp. I used acrylic beads that have an aurora borealis pearl finish. The necklace seems luxurious, and it is very easy to wear and to take on and off.
Pale Pink Pearls with Puffed Silver Heart
This has a nice romantic look to it. These are glass pearls strung with silver pewter beads. The necklace focal is a filigree puffed heart. I also made matching earrings. I prefer glass pearls to the natural ones because I think they will hold up better. With real pearls, they always say no hairspray, no perfume, no lotion, etc. Those are too many rules for me. I always treat my jewelry carefully, but I'm not keen on a long list of rules. If you've ever seen the many collections of glass pearls, oh my! So many beads, so little time!
Glynne
This necklace has the look of luxury with golden champagne glass pearls and a brown foil animal print focal bead. Gold lined crystal spacers and dark grey roundels complete the look. It is finished with a sterling silver box design toggle clasp.
Flo
The Flo necklace is sparkly and eye-catching. Flat discs of mother of pearl shell dyed with an animal print are strung with white fire polished beads and golden shadow rondelles with an aurora borealis finish. It is finished with a smooth sterling silver toggle clasp.
