Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:The pendant photographed yellower than it really is — it’s more creamy/peach in color.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I forgot to mention that this necklace can be worn with the pearl strands straight or twisted — wearer’s choice!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Lucky Suzanne!! A loving gift from Mom and Grandpa!!!
I do like how clear your photos are, although I have also had trouble getting the colors to come out “true”. I did find that I had to re-shoot a whole batch because I kept going when my battery was getting low…all the colors came out wrong.

Photos continue to be a challenge for me, along with naming my pieces…..sigh.
