Best Christmas ever-Necklaces for my two daughters

I have been wanting to give my daughters abalone necklaces for a long time.  Seven years ago I got one that was suitable.  Last summer, my NCKA brother, Joe--bloodbath, gifted me an abalone at Timber Cove and it yielded another pearl that would work.  I went to three different jewelers for bids and ideas.  Stephen Ware in Lafayette, Ware Designs, was so excited when he saw the pearls.  He is an x abalone diver and knows how precious large pearls are.  When I picked them up today, I looked at them,  my knees got weak and I broke into tears.   I thought they were breathtaking and I know they will be in my family forever. Thanks Joe for helping me make my dream happen.

Wow!
They look great Ray

That Bird claw mount is awesome 

Awesome gifts, Raydon.

That's awesome of you to create family heirlooms.  But how do you decide who gets which one?

One wanted a choker.  One wanted a pendant.  Easy.

Those are incredibly! Way to go Joe and Raydon

Amazing job on those designs. As many abs as I have taken in my earlier days, I had no idea they had any pearls. Totally cool. What a great gift for your kids!!! Well done!
