10K BLACK PEARL RING

Project radiance and sophistication in this gorgeous Akoya cultured pearl necklace and stud earring set. Lustrous round Akoya cultured pearls, with a diameter range of 6.5 to 7mm, are individually knotted on silk cord to form the 18-inch necklace. This classic pearl strand is finished with a fancy filigree clasp, in radiant and durable 14 karat yellow gold. The matching stud earrings also feature round 6.5-7mm Akoya cultured pearls, with 14 karat yellow gold posts and backings.
These are fine quality round pearls, well-matched for size, shape and color, with light blemishing and a beautiful deep luster. Their color is white-rose--in other words, white but with a slight rosy hue. Akoya cultured pearls are produced in salt-water mollusks in Japan and China. They were the first type of pearl to be cultured, back in the 1920s, and remain the most popular and classic choice for pearl strands. Akoya cultured pearls are prized for their smoothness, roundness, and gorgeous deep luster. Though they may look similar to freshwater cultured pearls, when the two are placed side-by-side, the Akoya pearl's superior qualities are clear.
A traditional pearl strand and matching pearl stud earrings are a versatile addition to any woman's fine jewelry collection. They will complement everything from a daytime professional outfit to an evening cocktail dress, and their timeless beauty ensures they will look as classy and elegant years from now as they do today.

An interesting find in the Arboretum, Capsicum annuum 'Black Pearl' an ornamental pepper plant with nearly black leaves!

Plants in this arboretum are not always labeled, so I was pleased to see one of those plastic tie ons on this one. I didn't think it looked like any pomegranates I'd ever seen, but afaik, I'd never seen a seedless pomegranates. When I did a Google image search however, I began to suspect someone had played a trick - seedless pomegranate's look pretty much like the seeded variety. I searched again on 'black leaves' and found its true identity pretty quickly. Now that I look at them, these fruits do look a bit like cherry peppers.

Black Pearl Skate Park is the largest outdoor concrete skate park in the world. Its expansive bowls, half-pipes, and quarter-pipes are a far cry from the gritty punk-made runs of Bunrside I'm used to shooting at in Portland. But the skaters here are not afraid of photographers, and are pretty avid about their sport. It's highly impressive.

NOTE: If you're one of the guys who was there when I took these shots, and don't see your photo here within the next few days, let me know if you want any shots by contacting me at lionheart09@comcast.net
