I try to photograph my pearls mid morning, in natural light, in the shade. Then I try to color correct in my photo app, so they look like they do to my eye.

THIS! Most brides don't remember most of what happens on their wedding day. It's all a blur. Give them to her when she's not so overwhelmed with everything else that's happening.

OOOO, NOOOOO. She will have already picked out her bridal jewelry way before her wedding day. Do not surprise her with something she may not even want. Her wedding is not about you. Tell her what you would like to get her and let her pick out what she likes. This way it's a bonding event...

MintyFresh, I think it's supposed to be a Coconut Crab on the T-shirt, but it is giving lobster vibes. Visiting Dad again today. Golden South Sea pearls, tourmalines, and a couple of Tahitian pearls. Golden South Sea Keshi necklace custom made for me by Hisano from Pearl Paradise. Pomme de la...

According to Sarah at Kojima, the Japanese are stringing white akoyas with dark grey knots for a very modern look. So your brown thread with the peachy freshies are right in style.

Cute necklace. Great price.

100% Kamoka chested today. Coral Atoll circled Tahitian pearl necklace and mismatched Tahitian earrings from Kamoka. This is my favorite jeans and a T-shirt necklace. The men's T-shirt doesn't have the claws pinching my nipples. I love the shape of the women's T-shirt, but this particular...

It's been a while. I'm still healing from surgery. Going to Dad's today wearing my new Kasumi ring. I'm having a hard time photographing it, though. But my real prize is wearing my reworked long Tahitian keshi tin-cup from Kojima that I broke. Hisano had reworked it as a double strand...

They could be akoyas or freshwaters. I can't decide. However, $100 is a steal. The clasp alone might be worth more than that. It all comes down to do you like them.

It looks like a freshwater pearl to me, too. The color and egg shape are typical of freshwater pearls from China.

Oh, let me tell you what sometimes happens to me! If I've threaded all the pearls and then I'm going BACK through the same pearls in the other direction, I sometimes accidentally push the needle through the previous thread. That's when I get weird snags. It's because the two threads are not...

Ohhhh, gorgeous pendant.

What kind of thread are you using?

Oh damn. I posted the same thing. Those SS pearls are HUGE and glowy.
