Visiting Dad today, and layering up all the pearls. Blue baroque akoyas (BBAs), white and golden South Sea pearls, Tahitian nuggets, smooth Kasumi pearls, pistachio baroque akoyas, blue akoya keshi, and freshwater pearls. The Everything Bagel rope and a long tin-cup. Mismatched pendants on...

Dyed freshwater blues today. All from Kojima.

Talk to Mikimoto America. I've had them fix pearls I bought from them. If this strand still has all the seals on the strand, they could restring with a proper Miki clasp for you. It might be a bit expensive, but it will be infinitely cheaper than buying a new strand of Mikis.

How it started: I caught this long tin-cup on the handle of my fridge and broke it when I stood up. I feel so stupid, because I did this once before, and Sarah from Kojima kindly fixed it. How it's going: This time, Sarah was in Tucson when I broke it, and when she came back she was busy...

I think I bought that exact pair of blue studs from PP. They are insanely blue. Much more colorful than any other BBAs I have, or have ever seen.

JEG: WOWZA! Love these.

Vintage 1990s pearls. Mom's Rice Krispie freshwater pearls. The dragon's clasp is behind its head and not in its mouth. Akoya earrings with ruby hearts were a gift to me from my Mom decades ago. Good luster holds up!

I like the baroque one you posted, but the older I get, the more colorful and baroque I like my pearls. If you buy from PP, you can always return it if it doesn't make your heart sing when you see it in person. You can also do a video consultation and have them show you several online to...

It depends on the strand! Tahitians come in so many different colors and shapes, so wait until you find one that really makes your heart sing. But Tahitians are always available As for BBA? I LOVE BBAs. But again, wait until you see a good strand that makes your heart sing. BBAs are not...

JEG: I love everything. Love the new jade fish pendant, too. Trying out my new blue baroque akoya and Tahitian mismatched earrings (OceanRhyme) with various pearl necklaces. Today it's the Coral Atoll circled Tahitian necklace (Kamoka pearl farm). Handwoven linen towel. Wearing these...

Visiting Dad today wearing my new mismatched BBA and Tahitian earrings from OceanRhyme. Two tin-cup Tahitian necklaces from Kojima Pearl.

Haha, A Breaker. I love how you called sweat "glow." But you're right. As much as I try to keep the pearls clean, it's almost impossible to keep the knots clean, too. When I restring is really a good time to clean around the drill holes. It's amazing how much gunk gets down in the...

OOOOO, new pearl earrings from OceanRhyme. I love my white and golden South Sea and Tahitian double drop earrings from OceanRhyme, so I asked Julia if she could make me some blue baroque akoya and Tahitian double drop earrings in a similar look. The colors are even stronger in real life, and...

Love your Tahitians, JEG. I'm going to a memorial for a weaving friend's husband today, so I'm wearing a little black dress and white pearls. Mikimoto earrings. My first akoya pearl rope from 1982. My natural white Hanadama rope from Pearl Paradise. Mixed tin-cup of white South Sea pearls...

Cool! Thank you.
