I've never tried to hit the RETURN button on my laptop so fast. Usually I dither until the next day before I buy something.

After last night's PP Live event, I'm in a blue mood. My first strand of blue baroque akoyas from PP. They are 10 mm and have a wonderful soap bubble luster that my camera can't capture. These pearls really glow. They're also the palest of my BBAs. They're knotted on sky blue Serafil from...

The bird earrings were the only ones that really caught my eye. I've already been doing the thick round choker with a drop pearl thing for years.

Kasumi and ripples. Real Japanese Kasumi earrings with amethysts from Kojima. Pastel ripples (Chinese freshwater pearls) from Kojima. Intense ripples (Chinese freshwater pearls) from Pacific Pearls. I only keep the pastel ripples so I can hook the two strands together into an opera length...

My new wire wrapped, golden SS keshi necklace from Hisano. My new Tahitian Planet pendant from Kamoka. Tahitian earrings from Kamoka.

"I warned her husband it might be more than just a ring fix"!!!!!!:ROFLMAO:

They look exactly like my Mom's cultured rice krispie pearls from the 1990s. Her pearls have 18K gold beads and clasps, too. Gold was cheaper then.

OOOO JEG: I'm so glad you got that double Tahitian strand with the vintage clasp. I'm a sucker for a cool clasp, and I was eyeing that necklace for a long time.

Visiting Dad today. Wilma Flintstones! Necklace is made of 13.5 mm freshwaters from Kojima, with the luster of akoyas. Earring drops are from Pearls of Joy, worn on Mom's diamond earrings. Mom's "sapphire" ring. It's actually an early tanzanite, when they were more interested in colors...

OOOOO, I love ombre' strands!

I second Pearl Paradise.

Beachy tin-cup and feather pendant. Winter Snowman and Summer Rainbow pendants on my Mom's diamond hoops. Tin-cup has emerald beads and a sapphire bead, and some shells.

I had a pearl fall out of my Kamoka ring, and I got good advice from here, Kamoka, and PP to fix it myself. My whole post lists all the steps I did to fix it. The pearl's been solid ever since. https://www.pearl-guide.com/threads/help-i-broke-my-ring.461795/#post-465731

CTD: "However, if you ever want to rehome it... :)" I know who to call!!!

OMG, CTD, that's the first time I've ever snagged a pearl out from someone else. Usually I dither way too long, and then it's gone. I'm so sorry. OK, I'm not sorry, but you know what I mean. Tevai told me they're called switched symmetry pearls! They’re very rare. Definitely one in...
