Ooh this large Tahitian drop is delightful @jeg ! Such a beautiful shape and colour. Would you have the dimensions for it at all?

Wearing my Collins tiny Ts strand from @pearlescence and a freshwater rice pearl ring. I recently bought a 6ct moissanite tilted pear ring from a second-hand app (Vinted) and it’s so fun and blingy! The freshwater ring is so easy to wear as well: I like it both standalone and also stacked with...

Hi Nicole, your MBA topic sounds very interesting! Just to let you know, some of your questions were “tick all that apply” but I could only select one answer.

Thank you for sharing the process - I haven’t really encountered any yet, hope to stumble across some beautiful harvest strands in future! I am gobsmacked at how blue some of the SS are as I’ve not seen it in real life before, absolutely gorgeous :love:

Thank you! Thanks! They feel okay for short periods, I haven’t worn them for longer than a couple of hours yet :) Really loving your keshi/harvest strands @jeg ! The soft colours and the organic shapes are beautiful. Are there some Tahitians in here too, or are they dark blue SS?

Wearing my mismatched 16.5mm studs and a strand of 7-7.8mm tiny Tahitians from @pearlescence I’m enjoying the contrast in size between the large studs and the tiny Ts! (Just noticed - please excuse the patch of baby drool on my shoulder… :ROFLMAO:)

Thank you! I got some great advice here :) Thanks! Thanks! I haven’t worn them for more than an hour at a time yet, hoping it works well for a longer period of time! Thank you!

I’ve heard lots of people say that darker pearls look smaller, so it’s okay to have a larger Tahitian and a smaller white pearl as a mismatched set. In the name of science (ha!), I wanted to unscientifically test this out because when I hold the pearls on my fingers they look equally large. My...

Thank you! Great idea to bring a little box/pouch :) To be honest, the biggest risk is the baby snatching them off my ears :ROFLMAO: Thanks!

I went to Hongqiao pearl market in Beijing today and one of the vendors (who sold me my very first strand) helped me make the studs. In summary, I decided to go for: 1. Simple studs rather than omega backs, and will be using large anti-droop earring backs (I don’t know the actual terminology...

White tee and tiny Ts from @pearlescence for me today. I love the Collins tiny Ts with a round neckline! I find larger pearls don’t sit so comfortably with a high neckline but these tiny Ts do the trick :)

Yes of course!

@LondonPearl inquiring minds would like to know whether you purchased any of these ginormous pearls and if so, what’s your plan for it/them? :geek:

Gosh @Pearls&Pugs you're so talented!!

Thank you, that’s so helpful @pearlescence ! Please can I pick your brain further - any preference for a stud/pin vs omega backs? Thanks @jeg !

Thank you @SteveM ! Hehe thanks @BWeaves . Omega backs are sometimes uncomfortable for me too so if they’re fancy (fine) jewellery then I get the tension adjusted :) I do own some anti-droop earring backs, so maybe I can use a simple earring stud post with the anti-droop backs. Haha I hope...

Hello all, please can I ask how you’d set this pair of mismatched monster studs? Inspired by @BWeaves ’s mismatched pairs, I went shopping for separate single black and white pearls that could form a pair. I wanted 15mm+ and got 16.5mm :devilish: The details are: Pearls: peacock-ish...

Inspired by @jeg ‘s tiny Ts, I was incredibly fortunate to stumble upon some Alexander Collins tiny drop peacock Ts from the lovely @pearlescence (who very kindly restrung them for me to 40cm as I like my necklaces shorter). They match my maiden strand perfectly - the mama Ts (9-11mm) are my...

Thank you! You're very welcome to join me hehe ;) Thanks Jeremy! This will be my second trip to Japan (the first time was for our honeymoon a month before covid hit - got lucky with timing) so I've been to Kyoto and Nara before and loved it - actually, the whole trip was incredible! My husband...

Hi everyone, I'm planning a trip to Japan and would like to spend enough time in Kobe and the surrounding area to feed my pearl addiction. I'd love to get your recommendations and any tips please. So far, things on my itinerary include: Mikimoto pearl island Kobe pearl museum Potentially...
