Great strand, and really suits you - congrats

I love them both, great job.

They are so delicate and pretty. How lovely to be able to restore them for a friend.

Business casual for a rare trip into the office last week.

What fun the Morse code is! And the plum thread is great with the dyed Akoya, which are such an unusual colour. I have had sitting in my Etsy cart for a few days some Beaders Secret thread in Persian Turquoise from Bernadette’s shop, which looks like it will be a slightly brighter version of...

Thanks everyone for you comments on my fireball. I’m really enjoying my pendants at the moment. 86C, so glad it went well! Lilpearl, great layers. Love the green mix, Bweaves, and the combination of shapes with that neckline. I’ve seen your new ombré on the Kojima site, and it’s spectacular...

The luster on your white SS is just so lovely, Jeg and Bweaves. I know I don’t have the kind of lifestyle in which big white pearls would be likely to be in high rotation, but gosh I like the silvery sheen of white SS. 86C, fingers crossed for the very best possible outcome for you! Jeg, can’t...

Wow, they are beautiful and look great on you.

So, just because I don’t wear golden pearls doesn’t mean I don’t have a shortlist of them just in case I should change my mind... Here are my current greenish-gold/ goldish-green favourites on Etsy (you know, just in case anyone here needs inspiration to buy more pearls!)

Thanks all for your comments on my new pendant. I really am pleased with the quirky shape and shiny surface. Jeg, I love that golden combo - golden SS are not for me (I’m too pink and the effect is clashy), but I always admire them on others, and they look great on you. Your comment about me...

And here are the pearls I’m actually wearing today, since this is an “in action” thread

Bweaves, great minds think alike - I also bought a rainbow pink freshwater drop pendant this week (well, actually a couple of weeks ago, but it arrived yesterday). And, in an act of pure mimicry, here’s my group shot with a Tahitian pendant and a slightly bigger and more wrinkled pink...

Ann G, that pendant is spectacular. I think drop-shape is my favourite for pearls. Love the pink thread on those keshi.

I love it all - the birthday strand, the spectacular torsade, the light and airy tin cups, and the gorgeous colours in that random strand of Tahitians. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Fingers crossed that the hurricane misses you all.

Oh my, they look wonderful on you! And they are so well matched. Is that strand knotted, or are those bumpers in between the pearls?

Imagine a row of heart-eyes emojis here - I love this. You’ve done a fabulous job arranging them. I love the way they look doubled, but if they were mine, I think I would want to wear them long so I could enjoy the colours and admire my handiwork. :)

Wow, they are amazing! Please post a picture when you get them.

That is a very cool bead. Congratulations on your innovative solution to the problem of the large drill hole - what a great idea.

They are all lovely. Your pearl collection has been beautifully curated with a quality and varied selection of pieces.

Lol, Fred looks fab! Thinking of you all down in Melbourne and hoping things turn around soon - though lockdown over the border here in NSW looks ever more likely.
