Strand of Tahitians I bought in Kobe when I visited nearly two months ago (!). I need to do a write up of my trip as I had an amazing time doing pearl and jewellery related things. It’s interesting how the centre pearl looks obviously off-round when placed down, but is not so obvious when...

What beautiful GSS keshis @jeg ! The way the colours range from a light champagne to almost a rose gold tone. Just delightful 😍

@jeg your mabe earrings look like they're liquid... magic potion! Beautiful @SurfnSci your Kamoka strand has such wonderful colours :love:

The colours are fantastic, and the strand looks so good with the alternating light, medium and dark body colour! A beautiful multicolour strand :love:

Wearing my new lustrous drop-shaped 7-8mm akoya from Flower Jem with my keshi T studs. I caught my reflection in a public toilet mirror today (sorry TMI) and was amazed by the luster on the akoya! It’s hard to capture how beautiful they are. The strand is knotted with navy thread and I...

T Your baby akoya hoops pack so much punch! And they look great with your GSS too - I think they seem like the ultimate versatile hoop!

Wow, the colours on your abalone pearl! And the shark-tooth like shape & size too! Hisano would have much better ideas than me, but if I may indulge in fantasy myself… due to its size, I’d be tempted to set it east-west in a bangle so I can admire it all day long. Or, east-west in a ring so...

Thank you! I’m now curious as to what they’re like if they are polished… might do a little experiment Thank you! Thankfully I didn’t pay much for them haha

Hi all, I was intrigued by a strand at auction and it was cheap enough for my curiosity to get the better of me. Please can I ask your expert eyes on what types of pearls these are? When I bought them at auction, I thought they were: abalone (but are they mabe due to the flat bottom? Most...

Ooh this is a great idea, thanks @jeg I’m loving the idea of some asymmetrical multicolours, multishapes and multisizes!

Wearing my baroque multicolour SS strand today. I got lazy and didn’t take off the diamond pendant, and I’m liking the way they stack!

@jeg this is stunning! Not only are the strands gorgeous (delicious gobstopper T’s with akoya (?) “chain”) but the styling is *chefs kiss* Are the T’s 14-15mm? The proportions are lovely!

Hahaha fondling pearls is the best pastime, what a wonderful phrase!

Thanks! Very interesting that you think a multi coloured strand matches more skin tones and outfits, as I am concerned about the opposite! I guess what I’m trying to figure out is whether I “need” a strand of multi coloured pearls when I’m very happy with my peacock strands already… and now...

Hehe thanks Douglas! So rare to see a pearl with intense red overtones!

Thanks jeg, your pearl collection is TDF :love: do you find whether you reach for highly saturated strands (high colour intensity) or less saturated strands?

Thanks @KarinK, I think you’ve verbalised what I’m struggling with - I think the intense colours look amazing against a white/grey background, but I’m just not sure how it looks against my skin, especially since T’s look so different in various lighting! I’ve been thinking whether to buy a...

Hehe I love how you have so much fun with your pearls!

Interesting point about the formality of white pearls! I was at a wedding yesterday and saw strands of white pearls on a quarter or a third of female guests, but no Tahitians. It was a pretty informal wedding and I would’ve loved to see some T’s!

Thanks, yes I hear you - non uniformity adds visual interest indeed!
