Hehe thank you. I’m having a lot of fun going through a few pages of the thread every night for inspiration :love:

Loving your top five pieces! Both the sentimentality as well as some jaw-dropping pearls - that Tahitian, Edison and soufflé! Aside from your freshwater strand, do you find that you wear your top pieces the most, or you chose them because the pearls are remarkable specimens? The reason is...

Hehe, I’d love to see your fancy akoya and oxidised base metal look! Sounds like a great juxtaposition

Yes to eyes wide open! I’m currently going through the 1,000+ pages of Show Me Your Pearls to learn from everyone :geek:

I love that you’re so disciplined to have just one of each! And after a bit of stalking, I saw you posted this photo a few years ago… what a wonderful pearl rainbow When you talk about upgrading, what aspect are you most keen on upgrading (luster, size etc)?

Thanks, I definitely need to catch the PP live events for educational purposes! I’m not based in the US and international shipping/returns is always a pain…

Thanks for the compliment @SteveM ! I guess I’ve been obsessed with jewellery (mostly diamond and signed pieces) for a long time, so I have an inkling as to what I like. But I must say, I haven’t used my grey cells this creatively in a long time! The variety of pearls is staggering and I want...

Thanks @jeg for the wise words. Must’ve brought back memories when you went through jewellery by era! Just wondering how you create those opportunities to see and learn about amazing pearls? Even if it’s “just luck”, I believe that we create our own luck :) To your point, I think it takes...

Thanks @BWeaves , it’s a real conundrum because pearls are so varied! It’s like the full spectrum of gemstones under one umbrella. Hehe very interesting that both you and @Pearl Dreams prefer non-round shapes. I feel like I’ve graduated to the “big” leagues regarding pearl shapes as I too...

Thank you for the really thoughtful and helpful reply! Breaking things down into shape, size, colour, lustre is great categorization. I think you’re right about buying too many things in a short space of time and “settling” - I was about to keep a baroque akoya strand which was just slightly...

Hello all, I’m inspired by your beautiful collections and am fighting hard not to buy everything I see! However, I’m curious to know: if you could only keep five pieces, what would they be and why? Bonus question (as I’m at the start of my pearly journey): if you could start your pearl...

Lovely strand and wow, that layering shot!!

@Pearl Dreams I’d love to see this necklace! Even better - do you have a before and after? Ahh gotcha, have to press “reply” multiple times and it adds automatically. Thanks!

Thanks! And absolutely, Tahitians are opening me up to a world of colour. I tend to prefer neutrals but Tahitians are amazing :love: And apologies, I wasn’t clear enough with my request for replying to posts - I’d like to multi-quote and reply to multiple posts in a single post of my own.

Thank you @Pearl Dreams @CathyKeshi @jeg for your feedback! I figured that I didn’t like the strand enough to keep it, mostly because after spending some time with it, I realised that I loved the way this strand photographs (that blue, the gold, the silver and peacock) but I didn’t like it on...

Hello all, longtime lurker (and admirer) here! I just received a multicolour strand and whilst I like the colours, there are three pearls that give me pause. They all seem to have had some “cracking” near the drill holes - please can I ask for your wisdom on what it is I’m seeing? Will this...
