Thank you so much Charlotta.

Coming up with an outfit for a charity art auction I'm a part of has been a fun part of the day(or should I say night, I've been working since early yesterday). My Mikimoto accessories came in also so I have a good selection of charms, pendants, and brooches to choose from. Here's what I came up...

Thank you BWeaves!

Here are two looks I put together in a rush this afternoon, finally deciding on the blazer over the leather as it seemed more fitting and appropriate with the rope. Introducing my 70" Akoya rope and once again my WSS strand. Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

Here I am in my most recent purchases, a white South Sea strand and a Siam ruby bracelet. Couldn't be any happier with either of them. The WSS strand is so easy to wear casually like this or formally over a white dress shirt, it's incredible to me.

I came across this certification when doing research on my WSSP strand a few months ago. I believe the fact there there is so little real information about this certification floating around is that there are so few pearls and strands that get to achieve the level required to meet the standard...

I think you made the right choice as well, or at least the one that I would have. I like creamy and softer coloured pearls, especially vintage, but there's something about the colour of these new Akoya's that really does it for me. They're almost almost blingy in their silver tones.

I should try to read up what I can from the book, it's a shame I'm only just finding out about it now. It really seems excellent from what I've been reading so far! I recently acquired another necklace with a clasp I thought I would share. It's done in yellow gold and jade and I was just 10...

So the strand from Cees should be arriving later today and I'm ecstatic. The pictures themselves were great so I can't wait to see them in person. Since my last posting I've also acquired some more necklaces, I was hoping to get an opinion on them actually. First is a 70" 7mm strand. I'm...

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it! Here’s a more “fashion formal” look with my older fresh water strand. I can’t wait to take photos like this with my Akoyas and WSSPs, I have a whole wardrobe waiting to be experimented with. This look is particularly “fashion week after-party” esque...

A little bit more contemporary than when worn over the collar of a dress shirt, but I find this size quite casual and to pair greatly with my all black outfits. 18” Mikimoto sub line - Sea Magic as I await my two sets of WSSP.

Charlotta, those vintage clasps are absolutely stunning! I found one of a similar style on ebay not too long ago but the seller wanted far more than I was willing to pay unfortunately. And Jeg, I’m a fan of the way that clasp works so well with the pearls themselves, almost like they're made for...

Hey everyone. I only recently started acquiring higher grade pearl necklaces, but before the pearls themselves I would always notice the clasp. I fell in love with the yellow gold filligree style clasp that Mikimoto used on their Sea Magic line and I’m now trying to hunt down a few for my...

Thank you lisa c for adjusting the photos! And it's just my collar length and the length of the necklace working together in harmony. There's a slight bit of tension on the necklace as it tries to roll down towards the very bottom of the collar all the way around and it never quite reaches below...

My first Akoya necklace arrived, finally. Here are some photos. It wears quite neatly against my collared shirts and quality is far beyond what I’m used to. I’m now waiting for a WSSP necklace from Cees in a larger size, I’m quite excited to compare the quality between these two and another...

I'll definitely post some higher resolution photos once it arrives, hopefully tomorrow or early next week. I've also decided I'd like to play with lengths longer than 18" but it's difficult finding a quality necklace that fits into my budget after all these potential buys are added up on my...

From the photos posted on the page it was quite hard to see the quality, so I just took a bit of a gamble from what little I was able to make of them. Unless they arrive looking completely off of the grainy photos provided I think I'll be happy, but I'm expecting generic middle of the line...

I'm currently on the hunt for unique and/or vintage clasps and that looks exactly like something I'd love to own. It's beautiful!

I'm definitely leaning towards it being an authentic clasp despite the unique silver hallmark, but I await any one elses opinion patiently. But yes Pearl Dreams, you're absolutely right, it desperately needs a restring! This is something I had planned on giving a shot if I went with it, but I...

Hey again. So some progress has been made in my search and a few more options have come up that are in my price range which is now comfortably in the Akoya range. I have some more questions that I'm hoping to get an opinion on again. Firstly, is this an authentic silver vintage Mikimoto clasp...
