It is never wrong to prefer what you prefer. There is no "right" taste. I prefer my spinels with more silk than ideal, my cars smaller and cheaper, my sapphires lighter, my tea weaker and so on. Guess what? That is what appeals to me most and make me happier. Embrace the cool shapes, beautiful...

Gorgeous colours and it matches his shirt.

I get two seasons here: dry sauna (hot and dry, with no rain for 120 days) and wet sauna (not quite as hot but very muggy, with daily rain). I wear my pearls during both.

Doe the silvery pearls feel gritty at all?

It works beautifully with your top. I love the soft neckline and how they share shades of lavender.

You pill pushing spammer. I never got the glue needle right either.

How divine! Now, no one will see me for several days.

How interesting - I would never have guessed Mikimoto, even second line Mikimoto, from the finish on the strand. That kind of finding screams low quality to mean and that is not the case of Mikimoto's Blue Lagoon.

A very quick color correction on the first photo, assuming a white background.

Some bar spacers would be very helpful for a dog collar. They keep all the strands in place.

And I am here trying hard to pretend they don't exist, as they are too far above my pay grade. So beautiful!

Thank you for all the comments - it is interesting to see the thoughts behind the preferences. I have a sort of love/hate thing with magnetic clasps. Most look plain cheap. And if there is any safety mechanism, we are back to the fiddly thing again. I hadn't thought of a fold over. For some...

*sigh* I am still trying to figure out a clasp for a large Tahitian bracelet. Every clasp type just seems awkward to use (I am a cuff girl, personally). So, what kind of clasp do you guys prefer? Toggle, a substantial hook, box, something else?

The longer one is certainly the more modern look. Both are lovely. To me, it boils down to what function the earrings will have in your wardrobe (classic staple vs something more modern) and how they work with your features.

Congratulations on your upcoming 16th! :cool:

It looks beautiful and very classy. The corrugated beads add a little texture and interest, I think, contrasting with the pearls.

It is an easy repair: reinsert the nucleus in a shell, wait a while, harvest and it is as good as new ;)

Will she be able to fit a geode in there? So much nacre, so little space.

I often think tracking is more of a torture than a help.

A standing ovation to both gentlemen. The pearl world would be a lot poorer without the fruits of their labour.
