As usual, I'm drooling over everyone else's pearls. The Swan from Pacific Pearls in a setting from a local jeweler. When I bought this unusual, leaf shaped, baroque pearl, I thought it was going to be white. I was so surprised when it arrived and was so colorful. The back side is also...

They look like imitation pearls to me, too. It's odd that they would use a clasp for 2 strands of pearls and only string one strand on it.

I'm getting a Swarovski faux pearl vibe off these pearls. Swarovski made good fake pearls in wild colors. They used a glass bead, so very heavy. I actually bought some "Tahitian" colored Swarovski pearls to see if I would like Tahitians. I gave them away as soon as I saw real Tahitians...

Oh my! The next PP Live event is July 10th, my BIRTHDAY. And it's Kojima. I'm doomed. I better start saving up now.

RED: Your pieces are always stunning and unique. JEG: Everything gorgeous, as usual. The turtle clasp is adorable. Pomelo: I love the keshi studs. Flat to the ear, so you get a big pearl look with less weight. The nacre on keshi and baroques is much thicker than on round pearls, but I...

I know there's a PP South Sea Live Event today, so I'm wearing my best SS pearls to remind myself what I already have. Mom's white SS pearl drop earrings from Mayor's Jewelers, I think. Pomme de la Mer pendant from the PP Hong Kong Live Event. Quite the impulse buy, but I get so many...

Well, now that you mention it. 17 inch strand of 9 mm Vietnamese baroque akoyas from PP. I bought these years ago, probably at a Ruckus. They have extremely thick nacre and loose nuclei, which makes stringing a challenge.

I have a type.

Wearing my new Takahashi BBA pendant today. The 2 pearls are insanely blue. They glow blue like the spines on the back of Godzilla Minus One right before he goes nuclear with his death ray. It's a great summer pearl.

My monster ear nuts are just the big round metal ones. Although for larger pearls, the kind you have would be great to prevent droop.

I don't think they're going to vary that much in weight, unless they're soufflés (hollow). I think comfort comes from what your earlobe can handle, plus a nice big ear nut on the back, so the stud stays up and doesn't droop. I replace the backs on all my earrings with monster sized ear nuts.

RED: Stunning!!!!!

My buyer's remorse just arrived, and I love it. The Takahashi blue baroque pendant. I'm still having a bit of buyer's remorse on this one, because it was such an impulse buy. But it's so unique compared to all my other pendants, and the blues are soooooo blue. Insanely blue. My kinda...

They're beautiful, JEG. Somehow, I don't feel sorry for your dwindling stash. You had an awesome stash.

Get well soon Douglas. Digging into my lesser worn pearls today. Coin pearl strand from Karen Brown Jewelry, restrung with Mom's clasp. Betty Davis' Teeth keshi strand from Kojima. I watched a Betty Davis movie right after buying this strand, the pearls and gold rondel beads reminded me of...

Red, it's always great to see you and your pearls. You have some gorgeous and unique pieces. I was wondering who got that large lavender Kasumi pearl. I'm glad to see it's still in the Pearl Guide family.

I'm 100% little h chested today. Emerald and soufflé' pearl Finestrino enhancer on emerald and seed pearl tin-cup. Emerald and seed pearl Geode earrings. I love that they don't match, but they go. I dithered over whether to buy these earrings forever. I'm glad I finally did.

WOW!

Well, that covers almost everything, hahaha.

OOOO, I love blues! Today it's my Eclipse Edison necklace from PP. Kasumi pendants as earrings. Hisano's Favorite and the one from Sarah at Kojima. These don't even register as pearls to me. They look like oil slicked metal. I love them.
