Thank you, CatMom! Oh, those tiny pearls are so sweet! I love the look! I had a bit of a pendant palooza and chose several individual pearls for Sarah to set in simple bails. The two to the left are FW, and the three to the right are Kasumi. Wearing the large FW and the small Kasumi with...

Whoa, those are big and are going to look great on you! I am no help with this as I have never worn any type of earrings that big. I would think you’d maybe want the bottoms smoothed out with large cups covering the back side.

Thanks so much, CatMom! Adorable pendant, lary007, and BWeaves, those T’s look fantastic together! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, too, Douglas! Another piece from the Kojima studio visit. A Kasumi keshi strand with a feather pearl pendant. Worn with baroque grey Akoya studs from Takahashi...

BWeaves, the carvings on the jade are a different Asian symbol. The “wheel” spins counterclockwise, as opposed to a Swastika that spins clockwise. But it is unfortunate what became known as the Swastika so closely resembles these ancient symbols. Oh, I so envy your PJ and pearl day! I’ve been on...

I had a lot of fun, and of course, I didn’t return home without pearls from the Kojima studio. More pearls to come but here’s a start… Pearl stuffed seashell on sapphire beads, and Tahitian studs. I made the tin cup chain with tiny T’s from Alex Collins.

The earrings look great with your pendant, BWeaves! Catmom, the goldens are bright and sunny and look cheery for your muggy days. Thanks Pattye! We had a fantastic time as always playing in the studio and trying on so many pearls! Here we go- Studio pics-

They are beautiful in all seasons, BWeaves! I flew down to San Francisco for a long weekend. Guess where Bunny and I have been hanging out playing with oodles of pearls?!

Thanks Douglas!! I love them, Pomelo! Tiny T’s are so special and they look fantastic with your bigger strand. Wow, you sure wouldn’t have a problem wearing large studs either! The faux buttons work really well for you, and of course I love those keshi T’s. Gorgeous!

All great combos, BWeaves! Thanks so much, CatMom! Yes, tin cups are definitely lighter. Time to get your wire-wrapping tools out!:D Spring pearl mix rope from Kojima, an Edison pendant from PP, and earrings I made.

lary007, your ring turned out beautifully! That pendant is so gorgeous, SteveM! And pearlgirl12, whoa, I love your blue Akoya! So many happy finds!!!

I love the new Takahashi pendants, BWeaves and lary007! Really charming, beautiful and wearable. Congratulations Pearls&Pugs! The goldens are gorgeous for celebrating! Well, I haven’t been wearing pearls because I have been hanging out with a different social circle compulsively playing...

Well, the good news is, you can’t go wrong! My personal preference is for yellow gold in either of the 2 emeralds.

Awww, thank you, lisa!!

Ok, so this conversation is whizzing over my head, but I am wearing keshi and I know I love them!! :LOL: Golden SS keshi strand from Takahashi, and a rope I knotted with SS keshi from a Hong Kong show.

Pomelo, I was in Japan this past fall and was able to visit the Mikimoto Museum and also Takahashi. I posted pics of both visits in the Pearl Industry News thread. I did not go to the Pearl Museum in Kobe. We took the train from Nagoya to Toba for Mikimoto Island, and I took the train from Osaka...

Hahaha! I remember the deer park from when I was there as a kid!

OOOOO, lary007 and pearlgirl12, I am looking forward to seeing your new pieces. Woo hoo!
