Wow, so many pretty things to catch up on!! Tiger, terrific Tahitians! Ugh, I sure hope they are able to resolve your AC issue soon! BWeaves, those blues look great together! I have a short strand from PP that is similar to that, I think. Your earrings pair so nicely with them. Ooo, CatMom...

A creative way to work your beading magic with pearls, Pearls&Pugs! Marianne, on this forum, has created some beautiful beaded pieces with SOC mabe. If she sees this, maybe she would be willing to post her necklace. I might have a pic from one of the Ruckuses, but I would have to dig.

Thank you, Pomelo! Hmmm… from Takahashi, I have the golden Akoya strand, the natural white, and then pinked white Akoya strands in slightly differing overtones. Then I have a few vintage strands that were either inherited or gifts. I had to think about your question as to why I choose which one...

Thanks so much, lary007! They are 10.4-10.6. Looking forward to seeing all your new pearls!!!

Thanks, Jeremy, BWeaves and CatMom! I love the little turtle clasp, too! Sarah had a few different creatures, but my favorite was the turtle. In fact, the necklace originally had another creature on it and she graciously changed it out to the turtle for me. Thank you for the sweet compliment...

Thanks so much, 2thdktr! BWeaves, you’re doing quite well with your impulse buys! The Pomme de la Mer and new blue Akoya pendant…!!! Fantastic! Red, I always love seeing your unique pieces. The keshi are so colorful, and set off by the setting and gemstones. Really a wow! Pomelo, I love...

Thank you, Pomelo! The baroque natural grey Akoya studs are 10.51mm. They are actually pretty roundish to the eye. I have several pairs of studs from Takahashi including another pair of baroque natural grey that are 9-9.5 that I tend to wear more often. I love the silvery blue color on the ears...

Thank you, BWeaves and CatMom! Yeah, I guess it’s hard to get any sympathy when it was such a fantastic stash to play with. Ahhhh, dreamy goldens, Red! My all time favorites are those golden keshi. I remember standing by you when we were looking in that very very special box. BWeaves, I love...

I love it, BWeaves!!! I think it’s super gorgeous!

I am guessing the weight would be pretty comparable if you had the same size in any type of large bead nucleated pearl- SS, Tahitian, Edison, but just a guess. The largest pair of studs I have is a pair of SS that are 12.7mm. I haven’t changed any of my earring backs out, but I find the earring...

Thanks so much, BWeaves, Pearls&Pugs and CatMom! BWeaves, you are pulling off a glamorous June Cleaver vibe! Red, I love feather pearls, and I really love the lumpy shape of your new pendant! (That sounds unflattering and it’s not meant to be!) I made this tin cup last night with my dwindling...

Thanks so much, BWeaves, CatMom and Pearls&Pugs! CatMom, the blues are so pretty and the blue Akoya and Silvery blue Tahitian work so nicely together! BWeaves, that strand has such vivid purples! Super wow! Pearls&Pugs, what a pretty set that makes! Does your husband make all the jewelry...

I received my pair of Kasumi from the PP/Kasumi live event! I had them set as studs. They are a bit color shifty and the perfect size for me.:giggle:

I love this thread, Pomelo! Your question has generated posts from long timers as well as those of you fairly new to posting on PG. I am really enjoying seeing everyone’s choices and/or hearing their thoughts. Where have you been hiding Pearls&Pugs? I am very sentimental about pearls, too, and...

Bubbles Tahitian strand and sister strand from Kojima-

The T’s are so nice and glossy, BWeaves! Tahitian keshi necklace from Cees, a Tahitian keshi bracelet I knotted with pearls dear CathyKeshi gave me, and MOP earrings from Hawaii.

Pomelo, your danglies are a perfect example of knowing your own style, what you love and what you will wear. They look fantastic on you! I have created a lot of opportunities for myself through travels and through getting to know so many wonderful people in the pearl world, and so often it’s...

That’s a beautiful strand of Tahitians to start your collection, Pomelo! I’m afraid my answer will be long-winded and not very direct.:rolleyes: My collection is more by eras. I did a little walk down memory lane and took a pic of the jewelry I wore through some of HS, all of college, and...

Thanks Douglas! Lots of women wear the Koa and Tahitian necklaces in Hawaii, so I was inspired by seeing a lot of them while watching the local TV. All Tahitian pieces I put together-

Thank you, BWeaves! And lovely ”pistakios” to you!! A bracelet of J. Hunter Fiji pearls from PP, a necklace I put together with Fiji pearls from Cees, and a necklace I made with Koa beads from Hawaii.
