I grew up doing crafty things, especially in miniature, so that was a bit of an advantage. It does take some practice and good tools. You should give it a try pearlgirl12!

They are very complimentary, BWeaves! Deep lavender FW pearls from one of PP’s HK Live events. They were loose pearls in a bracelet length that I made into a tin cup. A tourmaline necklace and earrings I made. The little center tourmaline was a gift from the vendor. I haven’t decided if I’m...

BWeaves- love the full Kojima and new pearl vocabulary! Looking forward to seeing you all at the PP/Takahashi Live Event later today! Wearing a multi-colored Tahitian strand from Hawaii, Japan Kasumi golden drop earrings from Kojima, and a Tahitian tin cup I put together.

lary007, if you use one of the little enhancer clasps you can hang any of your pendants from that toggle.

Thanks so much CatMom, lary007, pearlgirl12, and BWeaves! I took that pic a couple weeks ago, so here’s more Akoya from Takahashi from a few days ago- P.S. pearlgirl12- you are a crack up. There is such a variety of pearls to choose from, you can never have enough pearls. All from Takahashi...

Thanks so much, Steve! That pearl and setting make such a unique necklace BWeaves! I have your number lary007! And you probably have mine, too, given the purchases.;) That Live Kasumi event was fantastic!!! Wow, that teaser from Takahashi… so many choices! I can’t wait to see what they decide...

Aaakkkkk… I can’t keep up with all the posts! BWeaves, that’s always been one of my favorite pendants of your’s. Great choices Steve and Tiger! The drops are so pretty! Pearlgirl12, I remember those necklaces! I just love the way Kojima pieces are so creatively mixed. Steve, I have 3...

What a great little clip! Only one farmer remaining, and to man the entire operation himself, is truly incredible. These pearls are such special little treasures!

Thanks so much, SurfnSci!

Thanks lary007!! :giggle: BWeaves, the new earrings look just perfect with your enhancer! I’m glad you got them! It’s spring! I made this long rope and bracelet from these extra long temp strands of FW’s I got at the first PBTB. Worn with Peek-a-Boo earrings. All from Kojima.

You should finish it lary007! Just think of how much fun you’ll have wearing it. I’ve been seeing lots of big baroque white freshwater pearls used as pendants and pendant charms.

And just for fun, here are some strands- Pink Akoya in front from Takahashi, natural white Akoya near rounds in the middle from Takahashi, and white SS Paspaley pearls from Cees in the back.

:giggle: Thanks CatMom!!

Oh, thank you, pearlgirl12! I just love all the vintage pieces I have from Kojima/Pacific Pearls. You just never know what might surface from their archives. Here’s another coral piece that Sarah put together while in their Hong Kong office several years ago. Worn with a baroque blue Akoya...

Well, what makes junk junk now might be treasures later. Baroque pearls, blue Akoya, keshi… were all considered less desirable at one time.

Thanks SurfnSci and BWeaves! Oh, SurfnSci, I haven’t been to the Big Island in a few years- how fun! I’m a huge fan of Alex’s tiny T‘s. Gorgeous! As well as your SOC… Cathy, Percy Pearl is “Perky” Percy Pearl. Just look at those ears! He is always on high alert. Soooo adorable!

Thank you CatMom, Steve and Douglas! Sometimes half the fun is in putting random pieces together.:D Golden SS pendant from Katbran, Baggins Akoya wave necklace, multi-colored Akoya bracelet from Takahashi, and a mixed Akoya necklace I put together with pearls from Druzy.

Congratulations! Enjoy wearing your new earrings. Here’s a color comparison of some of my studs, but I don’t think of any as being more formal over the other. I’m not one to have any rules for pearl wearing.:giggle: White SS- natural white Akoya- pinked Akoya (all from Takahashi)

Thank you Douglas, BWeaves and CatMom! I agree CatMom, I do love the multi-colored strands. Beautiful soap bubbly blues, BWeaves! And of course, the rings!! What a fun rope of black and white, CatMom! It looks great, and I hope your other hand is on the quick mend so you can get back to more...

An added bonus- typically Takahashi does not do returns, although I would have no need as everything I have received has been fantastic. But for the Live Events, Pearl Paradise is sending all the pearls out for your approval and will handle any returns. Hope you have a chance to tune in. Watch...
