Love a good ombre strand, jeg! Here's my pearls for today. Baroque silver-blue tahitian strand from Pearl Paradise and silver-blue tahitian keshi earrings from Aloha Pearls on Etsy.

Love calico cat! That is the perfect name for sure. Makes me think of my calico cat I had when I was a kid. She was the sweetest!

I was perusing Etsy (dangerous business) and came across what looks to be a really nice quality south sea keshi necklace from a US-based seller. She only had one prior sale but the price was fantastic IMO so I ordered it. I like ordering from new sellers personally. Their prices are usually...

All of it is just exquisite, jeg! I've been looking at Takahashi's Instagram for a while.. when you purchase from them do you just direct message them or do they have a website?

Here's what I'm wearing today. A new freshadama metallic strand from Pearl Paradise (that I have been waiting 7 whole years to find) and a white south sea ring also from Pearl Paradise.

@SurfnSci beautiful necklace! I have been following cmw for a while and they really do have some fantastic pearls. @jeg your pearls, as always, are inspirational! That ring especially catches my eye. Here is what I'm wearing today. All from Pearl Paradise. Baby tahitian pendant, drop threader...

That is just stunning, @MotherOfPearlTrumpet! I'm a few days late, but here's a picture of my mabe.

I adore mabe pearls and vintage/antique jewelry so these are a great find in my opinion! I do have one Sea of Cortez mabe that was made into a pendant, but I don't have a picture since I'm at work. If I think about it later I'll try to post a picture of it!

Pareltje, just stunning! That strand looks like it's made of pieces of candy and the earrings are magical of course. jeg, everything you own is drool-worthy.

Not sure about it's origin, but it's a charming piece!

Those are incredible finds! I don't think I've ever seen any good quality pearls in an antique store before.

I wear bracelets everywhere including to work, but I am a banker so I'm definitely not doing too much damage by wearing them. Like you said, bracelets and rings are for the wearer and I like to gaze often. If they were lesser quality then I likely wouldn't want to wear them as often.

Those SS pearls are huge! Love it. I also like how you paired them with the comparatively tiny keshis.

I just went though and read this entire thread and you have some beauties, multichrome! I have some tahitians from wen too and love them.

Yikes.. that is definitely annoying. I haven't had any issues lately.

jeg Drooooooool. That strand is just killer.

Congratulations! That is a lovely pendant. Do you know what kind of gemstone is used? It compliments the pearl beautifully. It's hard to say what I'd go for first. I gather a lot of us start off with round white pearls, but after years of collecting it's hard to say what you would have picked...

My circled tahitians today! Looks like everyone's been bitten by the tahitian bug lately. Love them all!

Good read. Makes me treasure my pearls even more.

Wow! It really is awesome. Love the stone.
