    I'm so far inland on Ban Island I shouldn't even watch any more live events 😆

    Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

    I am wearing the veggie tin cup, tahitian drop pendant, and tahitian threader earrings today but my picture kinda cropped them out. Apparently the veggies catch the eye of men because my husband, the spine doctor I saw this morning, and one of my male co-workers ALL not only noticed this...

    Anyone ever heard of Sakata Pearls in Ginza Tokyo?

    I just stumbled back on this thread. My husband's grandmother that I talked about at the beginning of this page passed away a few years ago and one of the many things she left for me was that brooch. I treasure it and do wear it from time to time!

    Got some pictures of my Sea of Cortez mabe ring today! I am STOKED! I love it so much, especially the satin finish on the gold. PP is sending it out tomorrow. EEK!

    Jeg, those kasumis are stunning! What size are they? I love that pendant, bweaves! I am absolutely thrilled that you got it. It's a unique setting and the pearls are to die for. I'm still waiting to receive my golden keshi pendant from Takahashi. I can't wait to see it. They probably would...

    If you could only have five pieces, what would they be and why?

    Interesting question... I think the tahitian strand I and pendant is mostly because of they are easy for me to wear. The edison ring and the souffle probably made the list for a mixture of what I wear frequently and because I view them as remarkable or something that would be harder to...

    If you could only have five pieces, what would they be and why?

    I am going to try to answer your question. I won't lie - it gives me real anxiety at the thought of getting rid of most of my pearls! And the truth is that my "favorites" usually change depending on the season and what necklines I'm wearing. I do sell pearls I no longer find myself drawn to, (I...

    @BWeaves - I think the mabes would make a great ring/pendant combo personally. Idk what it is, but the tone of the white and the smoothness of the surface is really really pretty to me.

    I just got the CAD images back of what my SoC mabe ring will look like! I took a lot of inspiration from Red's mabe ring (hope you don't mind!), but it's a simpler design. I am hoping to have the finished piece by mid to late June. I can't wait to show y'all when it gets here. I unfortunately...

    I don't know how you decided which direction to face forward for either of those pearls. They are really magnificent and look great together and with the pendant.

    I have gone maybe a little crazy and ordered 4 different green gemstones to pick from and set with my more drop-shaped golden. A Swat Valley emerald, Zambian emerald, demantoid garnet, and a mint grossular garnet. I figure whatever I don't use for this pendant, I can use in other projects. I...

    I decided on this white gold pendant setting for the darker near round golden. I got it off etsy. When I put the yellow gold settings that I already have up to the pearl it just didn't look good.

    I made the akoyas into earrings today! I had originally planned to use white gold but the white gold posts I had were too thick for the hole that was already in the pearls. I'm still just as happy with the yellow gold though!

    The akoyas are going to be made into one of two things - threader earrings or maybe just put onto a bit of chain with a jump ring at the end so that I can put them on as earring jackets with my natural white studs à la @jeg The shape on the more drop shaped golden screams "I'm a pendant" to...

    I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where we can show our purchases from PP's live events. I'll start with my most recent! All of these are from Takahashi. Two golden south sea loose pearls and a pair of gem grade natural white akoyas. I love them all! And you can see how...
