Today I did a "more is more" tahitian look. Shorter strand from PP, pendant from Jac, and longer strand from wenpearls on etsy. Ps - please excuse the salad dressing stains on my shirt from lunch 🤣 Bweaves - how did you decide to set the kasumi?

@BWeaves - I ADORE that tin cup! Looks great paired with everything. @jeg - lovely as always! Also a perfect rainy day ensemble. Also.. I just saw a picture of some of the pearls being offered on PP's next live event. I saw pistachio and I am PUMPED. I will gleefully jump off Ban Island for...

I agree with pearl dreams!

@BWeaves I think that Kasumi pearl is definitely a keeper! I'm also excited for/worried about the baroque akoya event. I'm glad you got your mikis back, too!

Yes! I saved two beads that are different colors but otherwise basically the same for some dangle earrings. I'm waiting on the parts and pieces to come in!

Yes, very heavy!

Good to know! I have a pearl I need to remove from a pendant. I'll try this out!

Did you use the microwave method to soak them off or something different?

I'm not sure about these but hopefully someone with more knowledge on Mikimoto can help.

Today I'm wearing some big Chinese ripples and a baroque blue akoya tin cup bracelet, both from Pure Pearls.

Thanks, bweaves! I will contact them now. I hope it didn't get sent to the next person! Update: the lovely Inta got me taken care of!

@BWeaves I love seeing side by side comparisons of strands! And about the pistachio (pistakio) tahitians...I was really surprised when Mr. Seki said in the live that pistachio colors are not usually popular in the Asian market like they are in western markets. He was such a fountain of...

This is cool!

I got a drop shaped chocolate tahitian from Pearl Paradise during one of their live events a few months ago. They only had 2 in the whole show. I've never seen a vendor keep them in stock on their website - only dyed ones.

Thanks everybody 😀

I finished a project today. I saw these handmade veggie glass beads on etsy a few months ago and bought them without having a clue what to do with them. I've had these tahitians for a while. They've previously been in both a bracelet and a tin cup necklace. I think it's super fun and I think...

Beautiful bracelet, @CatMom ! I think Ban Island must be close to Tahiti and Japan because we all keep sneaking off to purchase their goodies on a fairly regular basis.

I vote earrings!

Today I'm wearing rainbow-ish drop shaped edisons in the revamped blossom setting from PP and a little h souffle with rubies. The colors on the earrings just dont come across in my pictures.

@BWeaves - a hemostat! Genius. I was doing some rearranging for a new project last night and kept dropping pearls and glass beads on the floor. I'll try the long dress thing tonight. Also, the beachy long necklace is *chef's kiss*!! @jeg - I hope you have the best time in Paris! @CathyKeshi -...
