Linda, what a beautiful moonstone! Look at that blue flash.

SydK love your restrung akoyas with the ruby spacer beads. I’ve been in a ruby phase myself recently. 86C I’ve never seen bracelets like those. What a smart buy 40 years ago! Good luck with the biopsy. I’m paying the price now for my suntanning youth. I haven’t been out in the sun for 30...

I have so much to catch up on in this group. I’ve been distracted by coronavirus tracking and politics and haven’t done much of anything with pearls. I had to laugh at 86C being on Ban Island, I’ve been there, too. When I had to cancel all of my reservations to Paris, I thought, okay, I’ll...

They look like the same kind of pearls as those in a ring that I found among my mother’s things. The ring is probably from the 1930s. The back of the pearl looks more like a tooth than anything else.

The clasp indicates that they are from Honora Pearls. They sell freshwater pearls primarily, maybe even exclusively, and can be found in many department and jewelry stores. Looking at their website is appears that 14kg clasps are used on their better freshwater strands.

You’re all such a pearly inspirations. I mostly seem to be wearing either my nighttime pajamas or my daytime pajamas. Today, because hair salons are closed, I colored and cut my own hair. I felt so energized with the grey gone that I put on lipstick, a fwp pendant and earrings and walked down...

CathyKeshi, that pendant is beautiful, like a Fabergé egg. BWeaves, I love the pearl and emerald Hisano pendant. Emeralds are my birthstone so, like pearls, I can’t have too many.

What a great job and looks beautiful on you!

Wow, what a difference a bath made.

Boncuk and lizard, how did I miss seeing these strands! They’re gorgeous? Well done, ladies.

Great choices, ladies! I put a strand in my shopping cart and then talked myself out of it. When I look in my pearl drawer, I see so much redundancy that I’m afraid of buying and then regretting my choice, i’ve had some pearl disappointments recently.

I love metallic freshwaters. Such a pretty strand!

Gemandpearlover, I have a lot of white pearls, too, and I love them, really, but I never wear any of them. I think because I associate them with formal occasions. I don’t know anyone among my circle of friends who wears pearls, although I’m certain they all have a strand of akoyas tucked away...

Whereas I always feel grittiness when testing akoya and freshwater pearls, I rarely do with South Sea pearls or Tahitians.

Jeg, I second the compliments on your your GSS harvest strand with that jacket. I love the combo of tomato red and GSS pearls. So smart looking!

Bree was more of a white akoya kind of gal, wasn’t she?

AzFlyGirl, your WSS and T necklace from Cees is gorgeous, and I love the grey Ts. I think grey must be THE color right now. Gemandpearlover, great bargain on those pre-loved akoyas. The two strand go so well together and I’m sure you’ll wear them often.

Great multi colors, eolian! I bought a strand of her “pastels”, too. They’re not pastel, but they are very nice multi-colors. Wen has had some nice Tahitians recently and I like the changes she’s made In how they’re pictured.

Such tiny keshi! Lovely necklace.

SydK, what nice big shiny Tahitians, and nice knotting! Wen has had some nice Tahitians recently.
