    That’s a fun gift from your parents, eolian! The tails give it a spiky edgy look. A strand of silvery color banded Tahitians from PP, and a feather pearl on a Kasumi keshi necklace from Kojima.

    Your colour preferences for Tahitians and why?

    I’m glad you like the idea! I’d like to make one for myself! The only consideration would be weighting the asymmetry so the necklace stays centered.

    Your colour preferences for Tahitians and why?

    Pomelo, when I was pulling out some of my tin cups, I thought maybe you could start with a tin cup as an introduction to multi-colored Tahitians instead of a full strand?

    Thanks Douglas and Pomelo! Pomelo, I think the largest pearl in those strands is maybe around 13-14mm. BWeaves, I hope you love your new pearls. I absolutely love the color of abalone pearls. I had to catch up on the Live event late, but it reminded me to bring out my wild natural SOC. Two...

    Your colour preferences for Tahitians and why?

    Thanks, Pomelo! I don’t know that I wear any combination more over another. Visually, I think I’m personally attracted to strong body colors over overtone.

    How to age freshwater pearls

    If you have extra on hand and you are ok with experimenting with them… I used to dip dye plastic pearls and fabrics to give them an antique patina for craft projects I was working on. I used such things as tea, coffee and even black Ritz dye. Leave them sitting in the solution until you have the...

    Your colour preferences for Tahitians and why?

    Tahitians are my favorite pearl. I love every shape, every color, every size… I find that I wear my multi-colored strands over more uniform colored strands more often.

    Thanks so much, CatMom and pearlgirl12!! Fortunately it doesn’t get humid here, but I still only wear heavier strands if I’m going to be indoors during the summer. Those are beautiful complimentary blues, CatMom! And even more perfect to be able to combine your favorites! Wearing the large...

    Please show and tell, A Breaker!!:D Thanks, Pomelo! I don’t have specifics for the Tahitian, but I have a big golden SS drop (also from Kojima) that I know is 15mm x 18mm, and the Tahitian is a little bigger. I took a comparison pic and also pulled up a couple old pics of the T showing the...
