Lace and silk are obvious pearl accompaniments, which makes lingerie an ideal pairing, no? ;) This is a lovely freshwater tin cup necklace from Etsy shop LiliasTreasures (Thanks, battah!) and absolutely stunning rosy gold (with rose gold findings, naturally, love the hooks on these) ripple...

Stunning golden/lavender/pink (so lovely!) ripples just arrived from Wendy at Pearlescence. Great customer service from them! These are about 13mm, on gold hooks. Love! Wait 'til you see the strand that matches, will try to get a good close-up shot... ...forthcoming!

Was definitely inspired by doubledouble's recent post on 18 ways to wear 100" rope. (So awesome, linked here) http://www.theseventhsphinx.com/fashion/features/lady-lightning/http://www.theseventhsphinx.com/fashion/features/lady-lightning/ This is knotted in a psuedo bow. 6.5-7mm, from PP...

I picked up a long, long awaited PP Freshadama ring in the spring sale, and so pleased I opted to go for the 10mm size (which is pretty big, I would say! Even on my hand, which is not small). I requested an ivory tone. It's subtle, I think, but there. [paired here with a simple...

I've been hunting for some teardrops with a height/width ratio I really like, and these are about right (12x16mm). I wanted them quite fat (rather than long and thin). These are just shell earrings from eBay, costume pearls, but they have a great shine, and I wanted this look without the...

This could have gone in Pattye's white round strand challenge/thread, too! Though I'm not doing anything special with the styling of the strand here. Just...wearing it. Feel so glam in pearls and fur. This is a PP AAA 18" 8mm strand, ivory tones though I don't think you can really tell at...

I picked these up in PP's last promotion. Gold is basically my favorite color, so I was drawn to these akoyas, not so dark as some South Sea pearls (which I would love to invest in one day but not quite there yet) but distinctly tinted. These are 7.5mm There is a slightly green cast to the...

Here is a lovely piece I styled from bluebirrrd's Etsy shop - a gorgeous peacock lariat, about 50" long. The color and style lent it to a bohemian look, we agreed, especially when worn as a wrap bracelet. I can't decide whether I like it as a bracelet or a necklace better... Which do...

I love pink pearls with denim. These are battah's pink drops! (the neck shot is not in the post - that is all for you, PG ;) ) http://www.theseventhsphinx.com/fashion/features/denim-denim/

Playing with one of battah's ripple ropes - incredible color! I love pale pink matched with gray... http://www.theseventhsphinx.com/fashion/features/the-sweatshirt-dress/

Chanel returns to pearls again and again, often trying something new. Here's a suitdress encrusted with pearls, with asymmetrical monster gumballs at the throat. http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fashion/products/ready-to-wear/g/s.look-6-spring-summer-2014.14S.14S6.html I don't love this look but...

I'd never seen keshis in person (it's difficult to find them - I'm sure I'm not alone, this crowd aside), but recently borrowed some pieces from battah's Etsy shop (Thanks, battah!) to play with. They are really incredible, they seem like they are from another planet - but still just as...

What is going on with 'pondslime' being an official pearl color? What is that about? Who did that? The first few times I saw it, I thought it was a joke. A little pearl deprecation. It isn't a joke, though, is it.

Pearls and hats can be great friends. I sometimes have a hard time finding earrings that play well with a hat without shouting over it (and at the same time not being lost themselves). Yet another scenario where pearls are a great answer. I especially like the idea of contrast, like pearls and...

I always love the versatility of pearls - they work with effortless,casual outfits but they can also hold their own in glam contexts (and everything in between). Was kind of amazed at how beautifully these 8mm studs stood out against a massive sun hat for a recent post. There's a great 8 strand...

Found this really pretty strand of 8-10mm (very) off round dyed freshwaters on eBay. I'm not so interested in roundness when there is a really lovely color (or range of colors) at hand. This is a doubled 32" strand. By chance, in this lighting, they almost perfectly match the PP button studs...

A fashion shot featuring 8mm white freshwater drops from The Pearl Outlet. You can't see how nice they are, really, but maybe useful to see what that size looks like for others. Does calling them 'drops' imply a teardrop shape? If they are round and dangling...do you call them just 'dangles'...

Took this picture for fun for a post this morning: Alternative uses for espresso mugs... http://www.theseventhsphinx.com/lifestyle/food/on-the-menu-coffee-pastry/

The jade is front and center here but of course I wouldn't have given it a second glance without the pearls. Thought you'd appreciate :) http://www.theseventhsphinx.com/acquisitions/acquisitions-antique-jade-pearl-ring/ Still looking for a ring where the pearl IS front and center...

Hi all, I've been scouring this forum for the several months and particularly for the last few days, looking for photos of people wearing their pearls in which they have also specified the mm size of the pearls they are wearing. I wanted to get a realistic idea of what different sizes (and...
