Ah that makes sense, thanks for the clarification

Bubbles bubbles bubbles! I would love a bubbly strand one day! The vintage akoya look like champagne akoya - out of interest, is there a noticeable difference between what’s vintage vs newly-produced champagne?

After posting about my big stud journey (haha thanks @BWeaves for the chuckle), I decided to wear them with my ombré soufflé T and WSS bracelet + silver bracelet = necklace combination. The T stud is not round and you can kinda tell from the side profile shot, but I’m not prepared to spend $$$...

Wow your blue Takahashi akoyas are an impressive size @jeg ! @PearlyLibrarian your ear stack looks great! I personally wouldn’t go smaller and completely agree that PSS is a thing. Maybe because I don’t wear pearl studs on a daily basis (I’m too lazy to take off earrings when I exercise or...

To go with my blue stripy shirt, I paired my blue baroque akoya bracelet linked with a chunky silver bracelet, worn as a necklace. I really like how the silver links give an edge to pearls!

This Sea Glass strand is exquisite! Out of interest, why is it called Sea Glass? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such soap bubble-y Tahitians before! To have so many different pastel overtones (pink, green, blue, champagne) in a strand is amazing! I’ve seen soap bubble-y akoya but not T’s, and...

Definitely go for it! I have a chunky silver bracelet that I bought especially to wear as the “other half” of a pearl necklace - the best thing is that it works with all my pearl bracelets (I have three - ombré Tahitian, bubble Tahitian and blue baroque akoya), but my favourite is the ombré...

Over the holiday period, I discovered a new favourite way to wear pearls: as a belt! I connected a strand of drop shaped akoya (7-8mm) with a strand of Tahitians to form the pearl belt and highlight the baby bump :)

RE: black knots - I didn't actually pay attention to this so I'm not sure! But I bought unfinished strands (I don't know the correct terminology for this - basically a string of pearls with no knotting and no clasp) and had my Tahitians strung with black knots when I got back to China. And the...

That pastel Tahitian strand!!! :love::love::love:

Here is my ombré soufflé Tahitian baroque bracelet, pearls chosen by me from a little tub at General Pearl in Tokyo when I visited Japan for a short trip (pearls were drilled and strung after I got home). Getting to hand-pick each one whilst chatting with the son of General Pearl’s founder (who...

Thank you for sharing! Loved reading about Kamoka’s journey!

When my husband was in Japan for a conference, I jumped on the opportunity to take a short solo ‘pearls and jewels’ trip. Here is my itinerary - hopefully you’ll find it useful if you’re ever in Japan and want to do something pearly. TLDR: Day 1: Osaka - meet Flower Jem (pearl vendor on...

Strand of Tahitians I bought in Kobe when I visited nearly two months ago (!). I need to do a write up of my trip as I had an amazing time doing pearl and jewellery related things. It’s interesting how the centre pearl looks obviously off-round when placed down, but is not so obvious when...

What beautiful GSS keshis @jeg ! The way the colours range from a light champagne to almost a rose gold tone. Just delightful 😍

@jeg your mabe earrings look like they're liquid... magic potion! Beautiful @SurfnSci your Kamoka strand has such wonderful colours :love:

The colours are fantastic, and the strand looks so good with the alternating light, medium and dark body colour! A beautiful multicolour strand :love:

Wearing my new lustrous drop-shaped 7-8mm akoya from Flower Jem with my keshi T studs. I caught my reflection in a public toilet mirror today (sorry TMI) and was amazed by the luster on the akoya! It’s hard to capture how beautiful they are. The strand is knotted with navy thread and I...

T Your baby akoya hoops pack so much punch! And they look great with your GSS too - I think they seem like the ultimate versatile hoop!

Wow, the colours on your abalone pearl! And the shark-tooth like shape & size too! Hisano would have much better ideas than me, but if I may indulge in fantasy myself… due to its size, I’d be tempted to set it east-west in a bangle so I can admire it all day long. Or, east-west in a ring so...
