2017 Pearl Guide Ruckus People and their pearls

[Pearl Dreams]

Wow! Okay here goes.

 

[Marianne]

Lisa, your down the back garnet and pearl necklace was very glamorous!!!

BWeaves, you're too funny about Linda. Not only was she Pearl-Flash, she is super seamstress too! She made all her dresses she wore that weekend, including her golden silk dress! I really like the picture of you lmgarden took. Very cute!

You're more than welcome LFS. I would have lent you my camera had I known your battery was out. I took photos of all the presenters. Here are pictures from the Ruckus on my google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByBMvl7v3Sv9MnVXdTAwTEZiVjg?usp=sharing

Feel free to download any of your photos Ruckus-ers!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from my album.

I wish this picture was a little sharper... it was one of those Aweee... moments that you feel very honored to see.

The gorgeous golden south sea harvest strand

Another sweet moment.

I love Red's smile here.

Celeste filming Josh's talk. Don't you just love how those white Ts glow?

A little drumming contest.

Marianne's son (?) carved this!

The Kamoka jewelry display was the first display I saw and sadly, the only display I took a picture of... sort of got distracted and forgot to take photos of the other setups. Sorry!

And a few more!

The lovely Newberry and Brady working hard for Facebook Live!

The two Austinites enjoying the world's smallest shrimp tacos! I felt guilty eating them in one bite because it took a lot more effort to make them than eat them!

Octavia was having a great time! Pattye looks a little shocked to see a drinking oyster.

Just chatting.

Beautiful Celeste and the only Kamoka white Tahitian strand in the world.

We wrapped JulieBeth up in Tahitian ropes and the look was beautiful!

Three wonderful ladies! Gemgeek, Linda, and Octavia!

I have no idea what they're laughing about, but it made for a cute picture.

Gems of the weekend!

 

[Katbran]

What wonderful photos !! It certainly does look like a good time was had by all !!

 

[BWeaves]

I noticed last night that Celeste's Kamoka white Tahitian strand sold.

Did any of us buy it? We want neck shots, please!

P.S. To try to fund my pearl addiction, I'm selling some jewelry on Diamond Bistro. Not the good stuff, well some of the amber is quite good, but stuff I'm not wearing. One pair of pearl earrings is quite good. If I'm not allowed to say this, let me know.

 

[SunSeeker]

Thanks for sharing more wonderful photos!! That white Kamoka strand is beautiful and a rare treasure!

More with Imgarden

 

[BWeaves]

I got so many good ideas on how to style my layers upon layers of pearls. Everyone was so inspirational!

 

[Katbran]

lmgarden- Looking amazing in all those pearls !!

 

[newberry]

What wonderful pictures for a magical weekend. I am so happy to see all of them. But waaaaaa it is a long time until next July when we can do this all over again.

 

[juliebeth]

thank you for sharing all the pics, everyone!! and....i am SO copying lmgarden and getting a beautiful white linen dress for pearl-showing-off-purposes. and awesome bright blue boots for fun, as a tribute to Kojima Pearl!

 

[BWeaves]

Hahaha, JulieBeth. I've been thinking the same exact thing.

Next year, we'll show up wearing the same thing, and I'm OK with that.

 

[juliebeth]

oh, me too! we can differ in our pearl diversity.

 

[GemGeek]

I agree. We need linen-y things to show off our pearls!

 

[BWeaves]

Oddly enough, I find olive drab really brings out my pearls, too. Army fatigues, anyone?

 

[asurazzy]

As much as I enjoyed the pearls...but I enjoyed more looking at the peoples faces. For all of this time I only knew alias internet names on here and now..I can actualy see the real people faces behind it! Pretty awesome!!

 

[Zoe Celeste]

I absolutely LOVED Renee Newman's pieces!!! They were striking from all the way across the room. True statement pearls!

Thank you LFS and everyone else for the wonderful documentation!!! So many beautiful pearls on so many beautiful people!
