2017 Pearl Guide Ruckus People and their pearls

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

And she is such a kind person too. Did not make the Ruckus, but met Renee earlier and yup her pearls were huge. Wilma would be jealous.

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!

Here are those back draped garnets and pearls someone asked about!

Walter and I are still wandering in CA ... 3 Blue whales around our whale watching boat in Monterey, plus the smaller stuff like ... breaching humpbacks, fluffy sea otters and more !

And the "sideways fixer" posts ... sideways lol. Sorry, only have the cell phone.

Ok more photos today. This is our friend Cathy Keshi and her adorable husband Walter. Cathy was gifted this beautiful Golden south sea necklace the night before by Walter. Now we get to see a shot of Cathy modeling it. Beautiful.

This is just before she got the necklace on with Douglas and Walter doing the honors adoring his wife in pearls.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oh, thank you for these Liliefuzzysocks ... we both LOVE that photo with Douglas! ️

Let's see what I've got...

The drool-worthy table


Andy, Arthur and Zoe Celeste


And the world's best baby, Mr Arthur!


Octavia, hanging with the pearl crew


And enjoying Renee Newman's pearl book


Sarah, modeling her magnificent Kojima Pearl Sea of Cortez necklace. Did someone from Pearl Guide buy it?


And the wondrous white Tahitian necklace from Kamoka, modeled by Celeste


And squished into indirect light - lovely pearls! I know these were sold. Someone better fess up! LOL.


You know KaySD is going to have a fantastic custom Sea of Cortez mabe necklace!


Octavia enjoyed making friends with Linda Wald. I somehow entirely missed the handgrabber ring from the previous day.


And Octavia is old friends with Auntie Newberry

OMG, that table was magnificent!

In the photo "Octavia, hanging with the pearl crew" I can tell you exactly what's happening.

On the left, BWeaves is buying the Everything Bagel necklace off Sarah from Kojima's neck.
On the right, Red and Newberry and picking out all the best multicolored "pecan" pearls for earrings and pendants from the Kojima loot.
In the front, Octavia is telling a very dirty joke, hence the immense laughter to the right.

She didn't get it from me. Really.

Close, but I'm not in that photo. I think I must have just left, and CathyKeshi is giving the pearls a go. (I had to look twice as well, but the fact that I don't wear a watch on my left wrist is the clincher.)

I don't post usually, but I have been lurking for years. I loved seeing all the incredible pearls and putting faces to names, thank you. Hope to be attending next year's Ruckus.

 

[GemGeek]

Welcome! Tooth Doctor? Glad you enjoyed the photos. We got a lot of them this year.

 

[Katbran]

Sure Gemgeek...sure ...

 

[GemGeek]

LOL. Octavia is a mollusk who gets around. In fact, she's in Portland, Oregon right now.

 

[Marianne]

Octavia might look all sweet and innocent, but she has a ribald side as well...

 

[GemGeek]

And then there's the drinking...

 

[CathyKeshi]

I only wear that watch while traveling ... good eye, Red. Oh, and I didn't empty all those margarita glasses lol ...
