365 Days of Pearls

[86Corvettegirl]

Beautiful pearls, BN!!! What a wonderful birthday!

 

[baby nurse]

Indeed, best edit ever! Lovely pearls; are those little jelly bean keshi strung on wire? So delightful

Thanks, Cathy! Yes, wire. To be honest, I really don’t care for the wire. It’s too rigid. I love the Keshi though!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Hmmm ... I thought the wire looked nice. The colors of those little keshi are like jelly beans ... so pretty

 

[Katbran]

Always add cake ... always !

I agree with CathyK and like the look of the 'roundness' of the Keshi strand. But I did wonder if it was comfortable being that bit stiff.. but it does give such a good look.

Wonderfull combination !

Thank you, Katbran! I think it looks particularly nice with this type of neckline and it is very comfortable. It’s flexible, I’m sure you’ve come across many like it in your travels. I simply prefer the drape of Beaders Secret, silk, etc. It’s an easy enough fix; i just need to motivate myself to take the thing apart and restring it!

Thank you BAS, Cathy, Charlotta, 86CG, and Katbran!

Day 335:

Coin pearl necklace from Catherine Cardellini and metallic dangles.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Love the luminosity of the coin pearls, BN!

 

[SunSeeker]

Very sweet! Happy belated birthday, baby nurse!

 

[Parrot Lady]

So many colors on those coin pearls. So many things it would match.

 

[Charlotta]

Beautiful colors on those coins. Is a necklace like this, with very big and flat pearls difficult to wear? Do they flip?

 

[baby nurse]

It’s not difficult to wear at all, Charlotta. Because they are large and flat they stay in place.

 

[baby nurse]

Thank you 86CG, SunSeeker, Parrot Lady, and Charlotta!

Several years ago when I purchased that coin pearl necklace from Catherine Cardellini, I also bought a pretty metallic off round strand from her. I’d bought many pieces from Cathy by that time and they usually took about 10 days to reach me. When 2 weeks went by and the 2 pearl necklaces hadn’t appeared, I got concerned. Long story short, they were delivered to the wrong place and the envelope with my name on it was lost. I spent hours on the phone trying to track them down. Pretty much a miracle that they eventually found their way to me!

Out of my many, many pearl purchases, this was the only near miss!

 

[baby nurse]

This is the strand that temporarily got lost in the mail with the coin pearl necklace. I was so glad when these 2 necklaces arrived safe and sound!

What luster. Amazing! I wonder where she sources her lustrous pearls...

 

[baby nurse]

I’ve wondered that as well!

Day 334:

White baroque akoya necklace from Pearl Paradise VIP sale, freshwater Keshi and chain dangles from Kojima Pearl.

 

[Charlotta]

Perfect combination, the earrings picks up both the color of the shirt and the necklace. Beautiful.

 

[Katbran]

Gorgeous !! Those earrings are especially cute and those Akoya - just beautiful !!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Gorgeous necklace, BN. I wish I had been able to get one but, alas, I was not fast enough so the hunt will continue. I love the luster & they look wonderful on. Those earring are a perfect accompaniment to the strand!!

 

[pattye]

Lovely pairing today, BN!

I have been waiting for your pics on the gorgeous white baroque akoyas BN! Sigh - I too regretted missing out on those beauties at the VIP launch. They pair beautifully with your earrings. Enjoy your treasures!!
