365 Days of Pearls

[Pearly-Whites]

Wow, BN you continue to amaze. The metallic pendant is stunning with the sharpness of luster!

What are the dimensions of the pendant? I think it is a wonderful size. All of the earrings are fabulous, my personal favorites the matching metallics in the middle size. You wear them all well.

I am hoping to have my Burmese studs mounted this week. They are very special as you well know.

That drop is absolutely beautiful!

I really like the first earring combo. The colours match perfectly and I don't think the studs are too small at all. Just perfect, and so lustrous too! The second combo is also pretty, I think the largest studs overwhelm the pendant a bit.

Thanks, hanadama. It occurred to me that if I posted a picture that included my whole torso and head, it would give a better perspective. But the view of ear and pendant isn't too bad.

Yes, color and luster are a perfect match. I'm just not used to wearing earrings smaller than 9mm lol! And I do think the 10-11 overwhelm the pendant.

 

[baby nurse]

I like the first earrings, too. I don't think they are too small at all.

BWeaves, given your recent thread on stud size, I consider you an expert! So thank you for weighing in!

When I pulled these little studs out to try on with the pendant, I was shocked at how beautiful they are. Lustrous and round, pink overtones and completely blemish free. So many pieces that I'd more or less forgotten about. Anyway, I do like the look and will wear these more often.

 

[baby nurse]

I'm also going with the first option. I don't think 7.5mm is too small; the luster and color are perfectly matched to your pendant--which is stunning by the way!

Thanks, SunSeeker. Agreed. I do think they look great together. I'm just not used to the smaller size : )

So the 7.5mm is a size you like the look of and appreciate because they are light on the lobe? The more I think about it, the more I'm liking these with the pendant because of color and proportion. But if I just felt like wearing some white studs, I'd likely reach for the larger ones.

Thanks for sharing Red!

Yes, the 7.5s. I think Cathy reversed the first and second sets of photos when she put them upright. The medium sized studs have a distinctly more creamy yellow body color than your gorgeous pendant.

You like the 9-10mm! I like them as well. I'm going to have to try the two sets of fwp studs (7.5 and 9-10mm) and pendant on again. First world problems.

You're getting your SS studs mounted this week-- good for you! I'll be looking for your pictures.

The pendant Pearl is 11X 15mm.

Yes, the 9-10mm ones are definitely more creamy than the pendant.

Thanks for clarifying your choice!

Day 48:

Today was a layering day. Layering is not my forte but I love the look so I'm giving it a try. These are all pieces I've posted before.

To begin, here is yesterday's PP fwp pendant.

 

[baby nurse]

And here are two rosebud strands from CC and the 6mm akoya strand I purchased in the early 90s (my first pearl purchase!)

 

[baby nurse]

Here they are on. I really like this together, the smooth and the bumpy and the difference in size between the rosebuds and the little akoya.

 

[baby nurse]

I added yesterday's pendant. I'm pleased with it but not sure if it's too much. The colors are different but I like the combo of cream and white. What say you?

 

[baby nurse]

Cathy it's a minor miracle. My pictures are all straight!

 

[BWeaves]

I like the 3 strands together, but the pendant may be too much with it. I'm sure everyone else will disagree with me. It's actually not the pearl pendant that bothers me, but the V shape of the chain that doesn't seem to go with the U shape of the pearl necklaces.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Well HELLO! Glorious combo...I like the pendant with it, but what I really want to do is twist those strands together.

 

[Pearly-Whites]

It is all amazing and I loved the funny comment...a first world problem.
We are all so blessed.

I hadn't noticed but now I can't stop seeing it lol!!!

A torsade, huh? They'd be very nice textures together...

I like the color contrast between the pendant and the strands -- it's like they play on each other.

Yes I thought so too, linda. I wasn't crazy about it at first but then really liked it. I enjoy seeing different shades of white, ivory, cream together.
