Oh My God! Pp Monthly!!

[waimeamomi]

I'm going to check the mail now. I wore an empty neckline to work today to be prepared!

 

[waimeamomi]

They're here! The only damper was having an economy discussion on the way to the mail room, that made me feel guilty about buying them. I think this means I have to sell another strand I was going to keep. They really are gorgeous. I still love Tahitians better, but these pack a lot of punch all right. The photos posted here are with my computer's camera on Photo Booth under flourescent light, so don't hold it against the pearls. Wow - I never had an attachment pend approval before. What's up with that?

 

[SteveM]

Success!

The 9.0/9.5s show excellent depth of color, again better in person than in the PP photos (and certainly better than my rushed photo).

I took this leap knowing my wife's contentment with and frequent usage of a platinum South Seas keshi necklace with blue overtones. Here they are together, in shadow/indirect lighting (note the new penny!).

Got mine too. They have a subtle silvery blue coloring. I like them in that they are different and can be worn with a lot of colors. I still like FW exotic and dark Tahitian pearls better. They are shiny, but not quite shiny like round akoya, FW exotic/freshadama and my Tahitian strands.

These are 7.5-8.0mm, 16" & 18" long.

I'm dying to see all your photos, but they're pending!!! Ahrrrrg!

Jiazzi, you and your pearls are exquisite, truly. I do love blue on other people, although I don't wear it much myself. Those pearls might just start changing my mind though. I'll have to talk it over with my peach baroques though....they might get jealous. ;-)

Enjoy your beautiful pearls!

Guess I didn't need to 'rush'!

Got mine too.

I knew you would not be able to resist

[boo]

Here are mine (or they will be once this attachment pending thing resolves!) It kind of killed me to cut apart such a pretty little necklace but I already have a very nice set of wildly baroque akoya, and I needed the smaller pearls for this necklace. I used grey-green sapphires (which have killer sparkle in the sun, but sadly it is very overcast today) with a bit over 2/3 of the pearls from the PP necklace.

I used my larger, more baroque akoyas for an enhancer, but I need to find a smaller bail for it to sit better.

Is the attachment approval a new feature or a glitch?

 

[SpaceNeedle]

To avoid the delay of photo approval, I posted the photo of my blue akoyas on photobucket and created a link within my PG post message to point to my photos hosted on photobucket site.

Wow, they're gorgeous spaceneedle!

 

[maryd]

Wow, they're gorgeous spaceneedle!

I second that. And your other pearls are to dye for.

 

[SteveM]

?other pearls are to dye for?

Freudian slip (or not?)?without dye there would certainly be less colorful pearls on the market!

LOL. Not enough sleep and trying to get a quick reply in before running to a meeting. But I do see your point.

 

[dkan 168]

Indeed, especially your collection of interchangeable drops

May I enquire what type of earrings you wear with the drops?

I am thinking about getting some inside and out diamond pave huggies myself

Really crappy neck shot:

 

[Hanaleimom]

Very nice, Callire. Nice pearl on a lovely neck.

Why does your photo show up, but Sheryl, Steve and mine are still pending approval?Hmm?

It's just a pair of simple small hoops with diamonds. They work really well .

 

[GemGeek]

Another swan-like neck! The color looks very good against your skin.
