I was fortunate to rehome a beautiful ombre strand from Pkinnew. I love ombres and like how lightweight and shiny this piece is. Feel very fortunate to own this piece.
And thank you Pkinnew for willing to share this beauty. Sending much love.

It is truly exquisite. I think the ombre style is so pretty! I have been wanting one of these forever!
 
kalmen22! the ombre looks large and lustrous - wonderful size & graduation! I rehomed the bracelet from pkinnew so we are ombre set sibs! :)
 
Lovely, Kalmen22 - looks beautiful on you!
Kalmen & Purranha, how did you come to rehome these pieces? Did I miss opportunities.... perhaps I arrived at PG after these became available? Thanks!!!
 
The first time I saw ombre strand (photographed flat on a table), I have to admit I just didn't understand the appeal. But wow, on the neck they always have amazing presence and grace.

Yours is beautiful. Enjoy!
 
Absolutely stunning! I'm glad these beautiful pearls found a new home with you.

Hi lmgarden - our fellow PG member pkinnew posted a thread about rehoming her pearl collection last fall as she was going through chemo treatment. Many of us rehomed her various pieces and wished her speedy recovery. I'm glad to report that she seems to be doing better this year.

Aside from posting here on PG, she also posted on PriceScope and LoupeTroop, and I think the majority of her pieces has been adopted since but she still has more pieces left.

She has a more detailed posting on PS, and I'm not sure what's the protocol on posting PS links here. If one of the mods can chime in, I'd be happy to post link here. Would be great to help her rehome her remaining pieces!
 
I initially wasn't entirely sure of the ombre as well, thus rehomed the bracelet as a test drive. I'm definitely regretting a bit not rehoming the necklace - it looks stunning on Kalmen!

Here is my sibling bracelet, which I shortened a bit. Posted with baby 7mm Mangareva Tahitians from Jac - one bracelet with dark mix and one with light mix.

I agree, that laying flat, the ombres do nothing for me, but ON, they look amazing. Makes me want at least a necklace.
 
Thank you all for the kind comments
Purr your bracelet looks marvellous. And yes we have sibs!
I was also taken with the ombre after seeing some beautiful shots on the neck. Flat on table didn't catch my eye initially. But I do do do so love it on the neck.
 
Oh, thank so much you Purranha! Very happy to hear pkinnew that you're much better, and remain so!! I'll check 'other stuff' thread on PG - not a member of PS, yet!!
 
Thank you, Purranha...you're a sweetheart!!!

Those hombre pieces are stunning!!!
 
I don't see why there would be any problem posting links for pkinnew's sales threads on Pricescope or Loupetroupe.
 
Oh those are gorgeous! Kalmen and Purranha, they look fab on you!

Pkinnew is not running a business, so an exception can be made for posts regarding her collection. To give them up is hard, but it must be gratifying knowing that so many pearl lovers in our family are enjoying them in her stead.
 
Purr thank you for posting an update on Pkin. I have wondered how she is and am glad to know she is doing better.
