P. sterna v Pipi

Oh man, you gals know how to make a lady blush! It's not easy being a woman in the STEM fields, we all need great female role models. I only hope I can live up to some of the great role models I've had! I've pretty much been wearing the pipi nevklace nonstop lately and it matches the badge on my greens ;). Anyways, I just wanted to give y'all an earshot of the earrings!
 
Cathy, I wanted to send this via message, but I couldn't get it to work, so I'm posting here. From that shop I was telling you about!

Also, here is what the store front looks like:

I, too, am jealous of your brows. You are beautiful and I love how you look in forest green and the earrings are perfect. Thanks for sharing!
 
Lol it's not about the threading! I wouldn't even have enough eyebrows to be threaded to go to a salon. While I have loads and loads and loads, did I say loads?, of hair, I somehow have no eyebrows - mine are artificial!

Full eyebrows are all the rage these days. Ugh I want Lily Collin's eyebrows (even though Cara Delevingne has the more famous of the eybrows)!
 
Oh, WOW ... thanks Andrea ... I think I'm in trouble LOL!!!
 
What a great way to pep up your uniform!
Looks fab!
 
I wish I had Cara's or Lilly's eyebrows too, Purr! The fronts of mine are pretty thin, so I'll never be able to achieve their look, but I'm grateful for what I've got :)

Blaire, you are the sweetest! I never really wear forest green, but I'm going to keep it in mind now!

Thanks, Happy!

Cathy, that store is really dangerous! I knew going on that trip that I was going to make one significant jewelry purchase and that it would be antique, carved Mediterranean coral. Though, I will say, compared to other stores of lesser quality, this store had better prices for better quality. The breadth of their variety is astounding. I took a million photos while shopping in there! I wish I had written down the address, but it was only maybe a 5 minute walk (not counting people jam slow downs) from the back end of Saint Mark's square (the end opposite the cathedral). The other shop to stop and see is Codognato. Not to buy because well, it's Codognato, but to drool. They are verrrrrrrry drool worthy!
 
Not to worry, Andrea ... I spent a professional lifetime as a "finder" of ... things, people, ways to get things done etc. ... I already have the address saved in my devices LOL. Upper right of second photo, looks like some white pearls between blue ... aquamarines maybe :)
 
I don't know if the address that's on Google is correct, there's a different store with the same name that has murano glass and not antique jewelry. I didn't even notice that pearl necklace! Nice one :)
 
Pattye, Judy Geib said hi on insta the other day, I almost died! I'm such a fangirl for her :) You are so so sweet! I'm waiting on a batch of pipis as we speak so I can finish off another project. I replaced the crispy rice pearls with graduated ruby briolettes (largest in center), then I'll add some pipis to hide that crappy wire work on the rubies. 28G wire is really difficult to work with, without snapping accidentally.

Cute, and not a bad job at all. It's hard to wrap the top of briolettes and get them all to match. I am in agreement with you on the small wire. I never do wire work on a consistent basis, so my "skills" backslide to zero each time. :)
