Pearl Diary

Wow, what an amazing collection!
I do like your ombré Edison’s and hope they get some wear one day.
 
Hi Waps! That's a fine looking rope!

I'd love to see a closeup of the rectangular metal beads. :)

The original rope was much longer, 130cm ish, so I asked people to restring it. Some sterling silver parts were taken from the original rope , and the rest of the Keshis were made into a shorter rope.

Here are the photos of the rectangle part.

There is a big Tahitian Keshi collected some time ago. It is 16.2mm, like an acorn. Cute shape. I took a photo last month when I wore the pendant, together with a Keshi ring.
Going floral again, I know, hehe.

I wore two tiny Tahitian Keshi necklaces today. 3-5mm.
Will remember to take neckshot of other Keshi pieces when I wear them.

Lapis and Turquoise go very well with Tahitian , or WSS.

One of my faviroute are two Turquoise nucleated Tahitian. I think there are photos on this phone , let me find and post, cause I have shown some friends my pearls earlier this year.

Thank you so much for your kind words and all the support, ladies.
I like funny , quirky things , maybe not very conventional.
I have some conventional pearls , but not wearing them much, I guess those are quite commonly seen. . Can post some pictures if you also enjoy those big round GSS , Tahitian or WSS. Not many , a few.
 
Among the conventional pearls , I prefer GSS and wearing them quite often.

This one is 12-14. Very conventional. Suitable for most occasions. I wore it to wedding( not mine...sigh....), luncheons , dates(unsuccessful) , meetings, etc.

Round pearls are great, but baroques are of more fun.
Loooove pearls in interesting shape.
The UFO...15-17.5mm, humongous.
I wore this one quite often.

It didn’t have an UFO, so I asked people to put one here. A black green UFO( in any movie, UFO will not be in golden!)
This strand is 12-15. The Tahitian in the middle is bigger though.
