I got the first of my White Tahitian strands. I've fallen HARD for these.... I'm wearing them with my sapphire station necklace that hubby bought for me for Mother's Day. This is a strand from the 8.0-10.0 mm AA+ White Tahitian Freeform Drop Pearl Necklace set, lot 1733:

I also got a strand of the two tone. I have 2 more strands coming.....

These truly are remarkable pearls. I am absolutely in love with mine!

 

[JerseyPearl]

WOW!!! You really purchased a lovely strand of pearls. And that sapphire station necklace is so pretty. I love pearls and gems. Those stones really bring out the overtones in your pearls. GORGEOUS.

Hisano sent me some glamour photos of my white Tahitians from the sale. Erin selected three of the whitest freeform baroque strands for me. I picked out pearls for a bracelet, and asked that the rest be strung into two nesting strands. I added one Fiji pearl to the bracelet that I just couldn't leave behind. They are strung on Pattye's Beaders' Secret with white gold orbit clasps.

These should be arriving next week. So excited.

So beautiful, Red! And what lovely glamour shots

 

[Sanippy]

They look incredibly white! I really really love your bracelet. Rare, white Tahitian babies with a very special ombré blue-white Fiji pearl. It is a stunning piece.

The bracelet is my fave. It looks organic and beautiful and the pipi is a pleasant addition indeed.

I got a strand of PP's White Tahitians as well. I chose pearl shapes that look uniform yet organic. The overtones are silver with a tinge of blue (this was from the white lot). It looks like a mild silver strand.

Here are the comparison photos.

The white Tahitians are in the middle. The big pearls are white Australian SSPs while the circled ones are white SSPs tending towards cream.

A closer look:

I love them with the Tahitian strand...they seem to compliment one another very nicely. Your SSPs are nothing to sneeze at either, just beautiful!

 

[Luvglitz]

Perlas, I love all the white/silvers together. On my list to buy is a WSS strand, but it's gonna just have to wait awhile. Tahitians have always been my absolute favorite pearls.

 

[kalmen22]

These whites just get better and better. Beautiful Red and Perlas.
And those wssp oh wow.

 

[perlas]

Thanks JP, Luvglitz, and kalmen!

The black does match the white Tahitians! Both strands are matched well in body color and luster. I thought the white Tahitians would look really good on a rope.

I still need the wssps strung. How can one go wrong with Australian wssps...they just do it better!

 

[BWeaves]

They're all gorgeous, but that big white SSP strand is amazing.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Yes indeed-- that large WSS from Australia is my favorite. I love the shapes.

 

[perlas]

Thanks BWeaves and Pearl Dreams!

I still don't know what to do with the big ones. The center is 15.6mm and smallest at 12.10mm.

I'm thinking whether to go classic and string them alone or to use very thin Jade discs of around 8mm as spacers/rondelles with imperial green/emerald green color. It has to be as green as BWeaves' little h pendant in order for it to work.
