Pearlgirl12; that was my favorite piece from the Vintage/Antique Show!!! Really a showstopper; I have a small collection of bar and collar pins; and it was hard to resist ... had I not indulged in a couple of pieces from a show a few days before ..... Glad it got a wonderful home

Thank you. It is happily nesting with some Victorian bar pins from back in the days when I prowled Camden Passage in London.

My first live show purchases came in this week!

First - Hong Kong show! I haven’t had the chance to wear this yet, but I purchased what Hisano referred to as “the sweet one” tiny Tahitian keshi dangly gold necklace. Of the three options for this one, I opted for the one with the smallest keshi because I loved the silvery blue color and more oblong shape of the keshi. I am fully obsessed with this necklace. It’s like a little work of art. It’s a tough act to follow.

Two days later came my purchase from the Jack Lynch retirement celebration. I felt so lucky to get these Tahitian drop hoops! This was my first time “bidding” because I had purchased the necklace from Hong Kong on the website between the first and second day, knowing it would sell out for sure on the second day. Anyway - Hisano had mentioned her love for the Crescent hoop setting but mentioned they could be tricky to put on. I had no trouble with it and find them incredibly comfortable! I have been looking for some earrings to go with a recent Kamoka pendant purchase. I took about 0.5 seconds to determine that the white gold + shape + color of the pearls was a very good fit and then pounced! I’m pretty pleased with how they look together. I feel like the earrings will go with … pretty much everything.

I totally forgot to mention that during Jack Lynch’s speaking portion, he had a book in his background setting. The same book was sitting right next to me!

Wonderful choices PearlyLibrarian; lifetime selections those You did so well matching those earrings to the pendant!! I'm such a fan of charm dangle style pieces; I have several, including Fiji pearls, and one treasure with Sea of Cortez keshi and tiny diamond beads. I want to go back and rewatch the Jack Lynch show. I joined for a bit, but we were house, teen and creature sitting for our own librarian, who went off to a library/computer conference all week. Everyone had a great time, but 3 dogs chasing a cat through the house made livestreaming a bit distracting ...

Gorgeous Tahitians. Good choices. You were right to jump on those right away.

I can see why you're excited and delighted! The necklace and earrings are beautiful! I missed the Jack Lynch live stream, but I put myself on the waitlist for those earrings....guess that's not going to happen! Congrats, you did well!

Those sound lovely! I’m sure your librarian appreciates the help

So sorry I would let you borrow them though!

@PearlyLibrarian: She walked into a quiet house, all creatures sleeping, her son in bed ... she was in shock. It was a different story once all the creatures figured out their real mom was HOME! She does appreciate the help
