Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

It's going to be hot today and the air conditioner repair man is coming to prep us for summer.

I'm 100% Kamoka chested today. Kamoka T-shirt. Black and white Tahitian studs. 2019 All Josh Harvest necklace. The strand is very black and white. It's quite different from all my other Tahitians which are very colorful. It's also very different from all of the other Kamoka harvest necklaces in that all the pearls are near round. Josh does good grafting of nuclei.

I seem to always be drawn to a certain color of Tahitian pearls. Kamoka pendant, La Perlagrina. The pearls in the opal earrings from Kojima match the pendant perfectly. Ombre' tin-cup from Kojima. Kojima has another ombre' tin-cup on their website that I'm lusting over, but it's the same length and style as the one I have. I just cannot justify having two, right? I have an even longer ombre' tin-cup from Kojima, so I really don't need three, right?

I love how the cherry ring on the left earring goes around the equator, but the cherry ring on the right earring is a halo. You can't tell when I'm wearing them, but only when they're next to each other.

It's so hard to capture the sparkle of the opals and the color of the Tahitian pearls in the same photo.

Two of my most favorite things, opals and pearls!

Endless strands and tin cups are great, CatMom! I just finished making one for a friend of mine who has trouble with clasps, so she can just slip it over her head. Also they can be turned in any direction to show different pearls/design.

Can’t blame you, BWeaves. peacock and greens are hard to resist. All your pieces look lovely together and I say, you can never have enough of anything!

Paspaley SS pearls from Cees, little h earrings, and tiny station chains I made with turquoise, coral and vintage Akoya.

What a beautiful combination jeg and the earrings are just the finishing touch!
 
Thanks so much, CatMom and BWeaves! Hahaha- there’s too much temptation everywhere you look, BWeaves.. Love all your Kamoka’s, too!

An Edison pendant from PP from way back, two beaded fun ropes from Kojima, and earrings I made.

As always those work so well together jeg. Beautiful pairing!
 
Love all your Pearls JEG. Gorgeous earrings and pendant. I don't think I've seen the fun necklaces before.

I'm fully Kojima chested today. The Everything Bagel rope (lots of blue and pistachio baroque akoyas, with Kamoka keshi, Kasumi and white and gold South Sea pearls). Long white and gold South Sea and blue baroque akoya keshi tin-cup. Spring Rain pendant. New keshi tin-cup earrings. I love asymmetric earrings.

Lovely combination as well BWeaves!
 
Thanks so much CatMom and BWeaves! BWeaves, the beaded ropes are from PBTB last year. Sarah had several beaded ropes she said she and Heather had a fun play day putting them together. I have one more that is a mix of greys and goldens. They were all a playful mix of beads, shells and pearls and are so light and easy to wear. And of course, I love your Kojima chested mix today!

All things I put together- an opera length of light to medium golden SS, a station chain of vintage Akoya from PacificPearls.US, and SS and Akoya earrings.

Lovely!!!!

I just purchased those little h emerald and tiny pearl geode earrings. I definitely want to see them in person.

Today it was BBAs all the way. The photos don't capture all the soap bubble goodness these pearls display.

Tiny blue baroque akoya rope from Hisano at Pearl Paradise. Round BBAs from Pearls of Joy, bought at my first Ruckus at the white house. Vietnamese BBAs from PP, linked to them to make a longer rope. Dyed drop earrings with white topaz hoops from Kojima. Spring Rain pendant from Kojima. Peacock Tahitian yellow gold ring from Kamoka. And Sea of Cortez pearl from Douglas in a PP pink gold Frost setting. I think that covers almost everyone.

The 4th photo down is the closest I could get to showing the colors of these pearls.
And yes, my SoC ring really is that intense in color. What does Douglas call it? Erotochromatic? Erectochromatic?

I love the mixed goldens jeg! It seems more and more I am liking mixed strands vs matching strands.

The colors are just amazing!
 
Today I am wearing some semi-baroque white Edisons I strung with onyx beads. I really like the juxtaposition of black and white and wanted a black and white strand. Sorry for the bad pic. Still doing things left handed, lol.

Thank you Douglas, BWeaves and CatMom! I agree CatMom, I do love the multi-colored strands.

Beautiful soap bubbly blues, BWeaves! And of course, the rings!!

What a fun rope of black and white, CatMom! It looks great, and I hope your other hand is on the quick mend so you can get back to more pearly projects.

Vintage coral from Kojima, a Tahitian pendant from Hawaii, and Tahitian keshi I added to earrings from a San Francisco metal artist.
