Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[CathyKeshi]

BWeaves ... so happy to see the Beachy rope I sat with that in front of me for an hour of Pearl Bingo, trying to decide before putting it back; so glad it got a good home where I get to see it now and then! That mabe set would be really pretty as a pendant and ring.

BWeaves, I think you would probably wear it more as a ring rather than the earrings.

A multi-colored rope doubled, from an Intergem show, and Tahitian studs from Takahashi.

And my purchase from Pearls By The Bay… a ring designed around a cultured abalone pearl from Atacama Pearls. The abalone pearl is from their first harvest. After seeing their experimental pearls at the first PBTB, I’ve enjoyed following their journey to now creating jewelry.

2thdktr: Wow, those are amazing pieces. They look great together.

Thanks BWeaves!

What a beautiful ring, jeg!

 

[BWeaves]

Oh wow, JEG. That cultured abalone pearl is intense. Love the color and the ring.

Thanks everyone for the votes for turning the mabe' earrings into rings. I think I'll have 2 rings made. One for me and one for my sister. She loved the idea, too. Now I have to find a jeweler could can do it. I also swapped some other earrings with my sister, and I think I'm going to redo them as something else too, because the earrings just aren't comfortable or my style.

Thanks so much, 2thdktr, Cathy, CatMom and BWeaves!
A couple more pics of the new ring. Cultured abalone pearl from the first harvest at Atacama Pearls.

Two Tahitian and SS ombre strands from Kojima, with earrings I made.

Gorgeous strands and earrings jeg!

BWeaves, how about using the mabe omega backs as dress clips, near the neckline? Or as scarf clips?

Hi Ennui. The omega backs aren't strong enough to be dress clips. They actually feel pretty weak, until I put my earlobe in them, and then they pinch. My sister says they feel fine to her. I think I have fat, tender earlobes. Even with my pearl drops and studs earrings, I have a weight limit.

I wore the Pomme de la Mer pendant today and my sister said, "Oooo pretty. It looks like an apple." Yup, it does!

Lovely pieces...and the ring is striking! The greens just flash and dazzle...Abalone pearls have their own special beauty.

 

[jeg]

Thank you, CatMom and Douglas! I love the color of abalone pearls. Abalone takes me back to my childhood when my grandfather would retrieve abalone in the bay near where I grew up. We had several shells laying around the house and unfortunately I didn’t keep any of them.

Baroque Akoya strand of soft multi-colors from Takahashi, and two tin cups I made with rare baroque Akoya colors also from Takahashi.

 

[BWeaves]

Those are gorgeous akoyas, JEG.

Today it's PISTAKIO DAY! Pistachio baroque akoyas from PP on mint Serafil thread from Pattye. Chocolate Plum pendant from Kojima. Pistachio Tahitian studs from Kojima.

Thank you, BWeaves! And lovely ”pistakios” to you!!

Just lovely! The pearls+beads necklace must be fun to wear!

 

[jeg]

Thanks Douglas! Lots of women wear the Koa and Tahitian necklaces in Hawaii, so I was inspired by seeing a lot of them while watching the local TV.

All Tahitian pieces I put together-

 

[BWeaves]

Gorgeous T's, JEG, as always.

These are my first Tahitians from Kojima. Necklace with white gold and sapphire clasp. Earrings with opals. I loved the clasp. The pearls in the necklace didn't wow me in the box, but they came alive as soon as I put them on my skin. They're also chameleons. They take on the color of whatever I'm wearing. Kamoka ring.
