Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

Thank you for the kind comments on yesterday's lavender pearls. Today I wore my GSS pendant and keshi earring studs.

I call the pendant the Golden Olive because of its size, shape and color. In 2017 I asked Pearl Paradise to find me a GSS drop for a pendant on one of their buying trips to Hong Kong. They found this pearl and I remember Jeremy spinning it like a top on the high table at PP and my heart going to my throat for fear it would spin onto the floor. It didn't. There was no wobble or drift at all due to the perfect symmetry.

I wore this pendant to the 2018 Ruckus and it caught the experienced eye of Jacques Branellec of Jewelmer, who told me my pearl was "one in a million". He then stopped and thought for a moment and amended it "no, it's one in five million". I purchased the golden keshi nuggets for stud earrings at this same ruckus.

The golden nuggets that caught my eye.

Wearing my new Takahashi BBA pendant today. The 2 pearls are insanely blue. They glow blue like the spines on the back of Godzilla Minus One right before he goes nuclear with his death ray. It's a great summer pearl.

OMG...spectacular GSS! Love them all.
 
Thanks so much, BWeaves, Pearls&Pugs and CatMom!

BWeaves, you are pulling off a glamorous June Cleaver vibe!

Red, I love feather pearls, and I really love the lumpy shape of your new pendant! (That sounds unflattering and it’s not meant to be!)

I made this tin cup last night with my dwindling stash of tiny Tahitians from Alex Collins :17:. The earring jackets are also made with tiny T’s from Alex, and the Tahitian keshi studs are from Takahashi. The Tahitian keshi smile necklace is from Kojima.

Wow, your golden's are so gorgeous!
 
Today I'm wearing a vintage tourmaline and pearl necklace my hubby bought in Japan 25 years ago. I'm not sure what kind of pearls those are other than large and circled. I'm wearing them with Edisons I strung and a lavender FFW bracelet from PP.

Red is BACK and we are delighted! Memories ... Jacques and Ruckus :) Your GSS are indeed one among millions; I especially love the setting on the earrings ... dreamy

BWeaves, that Mint Linen is the perfect backdrop for so many pearls; classic white summer looks, and now insanely Blue ... WOW!
 
Thank you, BWeaves and CatMom! Yeah, I guess it’s hard to get any sympathy when it was such a fantastic stash to play with.

Ahhhh, dreamy goldens, Red! My all time favorites are those golden keshi. I remember standing by you when we were looking in that very very special box.

BWeaves, I love your new pendant! It’s so gorgeous and sparkly!

So pretty in your lavender mauvy shades, CatMom! Very fun layers for sure!
 
I know there's a PP South Sea Live Event today, so I'm wearing my best SS pearls to remind myself what I already have.

Mom's white SS pearl drop earrings from Mayor's Jewelers, I think. Pomme de la Mer pendant from the PP Hong Kong Live Event. Quite the impulse buy, but I get so many compliments on this pearl. It really does look like an apple with its green and pink overtones. It would be a hard pearl to match earrings to, so I like that the design of Mom's earrings complements the bail of the pendant.

Wow, BWeaves, that’s some unbelievable colour you have on today! And CatMom, your blue Akoyas and green Tahitian pendant are stunning! I love blue and green hues! Jeg, your Tahitians are breathtaking, as always! So much lustre!

Today I’m going out for lunch, and I’m wearing a pair of golden south sea pearls from JNB that I assembled with green CZ and gold-filled findings. I made them to match this lovely Swarovski necklace that my sweet husband bought me for our last anniversary.

I’m a bit picture-shy, so I hope you don’t mind that I blurred out my face! 😁

So smart to wear your "apple" of your eye to help limit the impulse buying! You know I love that pendant!
