Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

Subscribes to the 'less is more' aesthetic. No whiplash this time. A pattern is emerging (until it is broken).

Bahaus?

Thanks SteveM, they are a fun mix!

A custom necklace of dangly SS keshi on an adjustable slide chain from Takahashi. I made the earrings with Myanmar golden SS.

Love this!

Pomelo: I love the contrast in size and the contrast in color!

Thank you!

Thanks so much, SteveM and CatMom!!!

Always love seeing the little h, BWeaves!

They look great together, Pomelo! How are the new studs feeling on your earlobes?

Years ago, I sent two strands of SS keshi to Kojima to use in two custom necklaces. Both necklaces have push orbit clasps on all ends so they can be configured a number of ways. I made the other necklace with some of the SS keshi and two bracelets from PP. On a visit to the PP vault, there were a handful of golden SS harvest bracelets from the farm in the Philippines. The earrings are from Kojima.

Thanks! They feel okay for short periods, I haven’t worn them for longer than a couple of hours yet

Really loving your keshi/harvest strands @jeg ! The soft colours and the organic shapes are beautiful. Are there some Tahitians in here too, or are they dark blue SS?

Thanks so much, BWeaves, SteveM, CatMom and Pomelo! Haha- SteveM, it’ll always be a keep you guessing game here… no pattern to follow at all

Pomelo, I pulled up some old pics for you to show the mix-
Here are the two original harvest bracelets I was able to get on a visit to the PP vault. True harvest pieces, they are all golden SS pearls assembled at the same farm. They show the range of colors from creamy, silvery, pistachio, blue to deep gold.

This is the necklace I made mixing in a few SS keshi from a HK show.

I sent a couple of the keshi strands to Sarah and asked for a custom piece using the keshi. She made two different lengths with a mix of SS and there are also a few blue Akoya sprinkled in. (the large golden SS pendant is also from Kojima)

Staying light and cool, a tiny cowrie shell necklace with coral and keshi from Kojima, with earrings I made. The clasp is a tiny gold vintage heart.

To continue with the baseball analogy, when facing a pitcher with a delivery as fast, accurate and varied as yours the hitter is lost if he tries to guess. He can only react and trust his instincts.

It's a privilege to follow your passion and see the superb results!

Thank you for sharing the process - I haven’t really encountered any yet, hope to stumble across some beautiful harvest strands in future!

I am gobsmacked at how blue some of the SS are as I’ve not seen it in real life before, absolutely gorgeous

Happy Birthday to me. I'm looking forward to the PP/Kojima Live event today, and trying hard not to buy anything. I've bought too many gorgeous pearls this year including the ones in these photos. Then again, it's my birthday and I'll buy if I want to, buy if I want to, buy if I want to. You would buy too if it happened to you!

Yesterday, Takahashi BBA pendant and Kojima dyed freshwater drops and white topaz earrings.

Today, The Divine Sarah pendant, Hisano's favorite Kasumi pearl (diamond bail) on a hoop earring, and Sarah's Kojima Kasumi pearl (ruby bail) on the other earring. I love that the bails match in design, but have different gemstones. It's the only way I can easily tell these two pendants apart.

Happy Birthday!!!

 

[jeg]

Happy, happy Birthday, BWeaves! Hope you had the most fabulous day!

Thank you so much, SteveM, Pomelo and pearlgirl12!

Pomelo, the blue pearls in the harvest bracelet lengths are actually large keshi. I pulled out one of my harvest ropes assembled at the same golden SS farm. There were a handful of these available at one of the PP Ruckuses. Some of the large blue keshi are interspersed in the rope.

I love these mixed pearl strands...so unique!

 

[BWeaves]

Thanks everyone! I had a wonderful day. And I ended it with drooling all over the Kojima pearls in the Live Event. That was my kinda party. I have to redo my landscaping, so my pearl budget is going to plants this month.

Thanks, Douglas!

Wearing a leather Jewelmer bracelet, with a golden SS strand, and earrings I made. The vintage seashells were collected by my friend’s father who worked on the Marshall Islands in the 50’s/60’s.
