Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[PearlyLibrarian]

PearlyLibrarian, you've put me in a light green mood. Pistachio Tahitian studs from Kojima. Pistachio and blue baroque akoyas from PP. Both strands look like soap bubbles in real life. I love how they nest. The blue strand is 17" and the pistachio is 18" long. There were a couple blue pearls that wouldn't let me pass a needle through when I restrung them, so the necklace accidentally ended up 17" long, and I really love the length.

So pretty, BWeaves!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments, Tiger!

Beautiful choices, PearlyLibrarian! Enjoy your new Tahitians!

A metallic strand from Kojima, with a keshi chain and seashell earrings I put together.

I think brown may not be the best color to wear with pink pearls, but they look better in real life than in the photos.

I like pink and brown together, myself. I have an inexpensive freshwater keshi necklace that's a mix of muted rose and chocolate (yes, dyed) and I always got compliments.

Dreamy and lovely combination of colors Jeg

Time for some Freshie love. Yesterday I was in blue wearing raggedy kasumi like pearls from Simply Adorned, which I had to restring due to the knots slipping through the large holes in the pearls, I think I did a great job! The shorter strand is from House of Pearls.

Purple shirt day showing the same short strand and a lovely pendant tin cup style chain from Simply Adorned! Yeah I hate my neck, but my it holds my head up so I should be grateful I guess

That little FW pendant looks like a baby T-REX! Love it. Pearl shapes are often like looking at clouds...everyone sees something different.

My first Tahitian strand which I bought from Kojima. I was swayed by the white gold and sapphire clasp. I'm a sucker for a good clasp. I need to take it to a jeweler and replace one of the sapphires that fell out. A small synthetic sapphire should do the trick. I just have to go do it. The bottom row of 3 sapphires, if you squint, you can see the middle stone is missing.

I remember buying and returning several strands of Tahitians before I found this strand. The necklace did not wow me in the box, but it came to life when I put it on. Mismatched Tahitian studs from Kamoka, peacock and lavender. They match this necklace nicely.

Dear pearl friends long time no seeLife has been challenging lately but this forum remains an oasis I often visit to soak in the pearl gorgeousness and wonderful vibes of all the lovely pearl enthusiasts here. I am so happy to see new members showing their treasures as well as new pictures of my old favorites ( I am looking at you Seaglass necklace ;-)

I have finally had some time to play with my own pearls this spring and as I am firmly ancored on ban island I am shopping in my jewelry box and have changed quite a few of my pieces. Here comes the latest version of my Bliss rope - we are at 96 pearls now…I removed all 6 freshies, added a few special colored Ts from my other pieces, changed the ombre positions and well …I am quite happy with the result. Wishing everyone lovely days and thank you for all the delicious pearly treats

 

[86Corvettegirl]

That is one gorgeous necklace, eolian!

 

[jeg]

Aww, thanks, 86C and eolian!

Eolian, I am so happy to see you and your pearls back in action! I am so sorry about life’s challenges and hope you are staying strong. Wow, I absolutely love what you have done with your Bliss rope. It looks fabulous! I hope you have more time to come out and play now that our shared favorite seasons (Spring and Summer) are upon us.

 

[eolian pearls]

Thank you 86C! Thank you jeg Yessss our favorite seasons are here and it looks like I will have some time until the summer madness hits to share some new pics;-) I have totally reworked some of my akoya pieces inspired by your long SS akoya mixed rope you posted some months ago ;-)

I do love this version of Bliss strand. I remember when I first came to this forum I saw Baby Nurses’s ombre and it seemed like an impossible dream to have something similar;-) So I purposely wore it with white top as per her picture to remind myself that yes pearl dreams do come true Here it is doubled which I kind of like as well… Happy and peaceful weekend everyone!

A repeat of my Edison and Tahitian ombré necklace and striped shirt combo, this time with these cute and very symmetrical circle Tahitian dangles from Te Hotu Mana. Bonus joy and whimsy brought by the French beret-wearing dachshunds on my socks wearing the same shirt.
