studs (i don't like my massive earlobes but i just discovered they are great at holding big earrings-yes they have uses after all)

Bailey, all i have to say is WoW! that pendant is so beautiful!

 

[GemGeek]

Earrings - fantastic! Pendant is out of this world. Together they are a knockout.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Beautiful, Bailey! I'm surprised at how big that pendant is; it just glows! And I'm jealous of those earlobes LOL ... I have no earlobes to speak of , so could never wear those lovely studs

Brenda, thank you. It is very special to me. I like having a two-in-one SSP

Thanks CathyK, the pendant is only 13.6mm but i think the camera angle enlarged it a bit. Smaller earlobes=smaller pearls=more money in your wallet thanks for making me feel better though LOL

 

[CathyKeshi]

LOL, Bailey ... nah, it doesn't work that way, sadly for my wallet ... I'm wearing big pink metallic drops earrings tonight ... dangles on small posts instead of studs

They're lovely, Bailey1856. I know this was one of your first major online purchases. I'm glad it worked out for you.

No, It doesn't. it just goes towards more pearl purchases. LOL
How about a pic of those metallic drops?

Thank you Cyndayco. Whew. LOL. Online buying can be tricky but i think i'm beginning to figure out the difference between glamour and IRL shots. (I hope)

And now for something somewhat old fashioned - nothing like all the beauties that have been posted here, and I don't just mean the ageing neck!!
Took my avatar out tonight...
And yes, I still do love them dearly after all these years.

Here's my first purchase from Sarah at Kojima and it's just the beginning of a long relationship I'm sure!!!

"This necklace features vintage Japan Akoya and baroque Japan Kasumi pearls strung for a classic multi-layered look. The natural color cream Akoya pearls vary in size from 6-8.5mm with some natural dimpling and fine luster. The Japan Kasumi pearls vary from 10.4 -10.9mm with an iridescent light pink natural color, natural rippling. The 41" necklace can be worn long or doubled for two different looks."

I learned from Sarah that many Akoyas look like this before they're bleached and I love the various colors from cream to golden. And these are also my first Kasumis! I'm wearing it doubled but you can also see what it looks like long. Thanks Sarah!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oh, Pkinnew, SIGH, that necklace is so very beautiful

Happy Huku, nothing as lovely as that necklace is ever "old fashioned" ... what are the red beads? Ruby, garnet ... ? VERY pretty!

 

[Happy Huku]

Oh how beautiful, your necklace is a masterpiece.
I love my old akoyas and to see them done into a stunning necklace like yours mixed with the kasumi is wonderful.
Enjoy!

Thank you Cathy, apparently the red beads are rubies. As the old akoyas 'died' and the string got shorter, I had to find some 'fillers', the beads were a gift.

Ahh, Pkinnew, those are some proper, near-golden ivory tones. I love the colors in this piece.
