Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Red]

Annie -Love those aquas. Gorgeous rope.

Luvglitz- Nice choice of the Fiji strands. Strong colors and great shapes.

I am enjoying these souffles. They give a totally different vibe than a strand of small round pearls. More of a power vibe. And, with their light weight, they are so easy to wear. Thanks for the nice comments.

How lucky to be able to borrow the SoC necklace, Battah. So pretty!

Red, you were definitely dressed to impress with your statement pieces!

Kalmen, I agree, you can never have too many T’s.

Really beautiful overtones on your rope, annie!

Luvglitz! Can’t wait to see more photos of that strand!

I am so behind on this thread...

 

[Pareltje]

Luvglitz - pretty Fiji pearl necklace, neck shot please.
annie - love your aqua Tahitians.
I put away all my pearls in the vault since soon I'm going to travel again to a warm place. I did leave a few cheapos with me. Here's one of them, a beaded necklace with some white freshwater pearls fringe.

Ah I saw the Fiji sale too late. Can't wait to see yours!

Those aqua are gorgeous!!! Love it against the grey

A fun layered look.

Cool beaded necklace. Love the "Girl with a pearl earring" centerpiece and the scalloped necklace, and of course the fringe!

OMG, so many other goodies. I need to see Fijis in person, I think. The photos were just too brown for me. I hope that's just my monitor making them look dull, because everyone raves about them in person. I know I had the same problem with Tahitians until I saw them in person. Photos just don't do them justice.

Annie, your aqua strand really “pops” and show it’s color. I bought an iridescent green strand from the Black Friday sale too, but so far I have taken abysmal neck shots of it. I just can’t get it’s colors to reveal themselves. I have to try another room with different natural light.

Hey Ladies! The SoC strand that is currently on a playdate with Battah is actually the strand I rehomed from pkinnew when she sold her pearl collection. I wanted to acknowledge that since it is always a special moment when we see pkinnew's strand being rehomed by fellow PGers and making appearances on the forum. It is also the sibling strand to Gabby Giffords' strand and debut at the Ruckus a few years back.

Since I've been wearing mostly ropes, the mabe strand has been a bit neglected so I sent them to battah for fostering over the holidays! Including a few more original glamour shots and ruckus photos here.

luvglitz I can't wait to see the Fijis! They seem to be such a mystery, I'm looking forward to seeing some in person at some point.

annie, those aquas are great with that sweater.

Pareltje, fun necklace!

Kalmen, I like that combo, very cute.

Purrrrrrr I feel so special wearing this gorgeous necklace, thank you for letting it visit me It's beautiful on its own but the story makes it even better. Also, it was a hit with the little girls at my daughter's first grade party yesterday, they kept telling me it was pretty

 

[jshepherd]

That Tahitian rope is stunning on you! I remember that Cortez necklace too. It's actually in the Pearls as One course!

 

[Purranha]

I remember that Cortez necklace too. It's actually in the Pearls as One course!

lolol I did not remember that. This SoC Mabe necklace sure gets around!

 

[BWeaves]

The Tahitian rope is stunning, and so are the SoC mabes. I can't wait to see neck shots of the Fijis.

I took my Kojima Tahitian tin-cups out for a spin today with my Komoka B/W studs and Mom's cameo girl with a diamond earring.



Yesterday I wore my PP Tahitian strand nested inside my Kamoka Tahitian strand, with my Kojima T and opal drop earrings. The two necklaces don't match at all, but I love them together.

Red, jeg, Pareltje, kalmen22, Luvglitz, battah, Jeremy, and BWeaves, Thank you for the complements on my Tahitian rope.

Luvglitz, I hope you post pictures of your strand!

BWeaves, your pearls are lovely but I especially enjoy your mom's cameo.

 

[Katbran]

annie - The colours in your T rope are absolutely gorgeous ! I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat !!

Purr- That is a beautiful necklace, the colours are mesmerising !

BWeaves - you know I love those little Keshi necklaces !! And those Opal drop earrings ... fab !

 

[Pareltje]

BWeaves, I really love your keshi necklaces from Kojima. They look great worn together.

 

[CathyKeshi]

BWeaves those 2 keshi tincup necklaces look fabulous worn together!

 

[annie]

Thank you katbran for the compliment about the aqua rope.

I'm still on the fence about my round Tahitian rope, mostly because of the color. I'm wearing it at home today in a monochromatic look with my heather grey top. I'm loving the round pearls (I only have one other strand of Tahitian rounds) and the change in size from front to back is well done.

The front pearls are a nice 10.5mm...so no complaints there



We have good light here this afternoon so I've been taking a few pictures. Here they are in the "light box":

 

[Red]

BWeaves - Those two Kojima keshi station necklaces look fabulous together.

Annie - That is a gorgeous Tahitian round rope, but I don't think it is at its best against your grey top. I bet it will pop against a white shirt, for example.

These are real Fiji pearls, but I used two bracelets, a pendant, and an extender to assemble a "faux" necklace. Just for fun on a casual Saturday at home.

 

[annie]

Wow Red! I love your Fiji necklace! The colors are beautiful. I didn't understand the fuss when I saw them for sale this week...but seeing a real life shot changes my mind.

 

[Red]

Thank you, Annie. But, remember, these Fiji pearls were selected one by one for the most vibrant colors. Premade strands are at a disadvantage as they may contain pearls that I would not have chosen for my bracelets.

 

[annie]

Thanks Red for the clarification! You choices are beautiful.
