Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[BWeaves]

That's stunning.

I haven't posted in a while.

My baroque T's from Kojima and Mom's ruby swan and ruby heart earrings. These T's really reflect the clothing they are on. They're not ombre in real life.



Today, layers. My original rope, which I've restrung on Beader's Secret. It's now shorter than it used to be. It needs to relax a little. My deep blue Vietnamese akoyas from PP, and my natural white Hanadamas from PP. Earrings are blue baroque coffee beans from Kojima. And one of Mom's cameos with a diamond earring.

I love the colors in your first photo there, BWeaves! They coordinate so well.

How very pretty! What mm are these? (The long ones in the second photo).

BWeaves, I love your blue akoya strand with that jacket.

I've been wearing a lot my long Tahitian rope with the 8 to 9 mm pearls. I recently hooked it to another T rope for a triple strand look:



I didn't wear it today with this top but this pictures has better color:

Just lovely, Annie!

 

[BWeaves]

How very pretty! What mm are these? (The long ones in the second photo).

The Hanadamas are 8 mm.
The blues are 6-6.5 mm. It was a combination of two strands
The shortest strand is 5.5-6 mm.

I'm so behind here - BWeaves, I just love that swan brooch, it's really gorgeous. And the pearls, of course.

Annie, love those layers!! So decadent.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

It's great to be back online!

These are color-shifting pearls from PP in the gold-peach-pink color, bought back in 2011. I have a hard time capturing the green and pink overtones that some of the pearls have.

Man I had PG withdrawal yesterday! Those are beautiful, PD.

Here’s my POTD from yesterday - working from home today, so I’m not accessorized wearing Purr’s SoC mabes and my (finally repaired!) hydrangea ring.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Splendid, Battah! Love them all.
We're heading out to do some grocery shopping. It's raining but at least it's not so cold today. One day's reprieve before the temp drops again.

 

[Pareltje]

Great pearls here. I've been absent for a while because of the holiday. And today I couldn't get to the forum since morning, so glad I'm able to access the PG forum again this evening.
Btw was it just me or was there a problem with the website?

 

[BWeaves]

I'm glad you could repair that amazing ring. Was it difficult?

 

[battah]

PD the weather has been crazy! Today the high is 65, and tomorrow it's dropping down to a low in the teens. I'm getting whiplash... At any rate I'm enjoying the weather today. The air has been so cold and dry, so today I have all the windows open in the house and am letting in that moisture. The humidity will be down to 15% by the morning...

Pareltje, nice to see you! I couldn't get on PG yesterday afternoon either, I assumed it was down for a bit?

BWeaves, it wasn't too hard! I had some fun with the repair - it's hard to see from the front but I added a thick garnet inlay on the underside of the flowers to reattach the broken petal and to reinforce the whole thing. Pic attached (oy someone please teach me to resize these things so I stop posting enormous photos).

 

[CathyKeshi]

Thank goodness you're all back !!!

 

[battah]

Heya Cathy!

 

[Pareltje]

Battah, yes I'm glad to be back on PG again after a pearl-less holiday. And I thought it was my firewall or something which stopped me from getting on PG. I did witness one of the most spectacular sunsets during the holiday.

 

[baby nurse]

Oh my gosh, stunning sunset, Pareltje! Nothing but grey skies and rain here today, though like battah, I’m welcoming the humidity.

So glad to see PG up and running again!

Gorgeous pearls, BWeaves, Annie, Pearl Dreams, and battah (absolutely amazed that you made that, battah!).

 

[Sanippy]

Gorgeous pearls BWeaves, I love all of your ropes and your baroque Ts are wonderful.

Annie, beautiful pastel Ts!

Pearl Dreams, your colour shifting freshies are amazing. Love the metallic luster and the colours really suit you.

Gorgeous combination Battah. Love seeing your creations!

Pareltje, that sunset is stunning!

My sister in SSP keshi studs (Cees) and a freshwater keshi tin cup bracelet.

 

[Pareltje]

Wow Sanippy, your sister must be thrilled. Those pearls look fabulous on her.

 

[Sanippy]

Thanks battah! Yeah, she loves them! Made my SSP keshi tin cup as well.
