86C, I especially like the ombré strand! Gemgeek, love your ring combo and that special pearl! Mtummybear, I really like your colorful Tahitians!
Took some photos before heading to lunch today. Sea of Cortez keshi necklace from Kojima, and baroque Akoya earrings from Simply Adorned.

These are gorgeous!! I love the 2 strands together!!!Last night was our last symphony concert for the season. I went all out and dressed to the nines with my "big boys". I am wearing my very first Tahitian strand bought 15 years ago in Hong Kong before going on a cruise. They are peacock and 12-15+mm. The second strand is a relatively current purchase from a gem show I attended a few years ago. The pearls on this necklace are also 12-15mm. Now I will succumb to 95+ heat here in the south and play it casual. However, I will wear pearls almost everyday but a little more sedate.

Welcome, Jesscat! I love your Tahitian. I also love Kauai- you were up near some of my favorite beaches on earth.
Kauai is just magical. I'd live on the North Shore if I could. Maybe when I retire and have less people anchoring me in the mainland. I *love* your keshi necklace from Kojima! The designs there just blow my mind.
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes Once upon a time, I would say that I would NEVER wear pearls - turns out it's just the white freshwaters that seem to always wind up as bridesmaid's necklaces that I wasn't into I'm loving learning about all the types and colors!
86C, that ombre strand is absolutely to die for, and I love that ring as well!
So after years of admiring Etienne Perret's Ceramique bands, I finally lost enough weight to wear one. (Since you can't size ceramics) I adore all of his designs, but this simple girly pink band makes my heart sing. And the 3mm size stacks nicely.
