Lurking on Pearl Guide has introduced me to the Good pearl companies (Pearl Paradise, Kojima etc.), but before I found PG, my idea of a nice place to buy jewelry was the mall, and those chains were where I started buying pearls. I wince at most of those purchases now, but there are two major exceptions: my Tahitian necklace from Macy’s, and this, a silver-and-freshwater drop station/tin cup-style sautoir from Zales which is possibly the necklace I wear most often. Long, doubled, alone, layered - it’s highly versatile.
On a notebook on my desk:
Two ways I wore it to work this week: first doubled and layered with a topaz pendant my mother gave me for Christmas ,
And then long layered with a tiny drop pearl chain and pearl tassel pendant: ,
Thanks, PD. We had an awesome dinner & celebrated with chocolate martinis! While I'm on a buying band, I still want a mixed white & golden SS strand & I think I would like another GSS strand in a deeper shade of gold, too. I can't seem to get enough of pearls, especially SS & Tahitians.
I love the long station necklaces. To me, they're versatile with being able to wear them long or doubling them for a layered look. Yours look wonderful on you! Is the pearl tassle a pendant or an enhancer?
Thank you, Jeg. OMG!!! Your pearls are beautiful. I especially like your SOC pendant & the Seaglass Tahitian paired together. And the Tahitian ombré is fantastic. I'm such a sucker for ombré strands!
A couple of our forum members have this 14k hinged enhancer with interchangeable hook, which makes a pendant more versatile. It may only come in yellow gold, not sure.
I can't own them all, but here I can share them vicariously! I love everything. Corvette Girl, you look amazing in those GSSPs. Jeg, I will never tire of that Seaglass strand and, oh my, that Burmese strand! Thank you and more, please...
86C and Jeg - what a magnificent collection of beauties you both have. I've never seen ombré necklaces like that. Are they costume designs?
I can see being a part of Pearl Forum, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Sigh!
