Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Pearl Dreams]

It fits you so well! I can see why you love that cooler tone.

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you Pearl Dreams, warmtoned pearls don't always agree with my complexion. I am thrilled with these.

Some truly exciting news!

Now that the special project from the Akoya thread has finished, I've managed to finagle a way to keep the lovely strand "in the family," so to speak

So, here's Mom taking some world-grade Akoya pearls out for a spin:

So delighted to see your Mom in these lovely pearls, Andrew; she wears them so well!

Thank you Pearl Dreams, warmtoned pearls don't always agree with my complexion. I am thrilled with these.

I almost said “What are Wanton Pearls, and why don’t they agree with you?” but I see...oops.

Andrew M, that is one crazy strand of Akoya!

Enjoy your new strand, Charlotta! You certainly have added some beautiful new pieces this year.

Thanks, everyone! BWeaves, it’s old. It’s a lined sweater and if I am remembering correctly it’s from Sundance.

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you Jeg, I surtainely did.

Andrew- your mother's Akoya strand is surreal- it is just that beautiful. So glad you were able to keep that special Akoya necklace in the family.

Charlotta- the beautiful goldens look great with your skin tone and they look so luxurious. They must feel amazing to wear.

Andrew I'm sure your mom is thrilled with that strand ! An early holiday present !

Charlotta - Lovely size to those GSS they look great on you !

This is one of my first stringing attempts. A 9mm FW rope from Kongs. The pearls were described as mirror luster, ivory. They color shift quite a bit. In different lighting they change from ivory pink, to gold, to silvery lilac.

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you Gemandpearllover and Katbran, they really do feel luxurious. I hope that I get some better photo light this weekend so that I can show you how gorgeous they really are.
Gemandpearllover, that’s a pretty rope. After my first stringings of vintage akoyas I did knot a 100+" rope of maybe 6-7 mm freshwaters. It was 100" before knotting. On silk, it took a while.

 

[jeg]

Gemandpearlover, that’s an ambitious first attempt! You must’ve perfected your technique by the end, and I like your choice of color shifting pearls.

Wearing a Tahitian strand from PP and an ombré strand from Kojima-

 

[Charlotta]

Jeg, that ombre strand is perfect. So pretty. What pearls do you think is in it?

 

[BeadersSecret]

Andrew M, what an awesome dreamy strand of Akoya pearls ....stunning they are.

Carlotta, the colour is gorgeous and drool worthy, the only thing is, I now have the song Mellow Yellow in my head

GemandPearlLover, love the rope as a wrap bracelet - well done you, on stringing the rope.

Jeg, love the two strands together, they really compliment each other.

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you Bernadette, it really is amazing and I am truly grateful for having such an amazing pearl year.

 

[SydK]

Gorgeous pearls, everyone. Such colour and lustre.

So I finally took some photos of the pearls I have worn this last week. The ones I took the accually day that I was wearing them turned out quite terrible, so I retook them today. That's why I am wearing the same warm but worn sweater that I only use indoors. Smallest cat have perforated it some. In the beginning of the week I wore my new big tahitian strand from Pearlescence with my white south sea huggies.


Then I wore my new deep golden south sea strand from Cees with my copper green tahitian earrings, also from Cees.




I had my blue tahitian strands and blue studs from Pearlescence one day but forgot to photograph them. They looked so blue whenever I caught a glimps of them during the day.


Then I wore my new big tahitian strand from Pearlescence and my rikitea strand from Cees, first nested and then as a rope,again with the white south sea huggies.



Today I wore my rainbow strand and new colorchanging edisons huggies from Pearlescence. The rainbow strand is freshly restrung since the knots looked a bit worn when I inspected it cloesly. I have worn that strand a lot since I got it.
