Beautiful pearls everyone as always!!!!
Jeg, your goldens are so so dreamy and I love your layering of all the different colorful tahitians! Such a treat for eyes!
86C love the tin cup! Your picture convinced me that I really REALLY need a light pearls tin cup as well!
“All Josh” is truly something special BWeaves!
I have received a tiny pearl package this week with two pairs of Edison studs for me (and my sis) and I do love them!!! Now I am waiting for that full strand that should...probably.... be for my sister... Have paired the studs with my rainbow Ts on leather here, I this I will wear this combination very often!
Wishing everyone a beautiful Sunday!
Eolian: Wow, those rainbow T's really glow. I love the colors. And on the leather, they really stand out. I love the look of pearls on leather, but I'm afraid the leather wouldn't hold up in Florida. Between rain and sweat, I feel like the leather would get stiff and grungy, which is a shame, because I love the look.
You might want to take a look at Kamoka for that. They use kangaroo leather and it'll hold up for daily showering as well as surfing.
Oh, my! I'm loving the Tahitians, Jeg & BW!!! Colors are so special.
I wore my 9.5-10mm Akoya strand from PP with SS enhancer from David Norman to dinner with the in laws. I paired them with my ruby, diamond, Akoya pearl earrings, 2 SS bracelets from David Norman, & my ruby & pearl Empress ring.
I don't know why I can't post full images or make pics larger. Sorry.
Yes, I think you need a special kind of leather for surfing or for “intense” use. I have a simple leather on my bracelets and necklace, I use one of my bracelets all summer for swimming as well but after two months I remake it just to be sure.
We had a photographer with his surfer wife on the island some years ago doing a photoshoot, they were staying at a friends house and I was waiting for them at the port. The first thing I see is a gorgeous Ts leather neckace on her!!! So of course my first question is about the pearls Turns out the photographer’s cousin lives in Mexico and makes leather pearl jewelry...Using a special resistent hand rolled leather in her designs. I immediately checked her site, it is called TerreMerLove and there are some lovely designs. Too pricey for me, but a great inspiration. The most important information was that the surfer has been wearing her necklace non stop for 4 years at the time and it was still holding up and looking great! They live in Costa Rica. I am sure there are leather options for Florida too BWeaves.
