Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Charlotta]

jeg so pretty akoya strands. Well those strands at druzydesign usually sells pretty quickly. I know, I put them in my watch list and then they were sold. I was busy buying circled south sea pearls I guess. I think that Druzydesign has an akoya strand with mixed sizes pearls. Recently at least.
AzFlyGirl, I hope that your doctors appointment went well. It's a gorgeous necklace. No wonder that you want more of the same design. I do the same with my wavestrands...and clothes. Unfortunately my buying the same pieces in different colors backfired in regards of T-shirts...they stopped making them and there I was with only were holey ones. Difficult when you shouldn't go th the store and try them on. They all look like swiss cheese...I have found a new version that I am trying out. Soft, yes, not restricting, yes, not tight around the neck, yes, blue, yes. I only have to see how they hold up in the wash. Usually that brand I found don't do that. Well it works for jeans and cashmere sweaters at least...

I could look at these photos and drool all day long. So happy to have found this forum and everyone sharing their photos. I am amazed with all of the beauty, the creativity, and kindness of all.

So glad to have you join in, Donna!

Thank you for the akoya keshi love everyone! I need to string these tiny pearls still...
Douglas I cant remember how big are the Vietnamese keshis, but luckily I have bought gauge calipers that should be delivered soon and I will let you know. I was curious to know the true size of some of my pearls because the declared size is sometimes confusing for me... I have a few 10-11mm pearls with big difference in size...so I just followed my obsessive instincts and bought calipers

Jeg I missed your ombres!!!! And WOW that is the most glorious ombre combination ever!!! Otherworldly...

AzflyGirl lovely tin cup, fantastic for the summer!

Donna welcome to the forum!

Yesterday was a Ripple day! I adore Ripples and cannot resist when they have a metallic luster. This is my 'pretty in pink" strand.
I purchased it a couple of years ago, during a PP sale. It is big, off round and has an incredible metallic luster. I find it delightfully captivating !

 

[DonnaH]

AzFlyGirl those are gorgeous!!

 

[TriciaS]

Jeg, eolianpearls, your lovely mixed akoyas pushed me to buy my first blue akoya necklaces. (It helped that the necklaces I have been eyeing for months are part of PP's vault sale!) AzFlyGirl, your ripples have so many beautiful colors...and what a nice size! Jeg...I love seeing another appearance of your ombre necklace...

 

[BWeaves]

Everyone's pearls are so gorgeous. I'm wearing pearls almost every day, but not photographing them. The lighting is terrible this time of year.

 

[DonnaH]

BWeaves I have found myself wearing the few pearls I have every day, even though I work from home - they make me feel special. Even the cheap China Etsy versions … patiently awaiting my new purchase and getting ready to purchase my cart from PP. my hubby may leave me But they make me happy.

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much everyone! Usually the full strands don’t get worn as much this time of year, but I do like to get them out, if not for just a little playtime.

AzFlyGirl, yes, pretty in pink! They look wonderful on you!

TriciaS and DonnaH, ooo, can’t wait to see your new pearls! I also found a little something in the vault sale...

DonnaH., I love that appreciation for all pearls. Baroques and mis-shaped pearls were once inexpensive cast offs, too. I love and appreciate the whole range, regardless of what price might be attached to it. AND, if hubby leaves you, tell him to do it sooner rather than later- then you can join us at Pearls By The Bay, instead of going to the in-laws reunion!

I made this little anklet last year. I like anklets, but I rarely take pictures of my ankles!

 

[CortezPearls]

Nice anklet! I rarely see them these days (well, being locked up inside my house does not help! ).
Oh those ripples are just so supple, large, mouth-watering! The metallic sheen is mesmerizing!

 

[jeg]

Ack- sorry Donna, I had you confused with Tricia, who is missing PBTB due to an in-law get together!

Thanks, Douglas!

 

[DonnaH]

jeg no problem with confusion. … I saw the gathering posts and literally looked at flights. Love the area! I would have brought the hubby along. I have show golden retrievers and will be going to our National show that same month …. So, I hope to be there in spirit and see everyone’s photos from the gathering.

love the anklet!! And I love those shoes. I have a similar pair in a soft purple that I love.

 

[DonnaH]

Ok….the mail came!!!!! I feel like a kid with a new toy. I put them on and immediately felt beautiful. It’s funny how there was so much magic in one little box. I have wanted a nice strand of pearls my whole life, and now 3.5 weeks away from turning 60 just look! They are perfect

 

[lisa c]

They’re absolutely beautiful with your skin. And I must say I love that color top.
Well done, great results, yaaaay!
also, great starters, size, glow, everything!

 

[CortezPearls]

They look gorgeous and fresh! Great purchase and I hope you will wear them in Health!

 

[jeg]

Donna, they are perfect! Happy early birthday to you!! I have a feeling you won’t be taking them off any time soon!

Thanks, Douglas and Donna! Donna, the shoes were handmade by a young Turkish gentleman who used to sell them at our local Saturday Market. They were all rather one of a kind because he would use scraps of leather. I have a couple other colors, too.

Green Tahitian strand from PP. I purchased these on my very first visit to the vault. Worn with a mixed Tahitian strand and earrings I made.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Ooh, everyone looks LOVELY! DonnaH, some dreams do take a lifetime, but WOW, you look wonderful in those beautiful new pearls and that bright top ... CONGRATULATIONS! (Also, we happen to have a PETS thread on here, so if anyone were interested in posting cute pictures of Golden Retrievers ... just saying lol) Also ... Jeg has CUTE shoes!!!
