Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[SydK]

eolian pearls I adore that tin cup - fabulous colours on the pearls, and the proportions of the chain are just right. I’ve never wanted a tin cup before, but I’m definitely considering it now…

I have to agree wholeheartedly! It's just perfect

eolian, Margaret's work is wonderful isn't it? Enjoy your new necklace, it a beauty!

 

[Charlotta]

KauaiAnne congratulations. You look lovely together. And your pearls are gorgeous as well.
eolian pearls. Amazing tincup and how very practical... About those blue bracelets...wasn't me...really it wasn't. I bought those almost a year ago

So happy to see you back with your beautiful pearls, SydK!

eolian, I’m delighted you liked my tin cup idea, and yours turned out beautifully!

Wow, SurfnSci, that is a killer color! Looks wonderful in your ring.

Congratulations KauaiAnne!! Wishing you much happiness and joy together!

Even though Pearls By The Bay was postponed, a few of us diehards decided to keep our reservations and meet up for a Kojima/Pacific Pearls rendezvous. Sunseeker and I met up in San Francisco, and toured around the city for a few days. It could not have been a nicer week to be in the Bay Area. Warm, clear blue skies, and quiet streets after the summer rush. We met up with Pattye, AzFlyGirl, and a few other friends at the Kojima Studio later in the week.

Grrr… I am using a new iphone and the photos are not uploading

 

[jeg]

Well, I was able to upload one pic from my iPad. Will try to post photos from the studio visit in the members’ other thread later.


Back home, wearing golden SS Myanmar pearls from Druzy.

 

[CortezPearls]

Great to have you back jeg
Love your Burmese SSPs!

 

[SurfnSci]

Thank you so much, SydK, Charlotta, Echo, Pearlescence, Eolian and Jeg!!!

SydK Those are lovely CMW circles and look perfect with your tahitian/bead/keshi mixed necklace
eolian pearls WOW - that is an amazing tin cup!!!! Beautiful pearls, and such a clever convertible design by Jeg! Gosh, now I really want to try to make something similar once I depart Ban Island, haha. (And the pearl in my ring is 8.7 mm)
KauaiAnne Huge congratulations to you both! You looked radiant in that gorgeous torsade necklace, and what an incredible list of pearl "designers"
jeg Your GSS are sooo pretty!!! Those are really awesome colors; I especially like the green-gold. ones. Looking forward to the other pics from your trip!

 

[echo]

jeg the green tones in your Burmese pearls are amazing!!! The two strands shine beautifully with your outfit

 

[SydK]

jeg those Myanmar pearls are so beautiful! Love that luster.
White freshwater pearls and white linen for me today, as we head into Summer here in the Southern Hemisphere.

 

[jeg]

Thank you, Douglas, SurfnSci, echo, and SydK! SydK, sigh... heading into summer... I wish! Your all white combo is perfect for that- just lovely!

Tahitian, and Tahitian keshi, chain from Kojima, with earrings I put together using copper discs from a San Francisco artist.

 

[CortezPearls]

That giant "fireball" is stunning SydK the necklace is gorgeous too...love the rondelles in-between the pearls too, adds a nice flair
And wow...just when we are kind of tired of Summer and waiting for Winter, you are now heading into the steamy portion of your year!

Hey jeg those copper discs are interesting, if you had not told us their origin, I would have thought they are mother-op-pearl buttons from the Mabe-gai oyster. They add an interesting look to the earrings. Love your chain with beautiful keshi and pearls...specially love those blue ones!

Have a blessed weekend everyone ​​​​​​​

 

[jeg]

Thanks, Douglas! I’ll have to look that up! I bought the copper discs when I was there this summer. Sunseeker and I found the same artist on this trip and bought a few more things.

 

[SydK]

jeg those copper earrings are so pretty. I agree with Douglas that I would have guessed MoP if you hadn’t mentioned that they are copper.

More light-coloured pearls for me today - this time silvery-white Tahitians

 

[Charlotta]

Pretty pearls jeg. How many earrings have you made now? They are all so pretty, even though that colorful anklet you made (I know not an earring) is probably my favorite
SydK very nice summery looks, your silvery white tahitians are stunning of course and that fireball so pretty

 

[CortezPearls]

Love how the silvery Tahitians look against your skin SydK
They really compliment your skin tone...and your smile

 

[jeg]

Thanks, SydK and Charlotta! SydK, I love silvery white Tahitians, and yours look wonderful on you! Charlotta, in two words, “Too many!” That was one of my pandemic hobbies and I was totally entertained!

A favorite little pair of Akoya earrings. My parents brought these back from a trip to Japan many, many years ago. I am amazed they did not get lost after rolling around in several jewelry boxes and many moves over the years. Worn with a coppery/pink/green metallic strand from Pacific Pearls.

 

[Charlotta]

Well jeg I have quite a number of fun bracelets, not sure how many. I did make 10 Happy bracelets over the summer...such pretty akoya earrings. I have been wearing smaller studs for months, very comfortable. Sometimes they doesn't even match my strands, there are so many colors in my bracelets that it doesn't matter anyway. Those lavender blue freshwater pearls that I finally drilled the broken findings out of have gotten a lot of use.

I have even worn them with golden south sea pearls.

 

[echo]

SydK love the combo of the white FW strand, large FW pendant and the linen shirt. They really belong together! I love your silvery white Tahitians too. I think silver Tahitians are really underrated. They are absolutely beautiful in their own way

 

[SydK]

Thanks Douglas, Jeg, Echo and Charlotta.
Echo, I really like silver Tahitians, too - but then, I like all Tahitians, especially baroque ones.

Jeg, you have so many wonderful pearls that I’d forgotten about these coppery freshwaters. The colour is glorious. And those akoya earrings are so sweet - how fortunate the didn’t get lost.

This was my first strand of Tahitians, and is still a favourite. They have a few blemishes, but the size, colour and lustre more than make up for that.
