Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Charlotta2.0]

So pretty eolian pearls. Your Bliss strand will be gorgeous when finished. Endless is really practical, at least with an ombre, however I don't like stringing endless strands, the last 8 pearls are a pain to get right, and I sometimes have trouble with the last pearl. But I do love the result. Adding a bigger pearl to a keshi strand didn't make me use mine more either. Wierd because it was really pretty. My tahitian keshistrand (not the one I made a tassel with nor the loose ones from last summer) are now a practical pearlchain. I can add a pendant on the strand or add a pendant to the clasp or use it as a triple bracelet. I use it more now. My smallish akoya keshis are loose right now. The drillholes are painfully tiny.

Thank you, Echo, Charlotta and Eolian!

echo Oh my goodness, I love your mixed strand! The colors are divine and I love the different shapes that make it very interested and also really work with the shorter length! It pairs really well with your gorgeous Kamoka studs. (Very pretty blue color shirt, too, that really makes the golds in your necklace pop)

eolian pearls I truly cannot wait to see your final Bliss strand!!! The colors and luster thus far are just fantastic. And I really like your keshi redesign with the large pearl centerpiece!

I just love your keshi & Tahitian pearl bracelet Eolian ...it's just PERFECT!

Thank you Charlotta, Douglas, eolian pearls and SurfnSci!

CortezPearls totally agree with what you said about practicality. For me if it’s not practical it will just end up collecting dust

@eolianpearls look forward to seeing the new look of your bliss strand. The keshi and T necklace looks very lovely. Looks gorgeous worn as a bracelet

Thank you for the keshi necklace love Charlotta, echo, CortezPearls and @SurfnSci!

No pearly packages for me this week, but I am always playing with the Bliss and changing my mind ;-) As of today I am back to strand with a clasp mode so I can wear it double...It will be a rope, I have taken a short holiday off the ban island and got some new Ts to make that happen... It basically still counts as finishing last years project;-)

Just stunning eolian pearls. So many pretty colors.

Thanks everyone!! SurfnSci, your paperclip layering is a success! Gorgeous goldens, too! Jun, at JNB is so nice to work with. Echo, your blue top makes for a beautiful background. I love your strand from Katbran! She puts together some very nice pieces, and of course, I love anything Kamoka. Eolian, your Bliss work in progress has a yummy transition of colors. It has been beautiful at every stage. That keshi strand looks fantastic as a wrapped bracelet. I love it!

Wearing a strand of Tahitians from PP, with a Tahitian pearl and keshi necklace from Kojima, and earrings I put together.

Yay! Success with uploading!!! Thanks for making the update painless.

 

[CortezPearls]

Happy to hear that it has been a Good Update and we will no longer have these upload issues jeg Lovely pearl necklace layering
Happy Weekend to all!

 

[SurfnSci]

Happy weekend, everyone!

jeg Thank you!!! And I agree, Jun is awesome. I love, love, love your most recent look! So many beautiful tahitians and keshis, and your earrings are just gorgeous. I think I remember you enhanced them from a San Francisco artisan? Sigh, they are so stunning.

eolian pearls I agree with Charlotta, so many beautiful colors! Creating the Bliss rope is definitely deserving of a trip off Ban Island

 

[eolian pearls]

Thank you Charlotta, jeg and SurfnSci!
jeg As always your pearls are all so beautiful! SurfnSci I do hope the pistacchios will be worth the trip off the ban island! I think I have gotten quite good at reading pearl pictures but there still are some surprises coming my way, for example I got one “aqua blue” pearl in my last package that is simply a (boring) grey under any light...Yes yes ýes I did get my pearly package!!! I and am sharing some pictures and hoping to brighten a bit these dark times we are living in right now...

So here comes the keshi set from Molly of Keshico at Etsy. Thank you echo for introducing her shop! I LOVE this set! The keshis are lovely light greys and even whites and they are just glowing on leather. It was a custom piece and Molly is so wonderful to work with!

Then there are Takahashi grey akoya studs and one white pink floating pearl, all 8,5-9mm. Impossible to capture their glow, let’s just say I gasped when I opened my package, they are amazing!

And lastly an updated Bliss. A few purples and yes “the acqua blue” is also somewhere there ;-)
Wasnt really a neckshot day today hopefully later this week.

 

[CortezPearls]

Wow! That keshi set is...is hard to describe...it's Luminous! I love it!

 

[echo]

eolian pearls what a gorgeous set you’ve got. It is so beautiful even I’m tempted lol. Look forward to seeing the photos of the keshi necklace in action

 

[CathyKeshi]

Such lovely pearls and pieces and outfits! LOVE those new super lustrous keshi pieces Eolian, and BLISS is looking more beautiful with every day's changes ... wow! Thanks for sharing, all!

 

[jshepherd]

I love the keshis! What a great way to incorporate them.

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Such pretty strands jeg

Amazing keshis eolian pearls and even more amazing, your Bliss strand. Maybe that aqua blue (not aqua blue) pearl would look more aqua next to some other blue pearls. I accidentally discovered a minty green tahitian in a pile of mixed tahitians. I had sorted it with some other grey tahitians. Probably from some ministrand...when I put them on a white plastic thinghy that secures the windows and prevents the escape of Kycklingen (the chicken, that would be my cat). Anyway that plastic thinghy on a white window sill really brings out the colors, when it's overcast that is. I use that plastic thinghy a lot. It has groves in it so the pearls doesn't fall of.
Kycklingen did indeed escape through the front door last week, but froze on the steps. No sun, no smallish birds. Only snow and wind. Too icky said Kycklingen and returned demanding treats. Someone has stolen the summer she said, and only the darn kitten as company during the day. She went to the cat doctor to not have kittens and what happens, she said. Shortly after she did indeed get a kitten, albeit not by herself. We bought a kitten she says. Darn kitten she says, almost three years old and still a kitten. But the head is small, the paws are small and the tail like that of a rat...only the middle section round. Has to be a kitten says Kycklingen...

Thank you all!!! Luminous is the right word for these keshis Douglas! Here is the promised neckshot, the keshis glow under any light...@echo you should definitely go for these!

Charlotta I wish wish the aqua blue color would come out but until now I have seen maybe just a tiny little hint of blue in the sea of grey...A comparison with my other “aqua blue” and “silver aqua blue” from my Love strand.

 

[SurfnSci]

eolian pearls Oh my goodness, those keshis are just gorgeous! And your takahashi studs are like little mirror balls! Your neck and wrist shots look fantastic

 

[CortezPearls]

Looks Splendid!

 

[Charlotta2.0]

I agree that some colors are hard to see eolian pearls. Sometimes maybe wishful from the sellers side. Like when south sea pearls are described as gold and they really are white with a hint of cream....if you squint and the light is warm...
Your Bliss strand is going to be marvellous when finished. The colors are so pretty
