Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[SurfnSci]

Sooo excited to catch up on everyone's gorgeous pearl looks today! @eolian pearls, your new SS pendant is a knockout!!! @SydK, lovely colors on your Wen pearls! @jeg, I am constantly amazed at your collection, wow, you have so many amazing pearls - those special tiny Collins Tahitians are absolutely fantastic.

Just returned from our 5-year-delayed honeymoon; traveling with pearls makes me nervous, but I did take some Robert Wan keshis and a pair of Atlas SS keshi studs, courtesy of Pearlescence.

I recognise those gorge little keishis - I should, I drilled every single one of them myself!

Wendy, thank you for all of your artistry and efforts in drilling and assembling them! The little keshis make me sooo happy every time I wear them

 

[pearlescence]

I - and they - are happy that you are happy.

Thank you, CathyKeshi and SurfnSci! SurfnSci, your delayed honeymoon pics look heavenly- beach, tropical flowers, and pearls…A belated congratulations to you!

Wearing Andy Muller/Hinata strands from Hong Kong with earrings I made.

 

[jshepherd]

I love those strands! We bought his entire collection at the show one year!

 

[CathyKeshi]

SurfnSci, hope you had a lovely belated honeymoon trip! I get nervous traveling with pearls, but never can leave them behind either

Jeg those Hinata strands are stunning; I especially like the wave pattern one!

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Those Andy Muller strand are gorgeous @jeg . Imagine the whole collection.

Thanks so much, Jeremy, CathyKeshi and Charlotta! Whoa, the whole collection?!? BabyNurse and I spent a long time going through all their cases, so that would be quite a haul!!! Charlotta, I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I am in love with your amigurumi characters. They are just so adorable!

Wearing my 6-7mm tiny Tahitian strand I put together with pearls from Collins Pearls, with a silvery white Tahitian, with lots of color play, pendant from PP. It is set on a little h bail. The other two pieces are from Kojima. A pearl medley strand, and dainty vintage Akoya earrings from the family archives. I don’t have enough surface space to take them all in the same pic without looking like a jumbled mess…

 

[jshepherd]

You did a great job mixing the tiny Tahitian colors. It has a really nice contrast!

 

[jeg]

Thanks Jeremy! What a nice compliment! I don’t have a very big surface to lay the longer strands out, but I tried to capture this strand. It was so fun to play with these little pearls!!

 

[SurfnSci]

Thank you so much for the kind words and wishes, Charlotta, Jeg and Cathykeshi. It was a lovely trip but it's nice to be back - I missed all the pearls I left behind!

@jeg Stunning look today!!! Your family heirloom earrings are so pretty and the setting is very unique. The luster (and white color!) on your PP pendant is fantastic and it looks perfect with the little H bail....The Kojima strands are also pretty, but my heart still belongs to your tiny Collins tahitians

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you @jeg. My amigurumi creations are so fun to make and compared to a sweater or a quilt quite fast to make.

 

[BWeaves]

So good. I love everything.

 

[CortezPearls]

Love ALL THE NEW Pearl Jewelry...and tomorrow we have Father's Day...so I will wish all the Dads in your Lives a Great Day of Love & Celebration!

 

[jeg]

You are welcome, Charlotta! Those characters are just soooo cute! Thank you, SurfnSci, BWeaves and Douglas! I hope you had the best Father’s Day ever, Douglas!

I have eolian pearls to thank for this post. She alerted me to these custom nets that Takahashi is able to create. I have to admit, I haven’t always been enamored with the basket and net looks I have seen, but this design is much more streamlined and unfussy, and having the pendant bail makes it versatile. I had thought about an enhancer bail, but couldn’t decide if the size they could do would be larger than I wanted. I like it best with a 12-13mm pearl, keeping it more dainty. I had completely forgotten about this undrilled Tahitian I had put away in my safe. It was from one of my first Ruckuses and came from Jeremy’s drawer. He pulled it out to see what was so special about this pearl, and when he rolled it around on the table, it was an “Oh yes, it has a purple halo” that you can see surrounding it in all directions. It’s very round and very dark. The earrings are another story… I bought these right off Sarah’s (Kojima) ears. I can only describe them as color shifting Tahitians. They are green, with intense pink and purple overtones and luster that show differently as you move the pearl. And the bracelets I put together with collected pearls. I have had the net for quite a while, but I was hoping eolian would be able to post her’s first. Her long delivery time and busy summer I’m sure has not been conducive, so I am apologetically jumping in.

I was holding the chain up with my hand and inadvertently captured it in the pearls, but it does show the luster.

The little gold bead slides up and down the chain securing the pearl. Tahitian pearl from Jeremy’s drawer, and Myanmar pearl from Druzy.

 

[jshepherd]

I remember that pearl!

 

[CortezPearls]

Wow! Love those chain-pendants! Those pearls are quite a find and they look lovely in that setting.

 

[BWeaves]

OOOO JEG. I love that chain basket. And those Tahitian stud glow. I know what you mean about buying pearls off Sarah (Kojima) body. That's how I got the Everything Bagel rope. I pretty much grabbed it off her neck and said, "Mine!"
