New here so I hope I'm not gatecrashing and am playing by the rules. Thanks for the great forum.

Thanks so much, Jeremy, SurfnSci and BWeaves! You know my pearl choices well, Jeremy! I do love the colorful T’s. Thank you, SurfnSci. The bracelet pearls are from the latest harvest. I have more 5-7mm tinies to play with and I’m thinking next I’ll make a 21’ strand so I can also wrap it 3 times as a bracelet. BWeaves, I recently realized I have a lot of polka dotted clothes!

Welcome Lily Blanche Jewellery! That’s a cool free form pendant!

What a great shot! Hisano loves Alex's tiny Tahitians too.

Ombre' overkill today. Tin-cups and pendant from Kojima. Earrings from Mikimoto. These are so comfortable, especially under headphones when I have to wear them for Zoom meetings that go on for hours.

Hi Lily Blanche:

Pretty pearl. For some reason, it reminds me of a seahorse. I'd like to see it with a more interesting bail. I had a pearl mounted with a single twisted wire once and it broke the first time I wore it. Also, I just think an interesting bail turns a piece of jewelry from "here's a dangle" to "here's a necklace."

Thanks Jeremy! I don‘t often do wrist shots, and I am a big fan of ALL of Hisano’s tiny pearls!!!

BWeaves, I have been casually looking for some huggies, but they are something I need to shop for in person in order to assure the right fit. Love your classic Miki’s!

A scattered custom Tahitian tin cup from PP, with a tahitian pendant from Kamoka. The latest strand I knotted with 6-7mm tinies from Collin’s Pearls. It’s around 21”, and worn wrapped three times around the wrist.

I can't get over the tiny Tahitians! That's one of the rarest Tahitian strands in the world!

I love your Scattered Tin-Cup, JEG. I especially love that the orbit clasps on both ends open, so you can make it a Y necklace or hang a pendant off the end. The tiny Tahitians are gorgeous.

JEG: I particularly like these Miki Huggies because the post goes straight through, and the lever back is solid and thick. You could wear them back to front and not notice a difference. I liked this style so much I bought it in both white gold and yellow gold. Some of the other similar styles that Miki has with diamonds have a thinner curved center post, which I don't like.

PP has a similar style with a completely different sort of finding. I think it's hinged at the top front and them snaps down to the pearl in the back. I'm so tempted, but I'm not sure what sort of pearls I would want with that style, since I already have white pearls.

Ah, the Deco Collection.

Welcome Lily Blanche Jewellery; of course you are WELCOME here ... and that pearl pendant is really unique and lovely!

Jeg ... you are a wizard

BWeaves, I had that ombre rope in my hands more than once during PBTB ... SO glad you get to wear it for your birthday ... what a fabulous Happy Birthday present!!!

 

[theseventhsphinx]

Yes, spellbound is exactly the word! The golden SS strand is singing to me!

@jeg The fancy sage/bronze tahitian strand is like...my new goal in life.

Thank you, Jeremy and BWeaves!!

Bubbles and sister strand made of fancy colored Tahitians from Kojima. I just finished re-knotting the sister strand so I thought I would wear it. Also, two bracelets of J.Hunter Fiji pearls. I bought the J.Hunter toggle bracelet in Fiji, and chose the pearls for the orbit clasp bracelet at PP.

I do have to agree with SurfnSci...GORGEOUS looks!

Natural white Hanadama rope with disco ball clasp from PP (i.e. my best pearls, thanks Jeremy). South Sea and keshi tin-cup from Kojima. Mom's South Sea huggie drop earrings. Mom only wore them for fancy occasions. I wear them with casual clothing.

 

[jshepherd]

Love the combinations! They glow on you!

 

[CathyKeshi]

BWeaves that's a glorious combination; love Mom's earrings

Well, I like the sounds of that! I also am really honored to know Alex personally. It makes the pearls that much more special. Here’s my little grouping of the pieces I was able to put together- three strands and two bracelets. I made a third bracelet out of the teeniest pearls, but it is not in the group photo.
