Finally getting to really catch up - so many beautiful pearls!!! And one adorable pearl-picturesque pup, too

@jeg Love your Collins strand always! And that fabulous Kamoka strand! Lovely freshadama strand, too. And the anklet! I am totally inspired to make an anklet now!!!

 

[jeg]

Thanks SurfnSci! Do share your anklet if you make one! This one was one of my pandemic lockdown projects, and then I started making a bazillion earrings. I want to make a tiny tin cup anklet either with keshi or tiny Akoya. I haven’t decided yet…

Metallic freshwater strand from Kojima/Pacific Pearls, with earrings and keshi chain I made. Ugh, horrible lighting for pics.

Well, after mentioning I wanted to make more anklets, I started thinking that my shortest necklace lengths should work if I wrapped them as anklets. The short lengths seem to work perfectly because I don’t like them hanging too low and getting into the shoes.

Keshi strand and harvest rope from Collins Pearls, and a large round Tahitian pendant from Kojima worn on a keshi chain I made.

Well done on the keishi. It's quite hard to do random!

Thanks so much, pearlescence! I love wirewrapping and I love asymmetry.

They are dark but lustrous. Still wondering if they are SSP or FWP, though my seller says they are South Sea.

That is a big, dark strand! The pearls are dyed Chinese freshwater though, not South Sea.

Confirm Jeremy's identification. Freshwater. NOT South Sea.

Hopefully your seller did not charge you SS prices, Carleez. I hope you enjoy wearing your new pearls, they look very nice on you!

Dear pearl friends! Sooo much has happened here since my last visit! So many gorgeous gorgeous pearls and pairings! Too many to comment on individually let me just quickly say this:

@86Corvettegirl Your new Fiji strand is TDF!!!! Absolute gorgeousness!!!! I am also a big fan of the Duchess’s necklace but yours is definitely my new favorite! You must be totally overjoyed!!! Stunning!

@SurfnSci I love love LOVE your Kasumi tincups and all your tincups and creations! So so pretty and wearable!

@jeg Every picture you publish would merit a separate glowing paragraph but let me just say “the scattered keshi chain????” Perfection! I love how versatile you make it, it is so cute and flirty and fun! And all your pearls are amazing as always of course! Those Collins keshis? Sigh....

I have had some time to play with my strands lately and I made some pearly exchanges between them, to add a few tahitian goldens to the Bliss strand as it seemed it missed a bit of that color punch in its palette... So the Love strand is shorter now ( 20 inches instead of 22), the Smallish T strand is missing the golden color but looks more balanced to me this way and well the Bliss is pretty blissful in its latest reincarnation...Unfortunately as I was knotting and changing it thrice in three days my last knotting as an endless strand was not too perfect but this is it (for 2022 anyway

Happy weekend, everyone!

@jeg The anklets looks terrific; I was hoping one of my necklaces would work doubled as you suggested, but no length luck - glad to have an excuse to buy a few more pearls for that project though, haha. Your mixed keshi necklace and ombre SS strand were particular "standouts" this week from your amazing collection. Always love that Takahashi basket pendant, too!

@eolian pearls So lovely to see you and your gorgeous pearls again! The Love strand and the Bliss strand look fantastic - that ombre is just magical.

@Carleez That is a very pretty strand on you!

Eolian, I’m so happy to see you back, and all your remakes are so fantastic! I just love colorful Tahitians. Ahhh, same to you, SurfnSci. That Kamoka strand is so gorgeous, as well as the Robert Wan keshi.

Thanks so much for all the compliments. I went back in my photos to find some pics of the keshi chains. Back in 2017, I made at least a dozen of these wire wrapped keshi chains. Some scattered, some evenly patterned, with every type of keshi I could find. Lots of Tahitian chains in different lengths, and some freshwater, Myanmar golden SS, and Biwa. I also forgot that I used to wear some of them doubled. Haven’t done that in a long time. Posting some old pics-

 

[jshepherd]

I love the tiny Tahitian kesh! I bet you chose every one of those yourself

 

[jeg]

Ha, ha- thanks Jeremy! I do enjoy selecting and arranging pearls!

Wild and crazy Fiji pearls from Cees, with a keshi strand and earrings I put together.

I love everything.
