I've never seen an earring finding like that. Really unusual.
Vintage findings can be really fun!!! I liked the swirl with the diamond a the end...almost like a shooting star around a planet.I've never seen an earring finding like that. Really unusual.
I LOVE how you wear pearls with your T-shirts and jeans. I'll be doing that too, when I retire someday! Hahahaha. I'll be at Costco bargain grocery shopping in my diamond South Sea's!!! No shame in that!. BTW, your long strand of Tahitians are so beautiful with your new pendant. I know you are wearing that new pendant on a long chain so you can look down and see it throughout the day! I always get frustrated with any strand/chain shorter than 19" because it's difficult to see the pearl, except in a mirror! Anyone else have the problem.I love blue and white akoyas together. I love how your two strands nest perfectly as a choker.
Today I'm wearing Tahitians. 10 mm peacock studs from Ocean's Cove. Matinee length ombre' strand from Kojima with mixed sizes and colors. And La Petite Perlagrina from Kamoka. My shirt is perhaps a bit too intense blue, but it's a jeans and T shirt day.

Beautiful work! What kind of wire do you use to make those lovely necklaces? 14K, gold filled or vermeil?Thank you, MOPTrumpet, CatMom and 86C! Lovely Akoya ensemble, MOPTrumpet! BWeaves, the Tahitians are fantastic! Yummy dark colors.
Rare, purple, Japan Kasumi pearl from Kojima, worn in a net from Takahashi. I made the chain with tiny white Akoya keshi from Takahashi. I also put together the freshwater keshi necklace and freshwater drop earrings.

Gold, diamonds and pearls: doesn't get any better than that! I love the bracelet combination! Splashy combination with that brightly colored top! A treat for everyone who sees you today.Tahitians are my favorites BWeaves and yours are gorgeous! jeg, that purple pearl is just stunning. You have the best collection ever!
Today I'm wearing my SS and tourmaline bead necklace with some FWs. I hope someday to upgrade this string to a beautiful akoya strand. I wear this combo with some diamond and drop earrings, yellow gold bracelet and my ruby and pearl ring.
Thank you! I never really appreciated it until recently when I started wearing it again. I always thought the pearl on the chain was kind of weird. I guess old age changes one's perspective, lol.That tourmaline pearl necklace is a really cool design! I really like the bracelet too.
Beautiful piece! Every pearl has it's own story in the strand!I love 20" chains. That's actually what I got on the Komoka site to buy instead of La Petite.
Today, all Kamoka Tahitians. I seem to be in a black pearl mood lately. Carved pendant with tattoo design. The 2019 All Josh Harvest strand. (This strand and my Pearl Paradise natural white Hanadama rope are my most precious pearls.) Since Josh seeded all these pearls himself, I feel the strand is extra special because I've met him. Also, compared to most of Kamoka's harvest strands which have a wide variety of shapes and sizes, all the pearls in this strand are nearly round. I lave how the big white flying saucer on the right balances the big black pearl on the left. My eye is always drawn to those two pearls.
Black and white 9.5 mm studs. These studs go with everything. I love mismatched earrings.

Thank you, yes applique and embroidery. It's a smaller piece, 28 x 28" done in silks and batiks. I love your Tahitians. The colors are gorgeous.CatMom, I love, love, love your fabric work of art. Appliqué and embroidery? Is it a quilt or smaller sample piece? The vibrant color combination is breathtaking!
Geez, I was going to post something different, but how could I not jump on the Tahitian bandwagon?! Wearing Tahitian studs from Takahashi, with two rope lengths of T’s. I’ve had both for a long time. The larger rope is from an Intergem show.
