Exactly what was happening to me, remember? It's all part of the upgrade, but it has been worth itI also have insufficient permissions to post there
I am not sure why this is. Digging into it now.
Great ropes jeg and lovely station necklace. Perfect for summer wearing.I’m in good company!

Thanks lary007. I'm naturally very pale so those colors seem to work well for me. Ugh I'm so sick that I missed it. I totally forgot about it and wasn't paying attention that it was on. I only saw one item and it may have been the one you bought. If it was it was gorgeous! I can't wait to see what everyone else bought.@CatMom I wish I could pull off lavenders and coppers! My skin tone is just not right. Your pearls are beautiful and look great on you.
Were you able to catch Hisano's pop-up?
Wow @eolian pearls just look at those pearls come alive when they are next to your skin...gorgeous! Love blue akoyas! Thank you also for your kind comment...much appreciated!Oh my heart!!!! @heartofawareness!!!!! You are getting the most amazing new pieces!!!! The Collins harvest strand!!! Pure gorgeousnes! And ALL the Kamoka pieces!!! The colors!!! The luster!!! All looks STUNNING on you!
OMG @jeg!!! Those akoyas are killing me!!!! So so beautiful and your layering is chef’s kiss
@CatMom You are on a roll! Beutiful new creations, it is so fun to create your own pieces, right? Your friends&family will appreciate this new skill as well ;-)
@lary007 I forgot to mention your silver Ts from PP last time! The older strand is one of my all time silver favorites I have it saved on my pearl vision board, happy to see it again! And it looks great with your new silvers too! Beautiful beautiful beautifu!!!
@BWeaves The feather pearls! or the angle wings! They are fantastic, the nature is incredible, they look amazing on you!
I took out my silver blue akoyas from Takahashi yesterday and tried to pair them with this colorful silverish drop from CMW pearls. Really like them together! Ahem..I might have bought this silk shirt already thinking about this pearl combination....View attachment 465422View attachment 465420
What a lovely combination @jeg! I'm happy you got something from the Little H popup. I was out of commission with company but I'll live vicariously through everyone's luscious pictures of their purchases!!Thank you, lary007 and CatMom! Lary007, I’m excited to see your new Takahashi, inspired projects, and little h!!! Oh boy- can’t wait! Mr. Seki looked for a pair of baroques for me a few days ago. I wanted a baroque pair of Akoya for everyday wear and travel to alternate with a few of my Tahitian studs I wear all the time. Douglas and lary007- I’m so excited- I watched Hisano’s Pop Up and I have some earrings coming with a little help from a personal shopper! (thank you, dear CathyKeshi)

Absolutely stunning Bweaves! I love blue akoyas and these are superb!! They have beautiful overtones...very lovely!I'm missing my ropes. Lot's of baroque blue akoyas today. Opera length rope of small pearls from Hisano at PP. POJ 20" length necklace linked to a PP baroque Vietnamese akoya 17" choker. The Vietnamese akoyas are really intense in color, but the nuclei are loose, so I hope I never have to restring these ever again. I strung them all on sky blue Beaders Secret from Pattye. Kojima summer rain pendant. Kojima dyed freshwater earrings attached to white topaz hoops. These are one of the few pairs of drop earrings that actually came this way. The white topaz sparkles like diamonds. I can see why topaz was used as a diamond substitute back in the old days.

Thank you Eolean! Love your keshi strand and that drop is gorgeous! You always wear all of your pearls so well..they also POP with your tan and gives it that beach vibe!Thank you @jeg, @lary007, @CatMom and @heartofawareness for your kind comments! I do love those blue Takahashis and funny that you mention the T drop drilling jeg, I initially bought the two drops from CMW for another project - they were supposed to go on a leather cord but didn’t look as I immagined so at the end I put them on chain and they are great layering pieces now.
@lary007 Oh I am very happy to have made you happy with my comment! I have great appreciation for beautiful pearls on this site and am thankful for everyone that posts. I am especially excited to see some of my favorite pieces again living their best life ;-) I am also very excited for any new pearl projects and yay for you taking the plunge with Takahashi! You will be overjoyed I am sure! And they are so nice to work with! I can’t wait to see what you got!
@heartofawareness Well...your new pastel rope...I was immediately reminded of Tilda Swinton’s T rope in “i am love”... enough said ;-) not enough...it looks AMAZING and I love the size on these...No way to return these! That is not a pearl addict speaking but objective reasoning ;-)
@BWeaves Lovely lovely blues
@jeg Spice Kojima necklace and your shell earrings together! Perfection!
Today I took out my akoya keshis again with the Tdrop from CMW.View attachment 465448View attachment 465447
