Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

Just finished my stringing session. For now I just strung the FWs with a box clasp I had. I may do something else with them later. Isn't that what's so fun about doing your own stringing, lol? I am wearing them with my Kamoka ring and pendant and tahitian drop earrings and a FW circle bracelet I did last week. I also stung my top drilled rice pearls. I like how they came out.

So stunning Catmom! I love the box clasp! the pearls are really shifty and look different in different lighting... Looks almost like a perfect match to your Kamoka ring!! Love your rice pearl necklace...everything is amazing!!
 
Thanks so much, CatMom! The Intergem show I got those at was years ago when most people were not interested in little baroque Akoya, and they were a bargain. I haven’t been to a show in a while. I’ll be interested to hear what you find. You’ll be looking through new eyes now that you have been beading up a storm! I love all your new projects!

StevieBoy, your colorful freshies look great on you! Don’t work too hard so you can join us now and then.:)

I was able to get a couple earrings from the little h pop up. I have always loved her earlier work with the yellow and pink sapphires and rubies, and I was so happy to be able to get a pair of the earrings. Worn with a necklace I put together.

The earrings look wonderful with your necklace jeg. I'm partial to her pink sapphire ones as well.
 
Can't wait to see what you got! I was so tempted but I had to be good in case I find something at the show next weekend.

Thank you heartofawareness! They are shifty and really colorful in the right light.
 
Gorgeous earrings jeg and they are perfect with your rope and keshi strand. The colors match perfectly!

I attempted my first double strand using FW silvers and whites. They don't line up like I thought they were going to but I don't mind how it turned out. I think I need to drop one silver pearl in each section in the inner strand to get them to line up better. I had some pearls left over so I made a complimentary bracelet.

Thank you, CatMom!

Your double strand turned out great! I like the reverse order on your bracelet and both look so lovely with your top! Just a suggestion instead of removing any pearls from the center, would be to rearrange the pearls on one of the strands so the pattern on both strands are not lined up at the center. Adding a very rough sketch:18: It could still cause some white ones to be close along the sides, but it would change the center where your eyes are drawn.

That makes total sense jeg.
 
I’m sorry, maybe I misunderstood and you meant that the inner strand was too long. If that’s the case, pay no attention to me!

No, you had it right.
 
Thank you @lary007 @CatMom and @heartofawareness ! @heartofawareness that pastel rope is just perfect! Happy that the comparison pictures showed that the rope definitely belongs with you;-) I love how each of your ropes is different all of them stunning! You absolutely have space for those silverish pastels too;-)

I have made a little trip off the ban island recently, when I received the SS circles from Druzy for my Mom’s necklace I fell in love with them and couldn’t resist when the bracelet I have been eying forever went on sale...I was so so excited for it and the moment when I opened the box with pearls...I gasped...they are amazing! in my humble opinion...They even hold up quite well against my Holy Grail gem luster Paspaley drop from Pearlzaustralia. Needless to say my tan loves them too ;-) Happy happy happy...View attachment 465486View attachment 465489View attachment 465488View attachment 465487
Oooooh that looks gorgeous! That is a beautiful pearl 🥰lovely to see it again!,, and the circles are fantastic. I do love circles !
 
I got an email Wednesday evening. I think you can still shop the collection.
Oh no. I didn't get an email. I had checked the little h website yesterday, just for fun, and it's no longer up. Sigh. There were some things I wanted. My wallet thanks me, though.
 
Decisions, decisions. Which Tahitian studs to wear with my Kamoka Time Traveler pendant?

Top two black and white pairs are from Kamoka. The large peacock pair on the right are from Ocean's Cove. The pair on the bottom are from Kojima. The bright yellow green is such an unusual color for Tahitians. They match my eyes.

Which pair would you wear with this pendant?

I decided to match my dress. I went with the bright yellow green ones on the bottom because they matched my dress.

Good choice, BWeaves! You might check your junk mail. My PP emails have been going to junk mail recently. This happened to me a long time ago, and then I stopped getting emails. The pop up was last Wednesday and there is supposed to be another one coming up sometime soon.

A mixed Kojima rope from the first PBTB, and a freshwater necklace from a Hong Kong show. I was able to chose the individual pearls for the necklace, and there’s also a bracelet.

Gorgeous any which way. I like all of them with your dress except the black and white. My first choice is the bright green!

The colors are just fabulous jeg and I love them with your dress!
 
JEG, LOVE your dress. Are the pearls on the dress brooches or embellishment?
