Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Celonmaril]

Yes, circle pearls. Naturally occurring. A mollusk with a mind of its own… If they don’t have the deep groves but have a colorful band, I call them color-banded. Not that it’s universally recognized…

Jaw-dropping examples as always, jeg. Those colors! I like your distinction between color-banded and circled. Makes perfect sense to me for two different aesthetics.

BW & Jeg have beautiful circlé pearls that are gorgeous examples of how the colors of Tahitians are enhanced & more vivid.

GAH, so gorgeous jeg!!!

Today is a dreary day so I'm wearing my GSS drop on a PP tiny FW strand along with my tiger's eye, FW and puka shell necklace and GSS and baroque silver akoya bracelet.

 

[BWeaves]

I love circled and banded colored pearls. So many different colors in the same pearl. They remind me of little planets.

Fantastic pearls and nails, 86C!

I’m feeling a golden drop of sunshine, CatMom, along with that fun puka shell Aloha vibe. Love it!!!

And thank you, 2thdktr, celonmaril, 86C and CatMom!

So, this was a fun find… I was looking through J. Hunter Fiji Pearls and I found a post from July 2017. A display at the Nadi Airport. This is my bracelet! I looked all over for a bracelet like this while I was in Fiji in August 2017. There were lots of displays, but no bracelets other than the macrame style. I had given up, but I noticed a J. Hunter display while on my way to the restroom before boarding. This was the exact display I saw. I told them to wrap it up and I’d run and get my wallet! My J. Hunter bracelet worn with a couple strands I put together with Fiji pearls from Cees.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Those Fiji's are gorgeous!

 

[BWeaves]

JEG: Love the colors in that bracelet and I love the clasp. I'm picky about bracelet clasps because I have a very hard time closing a bracelet, with one hand, and my non dominant hand at that!

 

[BWeaves]

In the pink today. All Kojima Pearls. Feather earrings with white topaz hooks. The topaz sparkles like diamonds. The earrings photograph like pondslime, but have an amazing purple luster that's hard to catch in photos. 40" long ombre' rope of freshwater keshi. Very lustrous. It's knotted in Pattye's rose color Serefil thread. Spring Petals pendant. It's a weird funky shape with ripples, but the color is incredibly lustrous in person. I find it odd that it's one of the pendants I wear the most, despite it's very un-drop, chunky nugget, shape. It goes well with a variety of my different pearl strands.

Oh gorgeous jeg! I want a mixed color bracelet so badly.

 

[CatMom]

I have some new Rikitea pearls coming. I fell in love with the colors and really hope they look close IRL!

 

[A Breaker]

Oh the colors!!! So gorgeous!!! CatMom Does that pendant bail on the tiny FW rub or is it specially made? I wanted to do that, but want to do it so it doesn't ruin the FW.

Thanks A Breaker! It's just a regular bail. I have put a lot of different drops on the tinies but haven't noticed any wear so far.

 

[A Breaker]

Perfect!!! I wondered what to do with those tinies!

 

[BWeaves]

Wow CatMom. Those colors!!!!! Gorgeous.

A Breaker: I wear pendants with large bails on my smaller akoya pearl necklaces all the time. I've never had a problem. The bail usually ends up sitting between pearls as opposed to rubbing on them. Also, I'm not digging trenches or doing aerobics every day while wearing the same necklace. I'm wearing different ones every day, and sitting in air conditioning, so any rubbing of the bail on the pearls is very minimal.

Sharing a freshwater baroque choker strand I got recently from Japan. I like to bring something pearly with me every time I travel for work as it cheers me up! Taking advantage of the lighting that I wouldn’t be able recreate at home. For once, hotel bathroom lighting is flattering at least for these pearls

Jeg- good thing you had to pee! Except I would have had to buy the golden colored earrings on the right and the matching ring, as well. Gorgeous JHunter bracelet

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much, 86C, BWeaves, CatMom and 2thdktr! Haha, 2thdktr, always a necessity to do a last minute pit stop before boarding… I was thrilled to find the bracelet.

Pretty in pink, BWeaves! I really love those keshi.

Can’t wait to see what you do with those new Rikita’s CatMom!

PearlString888, the choker looks beautiful on you! I can see why it is a cheery traveling piece!

I haven’t had a chance to get a great pic of my newest pearl from the PP live event with Alex Collins. I purchased a small “purple” Tahitian to go with my little collection of loose T’s from Alex. Not sure how I will set them yet, but I don’t think they will all be used together. It’s the smallest one to the left. They’re all looking much darker in the photo…
