They're lovely. Do you already know what you are going to do with them?I have some new Rikitea pearls coming. I fell in love with the colors and really hope they look close IRL!

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

No, still trying to decide what to do with them or keep collecting for a strand. Thanks!They're lovely. Do you already know what you are going to do with them?
Gorgeous pearls and they fit together so well!So I'm going to dip a toe in. I still haven't mastered selfies after all this time, and I couldn't get the lighting right for separate pictures of the strands, but hey- BABY STEPS. Instead of less is more, I decided that pearls deserve and can handle more is more: Champagne fresh waters with "storm grey" knots via Kojima; "rainbow sherbert" Edisons via PP; pink (and other color) flame balls from Kojima). A lot of people thought it was one necklace. I love when my pearls play nice with each other.View attachment 468388
Thanks so much lary007. Congratulations on your new Pepper rescue! We're looking ... meanwhile getting puppy love this weekend from our grandson's new rescued pupMy condolences on losing your Reffi!
Thank you so much, Lary!!@jeg how cool to see your bracelet in the ad! That's a wonderful thing to have a picture of - I'm a weirdo and keep things like that in my paperwork. Whoever looks through my safe when I'm gone will have fun chucking it all I'm sure
@eolian pearls Yes I do miss Jac. I got a lot of great loose pearls from him. I am glad I got the ones I did from him while I could!
@MSC I'm sorry you missed out on those earrings. They are really pretty. I didn't mention before though, but your scallop pearl ring you posted a few days ago is beautiful!
@pearlgirl12 more is almost always more in the case of pearls! Yours are lovely!
@PearlString888 I have found on more than one occasion that hotel lighting is great to show the colors and luster on pearls! There is one particular hotel in Baton Rouge that I went to several times for work and after that first time I started taking a selection of pearls each time to take pictures of for insurance purposes since the lighting was so good![]()
What beautiful colors!My Rikitea Tahitians from Druzy came in and I am happy with them. They have lovely overtones. I decided to add them to the Rikiteas from both of my bracelets to make a short strand. It gives me a good excuse to collect more for either a longer strand or a new bracelet, lol.
