Now I'm really kicking myself that I didn't buy that SoC keshi necklace when it popped up on the Kojima website. It was so similar in looks to the ombre' Tahitian necklace I bought from Kojima, that I didn't think I needed two the same. Doh! I love that I get to see it on you, JEG. I'll live vicariously.
Also, it's a good thing I was not able to attend most of the SoC live events, because my wallet thanks me. But in honor of Douglas, I wore my SoC ring today. The SoC pearl that Douglas brought to the last Ruckus for me looks nothing like any of the pearls in the live event. I got a unicorn. It's set in a PP Frost setting in rose gold.
I wore it today with Sharkey pendant and black and white (peacock and lavender) Tahitian pearls from Kamoka. I love that stupid shark pearl, and I don't even like sharks.
And because I'm in a colorful mood. Here's the Eclipse necklace (Edisons from PP) with The Swan (Pacific Pearls) and The Devine Sarah (Kojima). Lately I've been buying pearls that don't even look like pearls. These are just crazy. I went from loving only white pearls to not being able to get them colorful enough.
And the back of The Swan. She's in a pressure setting, so if I ever decide to reset her, the front back and sides of the pearl are all beautiful and undrilled.

Thanks so much, lary007, Douglas, CatMom and BWeaves! I’m happy to have it BWeaves, and will gladly share pics with you anytime!
SOC mabe and gemstone necklace with the Seaglass Tahitian strand. Both from Kojima. The rainbow lipped shell was a ruckus gift from Douglas. (Thank you Douglas! I use it as a jewelry dish)

BWA-HAHAHAHHA! Oh, I'm drooling over your pearls, too, lary007!
JEG: I love that SoC pendant, and that Sea Glass strand is another one that got away because I dithered too long thinking about it. Beautiful.

OK lary007, I'll give you break today. Doing chores in my PJs. Pistachio Tahitian studs from Kojima, and pistachio baroque akoya necklace from PP. I strung them on "mint" thread from Pattye. The pearls were the only pistachios each of the vendors' had.
And now, thanks to Douglas, I will forever pronounce it pis-TACK-kio.
I just noticed my napkins have shells on them.

You're just wrong for this! You know I'd give one of my kidneys for this strand!
....I am always ecstatic to see it though
if I could even find ONE pearl that looks like these I would be a happy camper. A pair of earrings would probably send me over the edge. #foreverjealous

I'm wearing a strand of tiny tahitians from one of the earlier live sales and some tahitian keshi earrings. Also a big white south sea ring. The necklace makes me want a light multicolored strand so bad. It just goes with everything.

Hahaha- pistachios will never be the same for anyone watching the live event. The earrings and strand make a great combo, BWeaves!
Love your combo, too, lary007! I’m a big fan of Tahitian keshi and tiny T’s!!! (and multi-colored strands!!!)
In addition to my vintage Biwa necklace from Fuji, I also received a mix of vintage Akoya, which I wire wrapped into a short tin cup. Short tin cups have been a staple for me this past year.
Wearing them with another tin cup I made with Vietnamese Akoya, and MOP earrings from Hawaii.

Hello ladies! While I was able to log onto the Saturday PP SoC Lives, I was out on Sunday and missed out. It prompted me to dig through my own SoC pieces, so I am doing a little bit of throw-back post here.
I seem to always start my first purchases in each pearl categories with a bang lol. I was lucky enough to adopt from PKinnew one of the earlier SoC mabe strands back in 2016 when she rehomed her collection. This strand was well photographed in one of the earlier ruckuses and you can see one of the pic was by Blaire.
The amazing thing about this strand, aside from the larger and colorful center mabe, the rest of the mabes are pretty well matched across.

And then one of my most prized pieces, custom made by the amazing Sheri of course. OMG just LOOK at this ring!!! The color, my reflection in the pearl, the craftswomanship, and the head of the teensy octo is a SoC keshi of course lol.

I live most of my vicarious pearl life through all of you! BWeaves, you have no idea how close I came to buying the Divine Sarah (
) pendant. I'm glad it found a great home. I love your SoC ring. I chose a mabe that is in the lighter color range. I'd love to make a ring out of (I already have a lot of pendants, but never a pearl ring). If anyone has a good idea or example to share, it would be greatly appreciated. The pearl size is 13x13.8mm.pearlgirl12

Be careful with that stunner. Over the weekend I learned about the perils of driving with distractingly beautiful jewelry worn on the hands or wrists. Thank you, CortezPearls for the valuable lesson.Thank you! It's a wonderful/terrible ring to wear at work. Can't stop looking at it!
Here's another picture from my car where I get some pretty good lighting
This is the best thread ever!!! I learn a ton!!! I was able to finally see some of these amazing types of pearls in real life and because of getting to see the pictures here I had already decided what I liked and did not like. Before I came here, I thought round were only kind to get...even if I find them boring. This forum gave me the confidence to pick what I loved, in budget. I saw lovely Edisons with amazing depth of color, some super intersting singles, I got to see pearls up close way, way over my budget. Then I was able to pick a fablous strand of what I will enjoy wearing...without having to make people social distance from me so I don't ruin my way over budget pearls. And I still get to enjoy seeing all of the glory in this thread!!! Thank you every one that posts here!

Gorgeous mabe' necklace. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy that big mabe' necklace from Kojima back in the day. It was a stunner. Hindsight. I've realized over time that I need to get something when I see it, because pearls are unicorns and I'll never see the same thing again.
