Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[CatMom]

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.View attachment 468549 View attachment 468547View attachment 468548

Beautiful strand lary! I really starting to love the lighter strands as well.

 

[CatMom]

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.

OMG those mabes are just ridiculous!

 

[Purranha]

@BWeaves yes I remember the large Mabe strand from Kojima. They also had a National Select full pearl strand back in the days too. Le Sigh.
I still have a number of loose mabes that I've purchased from Papa Doug over the various ruckus (hahah omg even arm twisted Sheri/Nora to grab me some when I couldn't attend one of the earlier ruckus) and will need to start noodling on how to set them!

The pearls in the baroque strand seem huge for Akoyas. I didn't know they could get that large. The whole ensemble is lovly.

I have some blue baroque akoyas that are 10 mm (and probably a bit larger because that's the smallest dimension). But that's as big as they come. JEG's are gorgeous, of course.

Congratulations on the new pearl baby, BWeaves! I hope she grows up loving pearls because I see a lot of them in her future.

Thank you, pearlgirl12! The pearls are 10.5+ mm. It was the only strand they could put together at the time. I don’t have calipers or I would measure the center pearls but, yes, they are unusually large for Akoya. It is a softly colored multi-colored strand.

So nice to catch up on everyone's absolutely gorgeous pearls, wow!!! At a work conference so I have only been able to catch snippets of the PP SOC livestream, but I am so hoping to see some of the beauties purchased yesterday on this thread in the future! Jeg, your strand is magnificent!

Cortez strand I've been piecing together for several years...still a work in progress!

Very nice! Love your Cortez beauties!

 

[CortezPearls]

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

Don't Pearl & Drive!

 

[CortezPearls]

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.

Always thinking about safety!

Such soft pastel colors!

 

[BWeaves]

Gorgeous pearls, JEG, as always. And love the way you style them. I love seeing your outfits, too.

Today, I'm in a purple sweatshirt. I can't compete. But pearls!!!! All Kojima. The Devine Sarah pendant on my little h chain. Long ombre' keshi freshwater rope knotted on Rose colored thread from Pattye. Mom's diamond hoops with Winter Snowman and Summer Rain pendants hanging off them. They seem to be a good blend with The Devine Sarah and the ombre' rope. And I love asymmetry in earrings.

These 3 drops are simply LOVELY! The pendant has an amazing pearl!
Lovely colors in the necklaces too!

I did a comparison pic since I don’t have calipers. The baroque Akoya strand is 10.5+ mm, so the center-most pearls would be +. My Traveling Pearl is 12mm.

 

[BWeaves]

JEG: The luster on those baroque akoyas. Wow.

Through the magic of Pearl Paradise photography, since I'm hopeless with pearls and a camera ... here's a look at my weekend very baroque, imperfectly PERFECT little SOC treasures. They were destined for a simple stock setting, and my jewelers epoxy till I asked one more question, and saw them together ... now they are going to a goldsmith for a bit of ocean-y custom setting work to become a pendant and earrings set. The weekend was such a JOY
