[CathyKeshi]

Ooh, Jeg, that lanai balcony view ... WOW, not sure I could ever leave that balcony. The luster on those new studs is beyond belief, and the little smiling shell boxes just take the cake!

Lovely combination of leather and Ts echo! Are these from KeshiCo as well? I cant wait to receive my pieces from Molly, the package is already really close to me, fingers crossed for next week delivery!

jeg your studs are the most lustruous pearls ever!!! The are absolutely breathtaking, I love love love the play of pinks and blues on them! Cant get any lovelier than this!

I was playing mix and match today, and managed to tick off akoyas, FW, Tahitian and SS pearls all in one go The akoyas are from Takahashi and the earrings were made by lovely Margaret of Simply Adorned.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

So beautiful eolian pearls

 

[echo]

Thank you Douglas and Charlotta!

jeg thank you! The design is from Molly of Keshico. I can only take credit of buying and wearing them lol

eolian pearls love your all kinds of pearl set. Are the bigger pearls in the earrings blue akoya? And the centre pearl in the necklace SS? Yes the leather and pearl ones are from keshico. Look forward to seeing your ones in action

 

[SurfnSci]

Happy weekend, everyone!

echo Love, love, love your tahitian strand leather necklace- It looks fantastic on you and is a really cool design!!! And the gorgeous leather and paperclip T bracelets! Hmm, now I definitely need to add a leather T necklace to my wishlist.

jeg What a pretty view from your lanai! Love the mixed Kojima strand and wowza, those Takahashi studs are incredible in any light.

eolian pearls That is a gorgeous look! I especially love your necklace design. It all looks so pretty and delicate.

Thank you, Cathy, Charlotta, eolian, and SurfnSci! I am so in love with the Akoya studs. Also so happy to be able to go back and forth to Hawaii. I’m not planning to leave the country any time soon as I still worry about staying safe, so Hawaii makes for a great destination for me.

Echo, you can still take credit for excellent taste and knowing your style! Eolian, those purply/periwinkle colors are so pretty! The colors are so uplifting. SurfnSci, did you do a custom design with your SOC mabe? I don’t remember seeing that one. I really love it!

Wearing my Tahitian studs from Takahashi, a macrame keshi bracelet from Kamoka, and a reimagined Tahitian necklace.

 

[eolian pearls]

Thank you all!

echo Yes, the silver blue akoyas are on the earrings and the SS pearls are the keshis there. The necklace pearl is actually a white tahitian. I know! A tahitian doesnt come to mind when you first see the pearl, a tricky tricky pearl

SurfnSci WOW! What a wonderfully simple yet absolutely stunning design!!! Love love love it! Please do tell us more!

jeg I love labradorites and pearls combination and reimagined necklaces and macrames and yours are so so pretty! And those Takahashi Ts... Like staring into the heart of ocean...Beautiful!

 

[Charlotta2.0]

What a beautiful cortez mabe SurfnSci. It's perfect for your skintone and haircolor
Beautiful tahitians jeg, especially that bracelet. Makes me want to try macrame. Maybe after I master the amigurumi crochet I give it a go.

 

[echo]

SurfnSci I don’t think you will regret a leather T necklace. It’s extremely versatile that you can wear with anything even gym clothes . Your SoC is gorgeous! I love how you integrated it into the necklace.

jeg you are so kind . Your choice of pearls for the outfit is spot on as always.

eolian pearls a tricky pearl indeed! But absolutely beautiful. And how interesting that the SS keshis are almost a perfect colour match to the akoyas.

Thank you, eolian, Charlotta and echo! Right back at you, echo!!! Eolian, thank you, I couldn’t believe when I got the Tahitian studs from Takahashi. They are really incredible, and I’ve seen a lot of Tahitians. Charlotta, the Kamoka bracelet is very retro and beachy and so easy to wear. I plan to get a lot of wear out of it once summer rolls around.

Long Kojima pearl medley strand doubled, with earrings I made.

 

[CortezPearls]

Love the Kojima medley strand and goes perfect with those earrings you made!

Thank you to infinity.

 

[SurfnSci]

Wow, thank you so much Jeg, Eolian, Charlotta and Echo! And I agree with Lisa C, a million thank yous to everyone who makes this forum possible!!!

jeg Your Takahashi tahitian studs are as lovely as your akoya studs I love the reimagined T necklace and now I'm on Kamoka's site looking at their macrame keshi bracelets and pondering a purchase, haha...Gosh, another gorgeous harvest stand from Kojima, too! It looks lovely paired with the matching earrings you made.

The Druzy SoC mabe was intended to be my first attempt at wire-wrapping a pendant, but after much frustration and woeful results, haha, I gave up and glued a thick chain ring to the back of it, then attached it to the stone's bezel ring. The necklace had been collecting dust in my jewelry box after I had repurposed the original charm a few years ago.

I am determined to make this paperclip chain layering thing work! I think today is the closest I've gotten, but definitely still working on it (and am very grateful for the PP instagram video recently posted). Mini buttery light GSS from JNBgems and chain from PaveFindings4U on Etsy.

 

[echo]

jeg love your kojima strand doubled look. And your outfit. All look so effortless and elegant together!

SurfnSci the paperclip chain and GSS layered look is very nice on you. The chain is subtle and goes well with the mini strand

Wearing a blue t shirt with a short medley strand from katbran and light blue T studs from kamoka. I thought about getting the strand lengthened. But the short length is so practical because it doesn’t get in the way of crossbody bag straps. So I decided to keep its length for now.

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Pretty medley [USER][/USER]g
I think that your golden south sea strand looks lovely with the paperclip chain SurfnSci. You can always ass a pendant if you want
echo That's an amazing strand from Katbran. Very pretty and it looks great on you

 

[CortezPearls]

It's a very nice mixed strand echo and the length is indeed perfect for everyday wear, makes it practical to wear. I rarely wear jewelry (just a pendant and my wedding ring) but I love it and love seeing jewelry worn. When I would wear pearl necklaces, I would prefer the shorter ones (for my neck, that means 17-18") since they just felt right: not too tight and never too loose. For me jewelry has to be practical, would have never wanted a piece of jewelry that could become snagged on a farming cage or that it would be cumbersome when operating oysters (rings).

 

[eolian pearls]

Pretty pretty pretty pearls jeg, SurfnSci and echo!!! And yes a big THANK YOU for all who make this forum possible and such a bright and loving space!

jeg As always I admire your creations as much as your “ready” pieces! Those earrings are darlings and the medley is delicious!

SurfnSci Wow, glueing the chain ring to the back of the mabe havent even entered my mind! What a clever solution and let me repeat that SoC necklace is absolutely dreamy! You are definitely getting there with the layering! What a lovely GSSP necklace!

echo Everything about your mixed necklace is perfect! The colors, the shapes, the length! Very special necklace and it looks fantastic on you!

I have been going over my pearls, and discovered that I rarely wear this keshi T necklace. I definitely wore the keshis more often without the added T pearl and I almost almost took the necklace apart but then I decidedto add a little chain and use it as a bracelet. I think it will get back to regular use now ;-)

I did repurpose my beloved bubble bracelet though... I feel like the Bliss strand needs to be endless for me to be able to play with the pearls so bye bye bubble for now...Almost there with the Bliss, still waiting for the latest package...Sometime this week..
