Gorgeous nail color and the pearls aren't too shabby either! You look lovely.

Wow, so many pretty things to catch up on!!

Tiger, terrific Tahitians! Ugh, I sure hope they are able to resolve your AC issue soon!

BWeaves, those blues look great together! I have a short strand from PP that is similar to that, I think. Your earrings pair so nicely with them.

Ooo, CatMom, your green day is gorgeous!

Pearls&Pugs, what a fun combination you put together! I hope the weather held up for your BBQ.

Pomelo, nails to match your pearls? Perfect combo!

Beautiful way to start the new week!
But also a HOT week ahead! We're already at 42 Celsius (108 F) and will be at 48 (118 F) on Wednesday! So I am really hoping the AC does not break down!
Will "keep my cool" by enjoying your gorgeous beauties!

Always beautiful. Is that large center drop also a keshi?

Always welcome up our way. High 70 and partly sunny in Seattle today, with a fresh breeze. Don't have A/C.

Wonderful summery look BWeaves!

 

[BWeaves]

No, the center drop is a regular cultured pearl with amazing ombre' color. The rest of the pearls in the necklace are keshi.

Kasumi pearl and amethyst earrings from Kojima. Chinese ripples from Pacific Pearls. Believe it or not, these are even more colorful in person than they look in the photos.

I LOVE KASUMIS...my favorite FWP!

I am wearing the veggie tin cup, tahitian drop pendant, and tahitian threader earrings today but my picture kinda cropped them out.

Apparently the veggies catch the eye of men because my husband, the spine doctor I saw this morning, and one of my male co-workers ALL not only noticed this necklace but told me how much they liked it. I've been married for 11 years to the husband and worked with that co-worker for 5.5 years and neither have ever mentioned anything about my jewelry. The doctor even mentioned reproducing it and selling on etsy.

My female co-workers also like it, but they frequently comment on my jewelry so I didn't find that as interesting

 

[BWeaves]

lary007: Your veggie tin-cup is very eye catching, and adorable. I keep wanting the yell, "But the pearls!!!!"

Douglas: When I first saw rippled pearls, I wasn't impressed. Then I saw a few more, and the color and luster and thick luster totally won me over.

Love it! You can call it the Pearl Harvest Collection

Same thing with me!
The I purchased a few from Sarah (for my personal collection) and they "spoke to me", I heard a tale emanating from them (also counts that I met Kiyoshi at about the same time) and I SAW...maybe it was metaphysical, maybe just the effect of that intensely metallic and colorful nacre...but then I was in love with them.

Thanks. Never to assume, we ran across this tissue-nucleated Keshi from Indonesia in 2010 (shown on Hisano's desk at Ruckus that year, ready for enhancer). 17.5mm X 14mm X 11mm, 18 carats. Side forward is with dimples, back side is smooth and equally lustrous. Might want to make it two-sided some day. Very nice pearl that I'd appreciate Almudena wearing more frequently!

I watched with the idea of getting something basic for our first Kasumis in advance of Pearls by the Bay (my interest in pearls originates with naturals) and was fortunate to get the K2 pair below, for dangle earrings.

We were allowed to keep just one of the pearls. Received today, set as a simple enhancer. Had to wait for the sun to go down, iPhone 15 is notorious for lens flare!

I remember that gorgeous GSS pendant, Steve! Your new Kasumi is wonderful too!

I guess I'm a little confused-- I thought that Keshi were non- nucleated; accidental pearls as a byproduct of the culturing process. For that pearl to be tissue nucleated, it means it was deliberately cultured?
