Hi There - I have been absent for awhile, but I wanted to stop by today because I just received these Japanese Kasumi studs in the mail yesterday. I'm wearing them today along with the Japanese Kasumi pendant that I purchased at Pearls by the Bay in May.

I spent lots of time playing with Sarah's loose Kasumi pearls the day after the gathering, and was able to pair up these pretties. Many thanks to Sarah to her patience in letting me pour over her precious pearls. It is a thrill for me to find and pair my own earrings. By the way, my Hermes scarf today was designed by Japanese artist Akira Yamaguchi.

Thank you for all of the pearly eye candy photos which I find here.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Jeg, I love all of your pieces this week, but your Cortez strands are especially amazing Red, your new Kasumi studs are lovely and look perfect with your pendant!

Hi Red! Good to see you!

SurfnSci: Gorgeous Cook Island pearls.

JEG: Love everything, as always. That SoC keshi tin-cup is the one that got away from me. Hahaha. I dithered too long.

Thank you, SurfnSci and BWeaves!

How great to see you, Red! And those gorgeous Kasumi!

Those Tahitians are so pretty, SurfnSci! I like that delicate pendant setting, too!

Your baby akoya hoops pack so much punch! And they look great with your GSS too - I think they seem like the ultimate versatile hoop!

Thanks so much, Pomelo! I loved them so much I got a pair in rose gold, too! I might think about white gold next…

Tahitian dangly necklace from PP, a dangly Tahitian bracelet I put together, and a dangly ring on leather I found in Fiji.

 

[CortezPearls]

I love your tin cups @jeg

 

[Pella]

Jeg, I love this too. I like the way the pearls dangle from the bracelet. What are the little briolettes used on the PP tincup?

 

[BWeaves]

Ack, what did I do? I bought more pearls last night during PP Hong Kong Live.

I've been wearing lots of pearls but not posting photos. Here's today. The Hamantaschen pendant and Mikimoto white gold huggies.

Lovely beauties!

Hello Everyone! I plugged into the PP HK Facebook Live event last night and OMG did you all see that South Sea Souffle strand? It is WILD! But yah sadly it was $$$$$$. But the lust for that strand is real! I hope there will be opportunity to adopt a few loose ones in the future. And Badell (spelling?) if you are on this forum, PLEASE share IRL pics of your souffle bracelet strand when you get it.

This reminded me to bust out some pics of my Tahitian Souffle strand. Most souffles on the market are fresh water. Hisano said this SS Souffle is a new experiment. Similarly the Tahitian Souffle was a one time experiment and I think Jeremy pretty much scooped up all of them and never to be seen again. So glad I snagged a strand back then! This is an older pic, can't remember if I've posted it before, hopefully not! I restrung the souffle strand using fun pink thread with baby keshi as spacers in between. Stringing souffle isn't fun, I wouldn't recommend it.

Keshi strands from Kojima, T Souffle from PP, Mangareva/Rikitea baby Ts from Jac way back in the days. I added flower stations to the strand for texture, color contrast, and fun.

Your Tahitian Souffle is out of the world!

Purr: Good to see you and your soufflés again. Gorgeous!

It's hot today. Linen and lightweight pearls. My 25th anniversary reborn pearls (earrings and choker). Large feather pendant from Kojima.

All are gorgeous! The luster on the souflées and the baby T's is terrific. Love the flower stations.

Thank you, Douglas and Pella! Pella, if I remember correctly I think the dangles are topaz.

Beautiful pearls as always, BWeaves! And can’t wait to see what pearls you chose. I was able to catch yesterday’s event LIVE, but everyone was claiming so fast! I put my name on the waitlist and actually will get the pair of earrings I wanted. Yay!

How fun to see you, Purr! Haha- same thing- the HK event had me digging into my collection. I didn’t get any of those cool Tahitian soufflés back when, but I pulled out my tri-colored ombres for lunch today.

SS and Tahitian ombres. The two shorter necklaces are from Kojima, and the rope is from Cees.

 

[Purranha]

Jeg I LUV your ombres!!!!!!!! That drop pearl in the Komija ombre really makes the set!!!

 

[Pomelo]

Wearing my new lustrous drop-shaped 7-8mm akoya from Flower Jem with my keshi T studs.

I caught my reflection in a public toilet mirror today (sorry TMI) and was amazed by the luster on the akoya! It’s hard to capture how beautiful they are.

The strand is knotted with navy thread and I really like the more informal vibe.
