Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[CatMom]

Thanks so much, CatMom! I’ve been wanting to ask you how you’ve been doing with your wire-wrapping?

Some sentimental pearls… The Akoya pearl in the ring was a gift my grandma gave to me from a trip to Japan. I was in elementary school and this was my first pearl. The pearl came in a purple velvet hinged box. The inside of the box was also purple velvet and the pearl sat in the center on a purple velvet pedestal. My mom had it set for me some years later. The Akoya earrings were a gift from my parents when they returned from a trip to Japan. I’ve also been wearing some sentimental rings in addition to the pearl rings but haven’t mentioned them. Next to the Akoya ring is an opal ring that my other grandmother wore everyday until the day she passed. All worn with a necklace and bracelet from Takahashi. Unfortunately the weather is so dreary for pics...

Absolutely gorgeous jeg! Thanks for asking but I haven't really done anything for a while. I'm still recovering from a bad bout of Covid back in August. I'm just now getting some strength and stamina back. I really want to try a tin cup sometime.

Thanks so much, Katbran and CatMom! CatMom, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been under the weather. That’s a long time to not be feeling well. I’m looking forward to seeing your future projects when you’re up to it!

Bracelet of J.Hunter Fiji pearls from PP. Tahitian necklace also from PP. Earrings are little h, and the Tahitian ring is from Hawaii.

Wonderful! You really know how to capture pearl jewelry. You could become a specialized pearl photographer if you ever wanted to!
The Tahitian ensemble is fantastic!

I wish you get better soon!
I also contracted COVID this year...I have a nasty little cough that just won't go away. But it is getting better and better with time.

Thanks so much, Jeremy! All three pieces are from different visits to the vault. The round Tahitian necklace was with your help on my very first visit all those years ago.

Aww, thank you, Douglas! That is one generous compliment! I doubt anyone would hire me to take pics with my iphone.

Love the Chihuly glass ceiling @jeg and your bunny fits right in!

A little fun weekend project posting here! Back at the 2018 PP Ruckus, Hisano was gracious enough to let us dig through her little h soufflé stash. I got the 2 circled soufflé and Lema got the other one. Seeing our 3 soufflés colors matched well together, she graciously gifted me her pearl so I can make a suite. Hisano noted that Lema’s pearl plus one of mine fit together like a jigsaw puzzle! Voila, introducing the Jigsaw Hugging Siblings Soufflé Earrings!!! Lol, yes, a mouthful. But I love it! I am in the process of finding out if I can have a ring made with the same findings/design.

I have a few other soufflé earrings, and since I liked the flower findings so much, I converted the pair on the right to go with the gold version of the flowers. Super happy with how they turned out!

OOOO, Purrrrrr. Nice!

Today it's Pomme de la Mer pendant from the first PP Hong Kong Live, and Mikimoto earrings. All 18K yellow gold.

At my first Pearl Guide Ruckus in 2015 I was privileged to sort through Jeremy Shepherd's private stash of natural colored chocolate brown Tahitians. I was able to assemble a pair of dark brown studs. More recently I purchased a natural colored chocolate strand of Tahitian pearls.

I'm wearing them today with my Hermès scarf and OSKA top.

Red. Good to see you again! Those are so pretty.

I've been wearing a lot of white linen and white pearls the last few days.

Visiting Dad yesterday, and I layered on the pearls. Long mixed tin-cup from Kojima (SS and freshies and keshi). My natural white Hanadama rope from PP. My first rope of akoyas. Large feather pendant from Kojima. Mikimoto earrings. Coin pearl ring from Kojima. Mom's akoya ring.

Today, the same feather pendant worn with Coin pearls from Karen Brown Jewelry. Hanadama 9 mm studs from PP.
