After pretty much exhausting the pearl-pendant choker for men, I was wondering what I could get next...

Sarah at Kojima Pearls had a great idea. She made up this Tahitian keishi necklace that is just the right size for me. I'm really thrilled with it. I wish, though, that my photography could catch the orient on these. They are quite metallic with stunning orient.

Thanks, Sarah!

Very nice! Kind of a classy, updated puka shell look.

Yes, very hot. My husband won't even wear one on a leather cord.
Go John go!

John,
The choker looks fabulous on you ! Wow, well done you and Sarah.
And re. the grey beard - well, you'll just have to have a silver-grey keishi choker to match......

I would -so- wear something like that! Except perhaps more gray...? It looks awesome on you though!

John, is this better than bar-hopping or what! Ten women tell you it's hot and you didn't even have to put down the remote!

Yeah, I was trying to not add to the list, but yes, it's pretty hot.. Most men I know would kill to have this sort of feedback!

I also think this is a great example of how things look so different ON. The first two pics, I was thinking, "eh... that's a nice piece, but still... on a guy... I wonder..." Then the pic with you wearing it makes ALL the difference. I agree - it looks fabulous. Very nice taste.
