Thanks Hanaleimom! Silly me! I was looking under the new items page of all places. I am glad to see that there are some left. Now I just have to figure out how to explain to the wife why I bought her another set of pearls. Maybe that won't be too hard.

You could of course wear a brown shirt and sport them yourself. Especially if you got the lavendar. Lavendar and brown just pops!
Tell her you wanted to match but in a manly way. I think you could get away with the biwa's.

OK, here they are! This is my first attempt at doing neck shots by myself...

Taken in natural light and minor levels adjustments in Photoshop. The one earring you see is 1/2 of my pair of Kamoka keshi stud earrings from Kojima Pearl. The tiny pearls are ones I've had since I was 16.

Heidi,

Those look absolutely STUNNING on you!!! I would never have thought of combining a solo lavender strand with two white strands. Really lovely.

Also, nice job with the autofocus!

Are you planning on restringing them to make a triplet? Or are you going to keep them "a la carte"?

Thanks for the compliments!

I am going to keep them as-is. I see the lavender strand being very "every day" wearable when I want just a little extra without the eye-catching character of the white pearls.

W don't often see little pearls, but those are incredible. Soft and dainty.

Look at those babies shine! Beautiful! I'd wear all three everyday. Are the Biwas individually knotted? Thanks!
