Visiting Dad today. Ombre' pearls. All from Kojima Pearl. Long ombre' tin-cup of white and gold South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls, and pink freshwater pearls. Long ombre ropoe of freshwater keshi going from white around my neck down to pink at the bottom. Freshwater pendants worn on my own...

I didn't realized these were ancient beads. My eyes skipped that sentence and went straight to the photos. Now I love the necklace even more!

I thought they looked like imitation pearls before I read Pattye's comments. Before cultured pearls came on the scene, and even afterwards, many women proudly wore imitation pearls. I have a necklace of faux pearls from my grandmother from the 1920s-40s era. Queen Alexandra in the late...

They look like dyed freshwater pearls to me too.

I like it! But I like gemstones and pearls strung together. It's a great jeans and a T shirt necklace.

Blues and pistachios today. I love how these two necklaces nest together. The colors don't match, but the luster is off the charts. They look like soap bubbles. 10mm blue baroque akoya necklace and 5 mm pistachio baroque akoya necklace from Pearl Paradise. Blue baroque akoya ring from Takahashi...

What a gorgeous cluster of grapes. I'm imagining a leafy setting.

Oh, yes! Sam would love to meet Octavia! It's a good thing I didn't name him Clamydia. It briefly crossed my mind. But he's definitely a Sam.

Merrily: Dex is such a great model! My favorite jeans and a T shirt pearls. Circled Tahitian pearls from Kamoka Pearl. Mismatched white and golden South Sea and Tahitian drop earrings from OceanRhyme.

Hahahaha. Sam the Clam will become the Don Rickles of the mollusk community!

Sam the Clam. The Giant Clam! I couldn't resist him. Folkmanis puppets just retired him, so I got an order in before they ran out.

JEG: Oh, that sounds like fun! Syrie: Wowza. Those are gorgeous. The necklace is great, but your earrings are phenomenal! I love gemstones with pearls. And now for something completely different. Bead store, side drilled, dyed, freshwater pearls in the necklace, with a couple of stick...

Thanks for posting this. I missed it because I was visiting my Dad.

Lovely collection! I'm a sucker for blues and I don't care if the color is natural if I like it and it's permanent.

I still keep in touch with everyone from the trip. It was a real bonding experience.
