Ohhhh, gorgeous pendant.

What kind of thread are you using?

Oh damn. I posted the same thing. Those SS pearls are HUGE and glowy.

Helen Mirren attended the New York premiere of A Talent for Murder on Wednesday evening wearing Australian South Sea pearls from Margot McKinney.

JEG: That keshi and briolette necklace is gorgeous. I regret not buying one during the PP Live event they did. Love your mix and match dangles, too. I'm easing back into getting dressed up. Akoya pearls. But faux pearl sheep. Opal and akoya ring from OceanRhyme. Vintage akoya ring and...

I use Sky a lot for my blue baroque akoyas. But I love the Teal with the Tahitians. Sarah at Kojima has been knotting Tahitians with Lime Green lately. I didn't like it in the online photos because it looked like it was a bit much, but I've seen the necklaces in real life, and the Lime Green...
