Loving all the pearls- SurfnSci, BWeaves, Syrie, Merrily, everyone! I am behind on this thread… Just starting to unpack from my Tucson trip. I brought several goodies home with me and will slowly get to the pics. First, is a new strand of Japan Kasumi pearls from Kojima. Worn with Kasumi studs...

I’ve been hanging out in the Pacific Pearls/Kojima Booth in Tucson all week! So fun to play with all the loose pearls and strands from Pacific Pearls and some fun new pendants from Kojima Pearls.

Two strands of fancy colored T’s from Kojima, with pistachio T dangles I wrapped.

Thanks so much SurfnSci and CatMom!! SurfnSci, you’ve done such a great job with your ombré. It’s hard to do without a big selection of pearls. I love that set, BWeaves. The little seed pearl combination with those sapphires are so pretty together. Rikitea Tahitian strand from Cees, a...

What fun! I love a tea party! And pearly show and tell would just be over the top. Love the kitty models, too. I wish I could get pics of my dog, but she’s a moving target.

Thanks so much, Pella, MrGray and BWeaves! I was lucky enough to catch the Hula Dog two days in a row on this trip! Its name is Paki and the new friend is Lacy. I forgot, I did bring one more thing with me. A necklace I wire-wrapped with Akoya from an old, inexpensive strand of baroques I...

Thanks Pattye!! :giggle: The only other pearls I brought with me besides a bunch of studs and the Traveling Pearl- Tahitian rope length and bracelet.

Enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. Wearing a choker I wire-wrapped with J. Hunter Fiji pearls from my last visit to the PP vault, and blue baroque studs from Takahashi. Aloha!

Happy New Year to you, too, SurfnSci! I love your Biwa strand! Tahitian stud earrings from Takahashi, inner Tahitian strand from Kamoka, outer Tahitian strand from Maui Divers, Hawaii.

Thank you, I take that as a compliment, KarinK!:giggle: Good luck pursuing your pearl interests, Designandalchemy!

Thank you, CatMom and BWeaves! I think ALL the colors work together, BWeaves! Just about everything goes with that little gemstone and keshi piece. Happy New Year, Pomelo! Your ring makes quite a statement! It looks beautiful on its own or with all your other pretty bling. Gorgeous! Ooo, that...

I love what you’ve done with those pearls, Linda. Those strands of Akoya were so so beautiful, and you got three of them? You’re so lucky, they were simply divine!

Thanks so much Mary-Contrary and CatMom! It’s good to see you CatMom! I often think about that beautiful SS bracelet of yours.:giggle: Fun hats, BWeaves! I felted one a long time ago, but I have no idea what I did with it. Japan Kasumi strand and tin cup from Kojima, and pecan charms also...

Thanks A Breaker and Pomelo! I’m happy you found this helpful since I really just work on the bead board without thinking much about a process. I did have another thought about the pearls that catch my attention. I never or rarely put them right next to each other. I think that takes away from...

Thank you, Happy Huku!! I feel like many of us have the same pearl background starting with Akoya pearls that were given to us by grandmothers or mothers. I remember looking at my aunt’s high school annual and everyone was wearing a black sweater and several with a strand of white Akoya pearls...
