BWeaves, I’m getting a little worried about you… your foot, finger, and now surgery?🥹 That’s a great story, though! Rikitea strand from Cees, cherry Tahitian studs from a PP/Hong Kong Live event, and a vintage jade bracelet that was gifted to me from a dear friend.

Well, MMtwo, the new pics tell a completely different story. 😳 The darker colors make more sense, since they were trying to replicate the original pearls you were interested in. The turquoise beads will add a fun pop of color with any type of pearl!

Trying another shot. Sorry, it turned very dark and overcast here- I think it would be a great color for a silvery blue/gray strand.

I lost this morning’s sunlight, but Sky has a little more blue to it than the Gray, and is lighter than the Teal.

You are welcome! I don’t even remember what I have done, so it’s kind of fun to go back and look. If those pearls are a really light, cool, color with silvers and light blues, it might be pretty on “Sky” too. I use Sky mainly with my blue/silver blue Akoyas.

Thanks so much, MMtwo! A necklace of individual Tahitian slides, that can be arranged using any number of them, from Tahiti Pearl Market in Hawaii. I bought this several years ago, and unfortunately they no longer have their Hawaii location. Worn with a Tahitian ring I bought at one of the Hong...

☺️ I really don’t think you can go wrong with thread color, MMtwo! I have a lot of multi-colored Tahitians, and just about every color blends in. My personal preference is more to blend in, however, so I haven’t used any wild contrasting colors while knotting yet. I pulled out a few more strands...

Looking forward to seeing your pearls all knotted up! I’ve used a few different colors with my Tahitian strands. I have a couple shades of gray that I use a lot, and another color that I use a lot is teal. I only use Serafil thread from Pattye. Pulling up some examples- The front strand is one...

Thanks so much, MintyFresh!😊 A very special necklace of vintage Japan Biwa pearls gifted by Fuji, at Pacific Pearls, from his personal collection. Worn with a tin cup I wire-wrapped with vintage Biwa pearls, and earrings of FW pearls. Both necklaces exhibit a variety of Biwa shapes.

Oh, I love that leaf pendant, MMtwo! It’s perfect for this season. A friend of mine is a metal worker and is making me a leaf pendant. It won’t have a pearl attached, but I’ll wear it with a an added pearl pendant. I always take this necklace out in the fall. They are Fiji pearls, from Cees...

That’s a colorful new pendant, BWeaves, and the Akoyas are so bubbly! Two bracelets of J. Hunter Fiji Pearls. I bought the one with the toggle clasp in Fiji, and I chose the pearls for the one with the orbit clasp on a visit to the PP vault. I randomly arranged the necklace with Fiji pearls...

Everything looks fabulous, Pomelo! Let us know when you have an announcement to make so we can celebrate with you! Thanks so much, MIntyFresh! I love the different colors of Fiji pearls, too! Hahaha, BWeaves- I probably do have a similar dress. I have a lot of polka dot stuff. Love the new...

I love pendants, BWeaves! They’re always my go to along with studs. Seashell and Tahitian earrings and pendant from Kojima, worn with a mixed Tahitian rope length from an Intergem Show.

ennui and MintyFresh, I like pistachio Tahitians, too, but pistachio Akoyas are another story. It’s the one pearl color I’m not fond of for my coloring. That’s a pretty mix of Akoya, MintyFresh! Two ropes of mixed Tahitians I put together. One is baroque, the other more roundish. Worn with...

Thanks so much, MintyFresh, for your thoughtful and kind reply!☺️ And I especially love your SS keshi rope! Three strands of Fiji pearls I randomly knotted with pearls from Cees. Worn with pistachio Tahitian earrings I wire-wrapped.
