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...

Looking forward to seeing what you are working on, A Breaker! So Happy to see you pop in Happy Huku! And ahhhh, sun, seafood and pearls! How lovely!!! Tahitian studs from Kamoka with two rope lengths I put together- one baroque and the other off rounds.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season! Wearing a pendant from Maui Divers, Hawaii, little h studs of golden SS’s lined with yellow sapphires, and golden SS jackets and a strand I put together.

Hmmm, I’m not sure I have a system as I tend to rely on what appeals to my eyes, but maybe there are a few things I think about. I use a bead board and start with what I want to use for the center pearl. Then I choose some of the pearls that I want to draw the eye to and place them along the...

What a great combination of T’s, Tiger! Hope they kept you toasty warm at your boat parade! Baggins Akoya wave strand from NaHoku Hawaii, a tin cup I wire-wrapped with silvery blue J. Hunter Fiji keshi from PP, and SS keshi studs from a PP/Takahashi live event with Akoya jackets I made with...

Thanks so much, BWeaves! Sometimes I forget about wearing some of these bigger baroque strands I have. All things I made- A necklace of spinel and Tahitian and Tahitian keshi, an adjustable tin cup I made with white SS keshi from Druzy, and earrings made with Akoya and Tahitian keshi.
