Thanks so much, Pearly-Whites! I love your necklace and bracelet and I think the necklace looks great on you! Oooo, love the bracelet and ring, SurfnSci! A double Tahitian strand with a vintage clasp from the PacificPearl/Kojima collection, worn with earrings I wire-wrapped.

Another idea that would check several boxes- dainty, shiny things, unusual and rare looking, would be the little h line of jewelry. I’m not seeing it listed on Pearl Paradise’ website, but you can contact Hisano, at Pearl Paradise to check the availability. She is no longer producing these...

Throwing something else into the mix. Since she likes dainty, natural pearls, and peculiar, what about a keshi piece? Keshi can be smaill, they are a result of a happy “accident” as a byproduct of the culturing process, and they have unique shapes. Here’s a dainty necklace available well within...

Thanks so much, Amoreperla! Circle Tahitian rope and bracelets I put together, with Tahitian keshi and coral earrings from Druzy.

Thank you, Pomelo and SurfnSci! Pretty rings, Tecs1990 and BWeaves! Congratulations, Pomelo!! Is your due date soon? You wear large studs well! MintyFresh, what a great project for getting back into your jewelry making. SurfnSci, you look absolutely elegant! A golden SS pearl I chose from...

Thanks MintyFresh! They are Augers and are easily found on different beaches. Pretty colors BWeaves! Love the combinations. I think I’ve only taken a few photos of those pieces, but the necklace I’ve had since last summer, and the ring was from my visit to the Takahashi office in March...

A blue Akoya ring from Takahashi, a drop necklace of FW, SS, Kasumi, Tahitian and Akoya pearls from Kojima, and a necklace I wire-wrapped with Fiji keshi pearls from PP.

Merrily, I don’t know what the shirt looked like to begin with, but I like the end result! When I used the Rit dye to dye white plastic pearls to black, I left them in the dye for 24 hours. I used some sort of small plastic container to soak them in.

A SS pendant from PP worn on an Akoya keshi necklace from Kojima. The other necklace is a large (10.5+) baroque Akoya from Takahashi, the SS keshi studs are from PP/Takahashi live, and the jackets were made with loose Akoya from Takahashi.

Beautiful Akoyas, SurfnSci! I love the combinations, BWeaves! Love that dangly pendant! The inner Tahitian necklace is from Kamoka, and the outer is from Maui Divers. Worn with earrings I wrapped.

Thanks BWeaves! I like your new bracelet. It goes perfectly with Planet Berna! SS tokki earrings from Kojima, a new Kasumi pendant, also from Kojima, and two Tahitian keshi necklaces I wrapped.

Bella3x, a belated welcome to the forum! I enjoyed looking through your collection. I especially like your newest 3 strand multi necklace. Great find!

Pretty layers of green, BWeaves! Ooo, beautiful strand, SurfnSci! A Kamoka harvest bracelet, a Tahitian keshi necklace from Kojima, and a light multi-colored Tahitian opera length I put together.

They are freshwater pearls. I have two brooches purchased from Kojima. I can’t remember off the top of my head, but maybe somewhere around 2013. They were handmade by a woman in Hong Kong. I mostly wear the large one as a pendant, and the smaller one on a wristband. Here are some old photos that...

Your SS’s are beautiful, Syrie! I’ve always wanted something set in that blossom setting, too. Thanks for taking the pics of your work, BWeaves! I especially love the leafy designs. My grandmother used to make all our kimonos, but all the obi ties were purchased. I do not miss being dressed in...
