I’m glad you decided to join us acp-pearls! That Assael collection was especially lovely. I’d love to learn some simple braiding techniques, BWeaves. Seems like it would be really fun. A Monili orchid clasp with a natural abalone pearl on a strand of blue Tahitians from PP. And a ring from...

Thanks so much, BWeaves! A custom dangly SS keshi necklace from Takahashi, wispy tiny golden and white Akoya earrings from a PP/Takahashi Live event that I managed to get on the waitlist, and a tin cup I made with random vintage Akoya from Pacific Pearls.

Cuon, it’s a family business based in Kobe. They do have offices in a few other countries. If you want to message me with your location, I can give you contact information for your location. Mr. Shah and his father accumulated a remarkable collection of keshi over decades in the business.

I was only able to catch the tail end of yesterday’s live event, but I’ve had my Japan Kasumi out all week. Wearing a Japan Kasumi tin cup from Kojima, with keshi necklace and bracelet, and FW earrings I made. All Japan Kasumi from Kojima/Pacific Pearls. The studs are from last year’s Live event.

A multi-strand necklace of teeny Akoya keshi with sapphire briolettes from the House of Keshi, faceted studs from Komatsu Cutting Factory, and a FW pendant from PP.

Thanks so much, Pella! I’ve had the necklace for a long time but I somehow don’t get around to wearing it much. It’s from the first Pearls By The Bay. Two Japan Kasumi necklaces from Kojima/Pacific Pearls.

Freshwater pearls/keshi, and Akoya mix necklace from Kojima with earrings I made.

BWeaves, your comfort zone has expanded tremendously. I remember you mostly in white when I met you and look at you now!:giggle: Beautiful together AnnaPetite! A long rope of baroque Akoya with a Tahitian dangle from Kojima, a long rope I put together with beautiful golden Akoya keshi from the...

Thanks so much, Merrily! I love clothes as much as I love pearls and I have way too many of both.:rolleyes: And haha, wouldn’t purple puppies be fun?! Fun combinations of pearls, BWeaves. Pearls go with everything! More clothes than pearls in this pic. The necklace hid behind the jacket. A...

A tin cup necklace I made with loose purple pearls from a PP Live event. Freshwater and ruby studs from little h, with tourmaline jackets I made and also a little keshi bracelet I put together.

Thanks BWeaves! Wire-wrapping projects have added to my collection exponentially. I find the pieces lighter and easier to wear as well. Pretty combinations! Adding the turquoise and gems adds different dimensions in colors we can’t bring out in pearls. Pearl Dreams, I always love when I find...

Thanks so much, BWeaves and Mary-Contrary! BWeaves, I’ve always liked purple and green together. Mary-Contrary, what an amazing thrift find! I made another tin cup necklace with some of my loose Akoya pearls from Takahashi. This one is spaced a little further apart, and includes some of the...

Thanks Merrily- it could be either! ;) It’s almost like having a new necklace, BWeaves. Glad the revision worked out for you! An Akoya bracelet from Kojima, with a Tahitian and Tahitian keshi necklace I put together.

Pretty layers, BWeaves! More pearls from my visit to Takahashi Pearl. A strand of blue baroque Akoya that I’m not sure how I’ll use. The two long pearls in the front have been telling me they should be used in dangle earrings somehow. Maybe use some of the strand for a shorter length necklace...

Those are really statement studs, Pomelo! Love all the mix of Tahitians, BWeaves! Slowly getting a few things unpacked. It always takes me forever to unpack. Here’s my ring from Takahashi. (Platinum and blue Akoya), and some loose pearls for projects. I always size my rings one size up so I...
