Gorgeous! Enjoy your visit!

I went with the "more is more" tahitian look today. Rope of baroque circled tahitians that I assembled from a few lots from wenpearls on etsy, my category killer pendant from Jac, my first tahitian (still favorite) strand of baroques from PP, and finally a pair of green studs also from Jac.

Also, I'll take pictures of the new SoC babies I got today once I get home! Eek!

Gorgeous Black Beauties!

My pictures do no justice! I almost think I may just collect some more of these baroque SoC pearls and eventually make a tin cup bracelet or maybe a necklace. The one on the left has a lot of pink overtones in person and the one on the left is greenish blue. Really unlike any other pearls I have.

I think the mabe is destined for a ring. I think I lean towards rose gold to bring out the pink even more!

Glad you got a pair! Won't have the problems associated with driving and watching SoC pearls!
The Mabe could be a concern if you turn it into a ring: try not to drive & pearl! Best make a pendant with it!

Just kidding...anything you end up with: Please share with us! Would love to see how these turn out.

Those Rikiteas look like fun. They each have their own little personality!

Thanks! I think so too. Each is different.

Katbran is located in Australia and usually has white SS, or you can make a request. Her IG page is pearlzaustralia.

Wearing a blue-ish WSS strand with a few tokki pearls from Pearl Paradise today.

@2thdktr It's a little bit of a jury-rig, but it does the trick, haha. I have a few extenders like this that I made with different lengths and link sizes.

How clever! Love the ingenuity of that extender. Also love the tokkis-- they are always so cute. Beautiful strand. Thanks for posting your extender.

Those SS are so blue and glowy, SurfnSci! Beautiful!

I took a very quick, last minute trip to San Rafael to visit the Kojima studio and hang out with Sarah. She’s getting ready to head to the Kasumi farm in Japan, and just started a new online sale, so there was a lot going on. I’ll take pics of what I brought back later, but in the meantime, here is some eye candy from the studio.
I loved the earrings!!! So many choices-

 

[jeg]

I love these tourmaline wheel and peek-a-boo creations so much! Both the earrings and the necklaces are just so fun.

And some of these sweet little necklaces are back in stock. Sorry, my own necklaces are a bit of a distraction-

 

[jeg]

And now I’ll post random pics-

I am somewhere between envy and giddiness. I would love to visit Sarah's studio (and perhaps get locked in overnight). I look forward to seeing your treasures!
Coincidentally, I was meeting for lunch with someone on Friday, and left the house 100% Kojima-chested, with Kamoka'ed ears. I still stink at selfies (these are not yllow pearls) but I gave it a shot. Fresh water pearls with silvery iridescent overtones on storm grey knots, multicolored Tahitian tin cup, wired wrapped baroque SS and silvery/blue akoya. Light silver little Tahitian earrings. I fell in love with their matching bumps with slight honey rings. I'm finding that these necklaces are quickly becoming my workhorses; they pair so well with so many different pieces.

JEG: Thank you for the Kojima photos. I know they do ear and neck shots, but it helps to see the pieces on someone I know. I'm so jealous. One of these days I'll make to Pearls By The Bay. Sigh.

Pearlgirl12: "100% Kojima-chested" made me laugh tea all over my keyboard. I think I'm stealing that and "Kamoka-eared."

We should turn it into a hashtag

It really does help to see the pieces on someone. Sometimes I have trouble visualizing the size and scale of a piece even with the measurements in front of me, so JEG really performed a great service.
