Thanks. The color is even more intense in person.

Thanks Syrie, it is the life!

This morning I was watching some of the Pearl Harbor commemorative ceremony on the news and the pearls of the moment were white strands and studs. Classy and appropriate.

Bunny has been checking out some of the decorations and gardens-

And met up with a gingerbread hula girl. Just a temporary friend since she will probably be a snack later today.

I went to four different craft fairs and markets this weekend. I love the local jewelry crafters, as their work incorporates pearls and shells. I usually don’t ask to take pics since it’s their creative work. I didn’t think about asking if I could take pics of what they were wearing until I was at the end. The first one is a simple leather necklace with T’s-

This woman made her ring, floating necklace and earrings. The earrings are big hoops with a Tahitian keshi dangle and little white keshi wired across the hoops.

If you thought yesterday's blues were good, you ain't seen nothing yet. Vietnamese BBAs (blue baroque akoyas) from PP (Pearl Paradise). Natural color, not dyed.

Courtroom pearls yesterday. Most of my clients are in very serious trouble, charged with various serious federal crimes. But at least I can try to class up the joint when I’m in court for them. The necklace is multicolored Tahitians from a local jeweler. The earrings: pearls are from Roberto Lay; then I had a jeweler set them with Tanzanite and yellow gold.

So fun reading your pearl reporting from Hawaii @jeg! Here in Sicily I see a lot of people wearing mostly freshwater pearls from the tiny ones to the very showy ones, even dyed freshies made that pretend to be Ts, but real Tahitian sighting are so rare…Once or thrice in 15 years…

@Syrie Oh Wow definitely a class act pearls you have there! I especially love love LOVE the tanzanites and pearls combination, what a stunner!

@BWeaves let me repeat myself all your blue akoyas are the height of gorgeousness

@PearlyLibrarian Love the torsade! Those akoyas are truly glowing! And the keshi ombre is so cute!!!

I am getting ready for travelling to my hometown for Christmas, having some pearl choices to make, choose the ones that are going with me;-) This T strand made by Margaret from Simply Adorned on Etsy is definitely coming, I almost forgot about it, then remembered it due to other thread on this forum. It is so versatile, a great design by our dear @jeg. Pearls mostly from CMW, the big 14mm blueish T is from Druzy I had no idea what to do with it for the longest time as it is too big for me but I found that it works perfectly with this necklace.
I am also taking a sunny necklace fom leftover pearls and gem beads ( my last makeover of this year) a summer vibe in cold European winter.
