Visiting Dad today. Feeling a bit Victorian. Freshwater pearl bracelet from my Mom's collection. Akoya and ruby earrings were a gift from my Mom. I think they were from Mayors Jewelers in Orlando, Florida. Akoya pearl necklace is my own design that I made for my wedding. I ended up wearing my grandmother's pearls instead, but I've always loved this necklace. I recently had more pearls added by Pearl Paradise so the necklace lays lower on my neck. They did an amazing job matching the pearls and restringing it. White pearls are all unique. It's a challenge to match pearls into a strand, let alone match existing pearls. I recently lost a Mikimoto pearl earring and even Mikimoto could NOT match the pearl for one earring. They ended up giving me two new pearls (not for free). And last but not least, South Sea keshi birds ring from SeaBeautyShop on Etsy.
