Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[jeg]

Glad you decided to come out and play, Izzie! Looking forward to seeing more of you in pearls

J.Hunter Fiji pearls- a keshi necklace and bracelet with toggle I purchased in Fiji, and a bracelet I put together on a visit to the PP Vault. I wire-wrapped the earrings with Tahitians and locally sourced jade slices.

After silently drooling over all the pretty pearls here, decided to come out of the shadows. Out gallivanting the city of Chicago with my multi colored FWP.

Gallivant away! (and often) Those are a really lovely array!

That lime green touch takes it to the next level. It's my favorite 'kick' color to add to a colorway.

I cant decided what I love more, your fashion (dress) sense or your pearls

Thanks Merrily! Me, too! I love lime green.

Thanks so much for the sweet compliment, Izzy!

Sea of Cortez mabe pearls I chose at one of the Tucson shows. Sarah (Kojima) had them set into the gold earrings for me. Worn with two necklaces I wire-wrapped with loose Akoya from Takahashi.

I really like the way that the pearls on the necklace hang in pairs on each strand.

Thanks so much, Shani!

Thank you, Merrily! I liked the simple style so much, I wire-wrapped the same pattern with other types of pearls, too.

Wearing two strands of early Edison pearls from PP, with feather pearl earrings from Kojima.

That lime green touch takes it to the next level. It's my favorite 'kick' color to add to a colorway.

Sarah at Kojima loves color, too, and she's experimenting with neon thread -- she has something she calls "lime twist" that is tempting.

Vintage untreated coral twisted into a torsade from Pacific Pearls/Kojima, a necklace of Tahitian keshi and pearls with amethyst and coral beads from Kojima, and coral and Tahitian keshi earrings from Druzy.

 

[Pella]

Love it Jeg. Love everything about it. The torsade is wonderful but the necklace is just glorious - playful with tiny accent coral beads. And the whole with your outfit is perfect.

 

[jeg]

Thank you, Pella!!

Two necklaces and earring jackets I wire-wrapped with tiny Tahitians from Alex Collins. The little diamond studs were my mom’s.

From Kojima- keshi and tourmaline earrings, a vintage jade fish and Kasumi pendant, and a petal pearl pendant. I wire-wrapped the station chains.

 

[Syrie]

My 3 strand choker I designed back in 1986. PP helped me lengthen it from a high dog collar to a choker length. Dog collar is the actual name for those Edwardian chokers that sat high on the neck.

Two pendants from Kojima that I wear on my own earring hoops. Summer Rainbow and Winter Snowman. Summer Rainbow's colors aren't showing up in the photo.

Love that choker!

Jade and freshwater pearls from Kojima. These felt lightweight and summery. It's 90F today and stormy.

My ears aren't exactly parallel to the ground, so having one earring longer than the other really works for me.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

LOL @BWeaves. I always have to have my eyeglass frames adjusted as my right ear is slightly higher.
But then my left piercing is slightly higher, so it balances out...almost.
I still put whichever earring is longer-- or larger-- on my left ear.

 

[BWeaves]

Yeah, I usually have to try my asymmetrical earrings on twice to figure out which way they look best.

Visiting Dad today. Natural color freshwater keshi pearls from Kojima Pearl. The big pearl is even more colorful in real life. I dub thee The Devine Sarah.

WOWZA! BBBA arrived! Big Blue Baroque Akoya ring from Takahashi. It was from a PP Live back in April, and Takahashi was going to resize it for me, since I need a size 9. And then I was away in Germany, so it only just arrived. It's amazing. The luster, the orient, the SIZE. And it's comfortable. I love it.

I'm deciding on the Sea of Cortez pearls. Not all of them have arrived yet. I bought way too much under the influence of jet lag. Usually I hesitate too long, but I was quick on the draw that night.

The top mabe' was private collection, and the bottom two mabe's were natural mabe's. I'm keeping the bottom two, and I may set them together like this as an enhancer.

Top pearl is the private collection, National Selection drop. It's gorgeous. The bottom two were less expensive baroques. All are gorgeous, but the top drop blows the two baroques out of the water, if you'll pardon the pun. Bottom right is really blue. Bottom left is very pink. Top drop has rainbow colors all over it when you twirl it.

Just waiting on the SoC keshi to arrive to see if I want to mix them with any of the other pearls in a tin-cup.
