Hi Purr!

Well, the emerald little h Grotto pendant arrived, and I had a bit of buyer's remorse. It was absolutely gorgeous, but I've bought so many pearl pieces this last 2 months, and I like my previous pieces better, so I sent it back. I really need to pay my insurance premiums with that money, cough cough.

My little h pieces. The emerald Finestrino / Point pendant and emerald and pearl tin-cup are from my first and second RUCKUS's. The ruby Grotto pendant and Point earrings are new last month. The Hong Kong Live gold SS pearl pendant that I've name Pomme de la Mer is also new last month. Not little h, but still "pearl bucks to Pearl Paradise," so I've really overspent on pearls recently.

Wowza, BWeaves, that is a gorgeous collection!

Love your Kasumi earrings, Jeg - those overtones are amazing and look great with your Pacific Pearls strand.
 
Thanks so much, SurfnSci! Thanks, Douglas! It’s such a great wall display.

I‘ve had so much fun playing with all the pearls from my visit to the Takahashi office in Japan. I had asked to look for a pair of 9-9.5mm for studs, two baroque strands I could use for a rope, a short round strand, and also waiting for me- a pair of baroque grey Akoya studs I had chosen during the summer, and those beautiful rare colors of Akoya. This time, I decided to knot them into bracelets of different sizes. Everything was chosen separately. I didn’t make any attempt to match anything.

I love the little h Grotto pendants, but I decided I liked my Finestrino enhancer better.

This emerald Grotto should be back at PP tomorrow if anyone else would like it.

Oh such gorgeous pearls jeg. I don't think it could get any better than those!
 
Love seeing everyone wearing their pearls!

I just recvd a pair of 12mm metallic freshwaters. The luster is great but the photo advertised said they were purple?

In person they are a gorgeous rose gold/mauve, but i am not disappointed at all! Im happy to add these to my collection!

They came half drilled, and i will be turning them into studs!

Stevie Boy, I've found some purple pearls fade. I also have a large one that was advertised at dark purple, but arrived a lighter shade, but still purple at least.

Today I'm lounging at home, with lots of pearls to keep my neck warm. It's in the 50s here today. Cold for Florida.

Earrings and pendant are Kasumi pearls from Kojima. Freshwater tin-cup from Kojima. Top strand of the rope is Kojima freshwater ripples in a peachy color, while the bottom strand are intensely green and purple colored ripples and from the sister site, Pacific Pearls. The pearls are very colorful on my purple top, but the photos aren't picking up the color and luster at all.

Believe it or not, but the pearls are even MORE colorful in real life than in the following photos.

Thanks so much, CatMom!:giggle:
They look like a nice pair of metallics, even though they aren’t purple, StevieBoy. I’m with you- I would not have been disappointed. Cullens0913, great Robert Wan’s. I love his T’s. BWeaves, as much as I love the Peanuts characters, happiness is bundled up in oodles of pearls, not a warm blanket. Well, I guess there are times for that warm blanket, especially these days.

White Akoya from my visit to Takahashi. I mentioned these pieces were chosen individually without regard for matching, yet I wore them all together. In my world, everything blends.:LOL:
