Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

Purranha, I think I need a drink and a cigarette (and I don't smoke). Those are amazing...you layer so well! And you are an inspiration. And I love that lace top with the pearls...tres chic.[/QUOTE]

Ooooh la la ! This made me laugh!! It is a fabulous look on you Purranha ... absolutely fabulous! Not everything layers well but you've done an excellent job with the shapes and textures on that outfit !!
 
Oh, I love the juxtaposition of the last two styles! They are both stunning in unique ways and I wouldn't be able to choose which I love more!
 
Ckrickett, your petite baroque Tahitian rope has unbelievable colors!

Madsciencechick, your Pipi necklace and ring are to die for!

I'm wearing my PP souffle ring and Edison strand.

Baby Nurse, ooooooooo, that Edison necklace is to die for.

I know you've posted photos comparing it to SS earrings, although earrings are often a better quality pearl, so I wasn't sure how to compare them. I was wondering if you could tell me in words how you think Edisons compare to SS pearls since I've never seen either in person. Do you think they are comparable? Are the SS worth the extra thousands for a similar strand?
 
Okay BabyNurse ... the ring is gorgeous, and I really can't think of another adjective to describe how lovely that Edison strand looks on you, so I'm jumping right to the sweater ... that dreamy, delicious deep seafoam color ... and is that a VELVET ribbon under the button?!?!? Sigh ... :)
 
Ooh, that ring is really dreamy, and the pearls just glow against your skin, BN. These photos and the lovely soft spring weather we've been experiencing in California this week prompt me to post a photo of my own - my own eponymous Screamers and a coordinating diminutive cephalopod. Reading about Jeremy's latest trip to Hong Kong made me nostalgic to feel these beauties against my skin...I had such fun sorting through piles of metallic pearls last September...

Great screamers photo!! And so aptly named.

I'm wearing my baroque akoyas and metallic white FW studs today, both 9.5-10mm.

I think they are comparable but it depends on what you are looking for. I had a gorgeous strand of WSS but it was very white and because of that, it didn't suit me. This Edison strand has cream and pink in it which does suit me so it's a perfect fit:eek:

When I compare them in person to my Burmese WSS studs, they are very similar but the luster and overtones are sharper on the studs. If I could have a strand of those, I would. My recommendation would be to compare them in person. I expect the Edisons will only get better!
