Charlotta, I think I could pull off a very deep golden color, or a very light champagne one. I think the in between shades might be the problem. But I'm also thinking about just getting a pendant...

I did some shopping today (mostly thrift stores, because my philosophy is if you save money on clothes, you have more for jewelry!), and experimented with adding a pin to my SSP necklace. It... sort...

I have enjoyed this thread so much, Charlotta! I fall in love with Tahitians just a little more, every time I see a new color- of which there are so, so many! Your collection is a dream. ...

Sydk, I'm in love with your ripple pearls! There's something about the baroque pearls that are growing on me. I thought I was a round only kinda girl, but they're winning me over. So fun with the...

And thank you for all the sweet compliments! Getting to put on makeup and jewelry and dress up is what gets me out of bed in the mornings, and is one of the best parts of my day. I think y'all will...

My first picture is what I actually wore. My white SSP necklace with an opal and diamond antique pendant and opal earrings to go with it. It was a stunning combination, if I say so myself! The chain...

I love that clasp!

Wow! Just imagine owning that... would you wear it? I'm pretty gaudy myself, so I could definitely justify it!

I wore pearls almost everyday this week, but I only snapped a couple photos of my favourite combinations. Turns out it was the Tahitian pearls both times! I just love them. I wear a lot of warm...

Thank you Charlotta! By "new" I mean the pearls I've bought in the last six weeks, none I haven't shown off in the thread yet. I'll definitely show them layered though! So, in your opinion a chain of...

Oh, golden south sea pearls! That's my favorite (of the moment). It's all personal preference, though. Do you know if she likes warm colors? Does she wear more gold or silver? If she wears more...

Beautiful pearls everyone! I've been homebound by this horrible winter storm we've had in Texas this week, but hopefully I'll be back at work on Monday and ready to wear my pearls again! Before...

The blue akoya pearls are just so pretty, Bridie! And it's a great color on you too

Oh no, I need to get off this thread, Pareltej! It just makes me want to spend all my money! Seriously, though, those golden pearls are mouth wateringly beautiful! The green overtone is amazing!

Jeg, this might be obvious, but what kind of pearls is the copper strand? It's beautiful!

My Tahitian necklace and I thank you all for the compliments! I wore them for the first time, and they're my new everyday pearls, lol! They were so flattering and comfortable. Every time I passed a...

I think because of my red hair I can get away with warm tones. Actually, usually I prefer them. I'm dreaming of golden olive Tahitians and golden SSP. I'll just have to keep dreaming for a while. ;)

Oh, I love clasps! I hate paying for a brand, so I haven't dived into Mikimoto yet, but my eye goes straight to the clasp as well. I'm still new to pearl collecting, but I have one vintage clasp and...

Oh wow! I agree with everyone else, my eyes go straight to the green/gold ones

I got my new Tahitian pearl necklace today!! It's another estate piece, but the clasp was 18k and says "Delia and Tasaki," so I figured it was a pretty safe bet that these were quality pearls. And I...

Thank you! I think so too, and I'm sure one of them will come home with me eventually. And hey, if the seller prices them right I might buy them again, as freshwaters.
Btw, I got my pearl stringing...

Oh yeah, very subtle. So beautiful, though!

Three times? I'm just about to restring pearls and the video I watched just knotted once. She was doing small pearls, though. It does make sense when I think about it to make bigger knots for big...

Ooo, I bet it was pretty! I wonder if it was dyed?

Yeah, I'm pretty confident they're FW pearls at this point. The folks on this thread know their stuff. They're still beautiful and valuable I'm sure, but my eyes are on SSP!
