A stunning bride with the perfect adornment - pearls!

Thank you!

Today I’m in vintage cashmere which probably dates from the late 50s or early 60s. I don’t think it can ever have been worn or washed, because the neckline and cuffs are unstretched, and the colour is INSANELY bright (cashmere obviously deserves its reputation for taking dye really well). It also has cool buttons. With all that going on, I decided to keep my accessories simple - GSS 11mm button studs.

I’ve been reading this strand again from the start, and have noticed two things:
1) Pearls have changed a lot even in the few years this thread has been running - In the earlier posts, there are “exotics” that are now quite common, souffles which are now rare, and those Gellner-style hematite and pearl roles that are so pretty and I had completely forgotten about, amongst other changes. Also lots of great purchases from PP monthly specials.
2) The people on this forum have some AMAZING pearls! Thank you to everyone who has shared pics, because it has been a treat for me see them all while binge-reading over the last few days.

Cashmere holds up very well throughout the years. I have some of my Mom's sweaters from the early 1960's that are still going strong. It's me who grew out of them.

I've learned that if a new pearl style comes in, I can't wait and dither about it. I've seen too many pearl styles disappear when the farmers move on to culturing a different style and shape of pearl.

Audrie013: I love your choker, bracelet and you're whole look. Very elegant.

SydK: I love your reworked necklaces.

Over the weekend I wore my littleh pendant and yellow gold Miki earrings.



And today I wore the Kamoka Goddess on a chain, and Kamoka peacock and lavender mismatched studs.

Perfect summer looks on you, BWeaves!

Audrie- You look so beautiful and your pearls are wonderful. Like looking at a picture in a magazine.

Sydk- Your pondslime ripples look great on you. Bronze IMHO is such a special color in pearls.


BWeaves- I love your pendants. The Little H pendant is amazing with the emeralds. Her creations are so unique and beautiful. You look great wearing it.

I've been admiring everyone's pearls in this forum for a while, but this is my first time sharing my pearls. This cheap freshie from Wen turn out great, I like it so much. It brightens up my day

[Marianne]

Your pearls have beautiful luster, thysa! Thanks for sharing.

Welcome, thysa! Your pearls turned out great! Hope you’ll continue to post.

This week I worked with gemstones using old mine tourmaline, peridot, aquamarine, etc...


These will be good for fall

WOW, ladies!!! You all look so wonderful in your pearls & new creations. Welcome, Thysa. You're going to love it here.

We've had rain all week but it looks like the sun is coming out. Today I'm wearing my 2 Kojima waterfall necklaces along with my WSS sterling octopus with little green diamond eyes, Autore WSS drop earrings & ring.

Sheer boredom! Although Texas has relaxed restrictions, my husband and I are still remaining at home except for periodic supermarket visits. I do get "dressed" each day with makeup but usually no jewelry. Today I made an effort and I am wearing one of my baroque silver Tahitian strands. It is one of the first long strands I bought at least 5 years ago from American Pearl.

Jeg, delightful earrings and your wire-wrapping is exceptionally dainty and fine! Two wraps is plenty strong and a subtle look, imo. Please give us a photo modeling these before fall!
