jeg, Kamoka keshi?? Super special! And I love the blue akoya!!

Lisa, not 100% sure but probably by end of the week. One's from Druzy and another is from PP's Labor Day sale, both Edison strands. My first foray into Edisons!

Thanks jesskat! I hope you like your new pearls. It will open up a whole new range of colors for you!

Two metallic temp strands from Pearls By The Bay that I was able to make a rope and a bracelet from. Worn with a necklace I made of metallic freshwater pearls from Kojima, FW keshi, and natural, wild Sea of Cortez pearls.

Thank you, LisaC, BWeaves, Marianne, Lilpearl and CathyKeshi!

Happy to be a part of your morning, LisaC!

CathyKeshi, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the Sea of Cortez pearls, but they seem to work with the freshwater pearls. Thank you!

Pearl mail #1 came yesterday from PP... metallic purple Edisons.




They're more lavender than I'd thought from the site photos, but I'm sitting with them a bit to see how I like them. They're growing on me steadily. The luster is definitely fantastic and paired with the right kinds of clothes, they're lovely. I'm not 100% sure how they go with my skin tone yet, but.

Jesskat, I think the Edisons are lovely with your skin tone and a great size on you. But of course, if you don’t love them, you should send them back and find some that you do. I find vendor pics of Edisons hard to gauge - I’ve tried several strand that really looked purple on screen, but turned out to have bronze or coppery tones IRL.
Not that I have a problem with bronze-y pearls - in fact, I’m on a bit of a pondslime kick at the moment. Yesterday’s pearls:

But I did get these amazing (and definitely not bronze) Edisons a few days ago. Still deciding whether to set them as studs or dangles.
