[JerseyPearl]

Over half way to the 100th day of school...and no duplicates? This is a lovely set.

 

[baby nurse]

Lovely on you, BAS!

 

[Tucs]

Lovely, BAS!

DAY 55:

One of my favorite pieces ever:

 

[Purranha]

I remember the story! 2 buying trips! (or was it 3?)
Beautiful!!!!!!!

 

[BWeaves]

I think that triple may be one of my favorite pieces, too.

And the earring are lovely, as well. What's the mm size on your Bauhaus earrings?

 

[Tucs]

Love that triple, and goes great with red!

I don't remember but on the PP website currently it says they are 9 to 10mm pearls for the earrings. That makes sense. The triple pearls are something like 6mm, 7mm and 8mm.

 

[BWeaves]

Thanks. Both the earrings and the necklace are two of my favorites of your pieces. I love how the pearls "stack" because they are different sizes.

Just stunning. Is the necklace strung to 16", 17" and 18" ? Or longer?

I don't remember. 16" for the innermost strand, or shorter.

DAY 56:

I wanted to see my triple Edison tin cup on my skin:

 

[JerseyPearl]

Love that triple tin...what size are the stones? They look like pink tourmalines...just lovely what ever they might be!! And they look fabulous with your skin tone.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oh, that's GORGEOUS, BAS!!!!!!

 

[BAS]

Love that triple tin...what size are the stones? They look like pink tourmalines...just lovely what ever they might be!! And they look fabulous with your skin tone.

The pearls are quite large. Almost 14mm. I think I'll close the clasp along the chain a bit tighter next time and see if it sits better slightly shorter.

 

[GemGeek]

Those Mimi pearl earrings are too cute.

DAY 57:

I forgot to take a picture while I was wearing my purple dress (of which I have three in variations of purple)! I'm now in my flannel nightgown. Tahitian ombre necklace with new Tahitian/blue akoya ombre earrings:

 

[BWeaves]

I love the ombre necklace and earrings on you. It's funny, I didn't care for the glamour shots of those two pieces, but I love the necklace and earrings on you, even with the flannel nightie! It makes me reconsider getting something like that in the future for myself.

I had the same reaction! It's when I saw pictures of them posted on the forum that I became interested in a set for myself. I really do love the ombre necklace and the two sets of Tahitian ombre earrings I have that go with the necklace.
