A Year of Pearls in the Life of a Pre-K Teacher:

[BAS]

Thanks, everyone! I wore what I consider my "royal blue" top today and everyone claimed it was purple!

DAY 77:

 

[baby nurse]

Cough, cough. Looks purple on my screen

Gorgeous ripples with that color top!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Purple, blue...to me the operative word is Royal! And those pearls do look regal.

This thread just gets better and better. Loving it, BAS!!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Royal is all the name that gorgeous color needs BAS ... the pearls look amazing on it!

 

[JerseyPearl]

I am wearing my white baby ripples from PP in honor of the coming blizzard! Stay safe everyone in it's way!!

 

[judimcc6]

Ha! Blizzard pearls! That's a good reason.

DAY 78:

My Week of Ripples ends with the first set I ever bought. "Golden figs" ripples from CC:

 

[baby nurse]

Love the shapes and luster on those. I think I have this strand's peach colored cousins!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Oooh, the Golden Figs ... LOVE those! I may have to re-think this "no ripples" thing

 

[JerseyPearl]

What "no ripples" thing??? So glad I missed that memo, Cathy!

 

[kelluvpearls]

Favourite is day 74, then 76 from the last few pages.

 

[CathyKeshi]

LOL, JerseyPearl, it was just a comment I made, referring to the fact that I didn't own any ripples yet, for some inexplicable reason Fortunately, my friends here are so willing to share their ripple beauties with us!

 

[BAS]

Favourite is day 74, then 76 from the last few pages.

I rarely wear the DAY 76 bronzey ripples from CC but I should wear them more often. They are very metallic and a slightly longer length than I normally wear.

 

[Katbran]

So pretty with the Royal Purple ... I mean Blue....

DAY 79:

I declare this to be Round White Pearls Week. I start with a white CFW pearl rope (75" of the 144" Hisano made for me after Great Gatsby came out).


Here are the 10 strands used to make my 144" rope:



And here is the 75" I wore today:

 

[JerseyPearl]

Beautiful! I bet you could wear them knotted 1000 different ways!

 

[kelluvpearls]

Day 79 for me, is a good example of how to mix and match different pearl shapes - drop earrings with a round rope.

 

[BWeaves]

Drop earrings go with everything.

Drop earrings and round ropes is my all time favorite combination for myself, and that's what I'm wearing today, too. I love yours!

BAS, You mentioned that your rope is 75" of a 144" rope.
Do you have mystery pearls along its length, to alter the length?
What size mm are the pearls?
Are they heavy?
