Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[SurfnSci]

I agree, what an amazing ombre, @86Corvettegirl , WOWZA! Fantastic luster, too.

@jeg Bestill my heart with your new Takahashis, what an incredible strand!!! Amazing color, luster and fabulous size (no PSS there, haha).

Thank you all for the pearl-inspiration this week! SS keshi from Druzy (with my attempt at an ombre look) and Atlas SS keshi studs from Pearlescence...

Thanks, SurfnSci. Those ombré strands are some of my favorites, together or separately. T's go with so many styles!
I love how your GSS & WSS keshi necklace turned out! Perfect for Summer weather or a minimalist look year round. Looks gorgeous on you.

Thank you, 86C, Charlotta and SurfnSci! 86C, we can have a pearly playdate anytime. Be prepared for your eyes to glaze over before we’re finished going through all the tubs! Sarah (Kojima), was visiting last month and we went through ALL the pearls! I think the only ones I forgot about were some Akoya pieces I was given as a kid. Thank you, SurfnSci! It’s a great strand. I will post more pics in better daylight.

I get together with a group of friends for an annual lunch every August. There are 15 of us, but not everyone can make it every year. This year marked our 25th year of getting together, so the hostess suggested we all wear silver. I kind of fudged and went with the silver color scheme rather than silver metal. Also, it was a little warm to wear too much jewelry because we sit on her big deck in the sun. Wearing a white Tahitian pendant from PP set on a little h bail, a large Tahitian pendant from Kojima, and earrings and keshi scatter chain I made.

SurfnSci, all the delicate tin cup designs you’ve been coming up with are inspirational! I love them all!

Jeg, you scattered keshi necklace is dreamy. I really should get a scattered tin cup. Silvery Tahitians are always a hit. You look lovely & your choices are perfect a hot day!
A pearl playdate sounds divine!

 

[jshepherd]

That's taking silver to another level

 

[jeg]

Haha, thanks 86C and Jeremy! I tried!

Thank you for your kind words, 86C and Jeg!

Wow, @jeg, that was a knockout Tahitian look yesterday; I especially love the Tahitian keshi scatter chain you made! Love your ombre FW and citrine necklace today, as well. So summer-y and pretty with lovely matching earrings, too! I love the duster earring look; how do you manage not to get them tangled in your hair? That's always my problem, haha.

Gorgeous light Summer into Fall look, Jeg!

 

[jeg]

Thank you, SurfnSci and 86C! I’ve made several of those Tahitian keshi scatter chains in different lengths, but for some reason, I tend to wear this one the most. SurfnSci, I’m not sure what keeps my hair out of the dangly earrings. I don’t know why but I don’t seem to get tangled much. At least that I notice. Maybe because I mostly keep my hair behind my shoulders?

Also adding more pics of the new baroque Akoya strand from Takahashi. The multicolored bracelet and natural white baroque Akoya studs are also from Takahashi. I made the tin cup with Akoya from Druzy.

 

[SurfnSci]

@jeg I think I may actually be drooling over these insanely gorgeous pearls!!!!

 

[jeg]

Oh, thank you SurfnSci! I am really happy with the Akoya from Takahashi! I left a few pearls out of the strand in order to make it a little shorter. Not sure if I will use the extras in a project, or just save them in case I want to extend the necklace down the road.

Golden SS Myanmar necklaces I put together with pearls and keshi from Druzy.

Love the Goldens, Jeg. I just love the color mix.

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much, 86C. It really has a beautiful range of colors.

@jeg Your golden SS yesterday were incredibly gorgeous! Especially love the repeating graduations for the keshi - lovely design. Love your blue akoyas today, but your SoC keshi necklace is just amazing - I think it is one of my favorite of the very special pieces that you have! (I was also apparently on the same SoC wavelength today...)

SoC keshi bracelet (pearls from Druzy), J. Hunter bracelet and Kamoka T ring today.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Loving the colors of those SOC Keshia, Jeg & SurfnSci!!!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Had my mammogram appt today.....uggggh. So I wore 2 blue & white Akoya necklaces with one of my PP blue Akoya necklaces for a blue & white Akoya stack along with blue Akoya/ sapphire briolette earrings. Pearls always comfort me when I have to have an uncomfortable procedure.

 

[jshepherd]

Love the stack, and hope the mammogram was uneventful!

It should. The technician said it looked like last year's, no significant changes from what she can see. We'll just wait & see what radiologist says.
