Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

I'm expecting it to be quite different from my pearl farm trip. But I'm excited for it to be different.

BWeaves, I loved it there because I loved the beaches up north.

I was so fortunate to be able to spend some time with Mr. Seki at the Takahashi office while I was in Kobe. This is just a start of my purchases
A platinum ring set with baroque blue Akoya.

Mr. Seki also set aside a couple of their gold posts for me and kindly glued two sets of pearls I had purchased while on my pearl farm trip in November. A pair of faceted FW pearls from Komatsu Cutting factory, and a pair of seed pearl, pearls from The House of Keshi.

Wow JEG, those are so unusual. Gorgeous.

Which earrings to wear with my new Kojima necklace of dyed freshwater pearls and gemstone beads? Mismatched blue baroque akoya and Tahitian drops from OceanRhyme? Various dyed freshwater drops from Kojima? Or mismatched Tahitian drops from Kamoka in the center? All the earrings look good with it, but I think I'm going with the Kamokas today.

This necklace is so easy to wear. No clasp. Just over the head and done. And the gemstones really glow when the sun hits them. It's hard to photograph the pearls in shade to make the pearls look good and photograph the gemstones in sunlight so they look good.

I aspire to one day be like you and have so many choice of pearls. I like the pearl earrings in the center to go with the necklace

Thanks! The addiction to pearls grows. I really like the Kamoka Tahitians, too. That mismatched pair goes with everything.

Yay, I was able to watch the PP Live stream since it was early morning here and I didn’t need to rush off for anything. I also just happened to bring one of my Baggins hoops with me to Japan. I love these, and have them in both yellow gold and rose gold. I can understand why they are a popular piece in their collection.

Yesterday we were in a very touristy area packed with people. There were lots of delicious snack vendors but I just couldn’t eat everything, so I followed this couple to ask if I could take a picture of their cute treat. These are traditional manju made into adorable character designs. And look at the nails on this girl. I don’t know how you function with such things.

We are staying within steps of the flagship store… I won’t make a stop inside this time, though…

Some of those earrings on the PP live were so beautiful, I wish I was a millionaire. I couldn't resist going into Mikimoto in Tokyo when I was there last July. Again, I was wishing I was a millionaire then, too! Glad you're having a great time.

Yes, so many beautiful things!

I didn’t bring a lot of things with me since it is still on the cool side and I spend most of the time covered up. Wearing my newly set studs with faceted pearls from Komatsu Cutting Factory, and a necklace and bracelet I wrapped with tiny keshi.
