Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Pomelo]

I don’t think I’ve shown these before: my pearl shoulder dusters. They’re 12cm long and made from pearls that were removed when I needed to shorten bracelets / necklaces.

I like asymmetry and feel like it’s worked out well in this scenario, as the Tahitians are smaller than the blue akoya, so somehow 7x T vs 5x BA seem to balance out.

These were made with 925 silver and they’re light on my ears - really comfortable to wear! And I don’t feel like they’re too exaggerated for daytime either (but maybe that’s just me haha).

The pendant parts are also detachable in case I want to jazz up some other studs. I haven’t had a chance to play around with them yet, will report back when I do!

(Blue akoya from Flower Jem, Tahitians from CMW)

Pomelo: WOWZA, those earrings are great! Versatile, BBA's and Tahitians, and asymmetrical. All my favorite things.

May Day! May Day! Green gemstones look great with pearls, be they emeralds, jade, or tourmalines. little h earrings by Hisano Shepherd of Pearl Paradise are souffle' pearls stuffed with reclaimed emeralds and tiny, tiny keshi. Necklaces of freshwater pearls, yellow gold, jade, emeralds, sapphires, and one yellow tourmaline, by Kojima Pearl. I call the shorter necklace of freshwater keshi and gold beads "Betty Davis' Teeth" because I had just watched a movie with Betty Davis in it, and her teeth looked just like this. But I cannot for the life of me remember WHICH movie it was.

love love love this! I have something similar from Chefanie and am excited to wear them on Mother’s Day.

This Tiffany necklace is similar, only difference is the shape of the tag. The closure is in the front so I just attached pearls and added a jump ring at the end. Super easy

I found this elephant at a street faire today. She's about 3 1/2", Tahitian shell, and I believe her eye is a Tahitian pearl. I have no idea what to do with her, but she was only $4. Did I pay too much? (No, I did not.)

This would make a beautiful brooch

How did you do this????

I added the strand to my ponytail with a Bobby pin and twisted the hair up. Saw a video either on fb or YT shorts.
