Sunday night dinner with some of our friends
Such a fun day, as always, full of friends and pearl sharing. Many thanks to Sarah and the Kojima team for all the planning and preparation that goes into making this such a special event. I hope you’ll join us next year!

I would have had my eyes constantly fixed on the pearls and not know the faces of anyone there 
What a picture treat!

Thanks Merrily! It was so nice to meet you IRL! Here’s a pic of the pearls I wore Monday, with the new choker I bought. Can’t remember which earrings I was wearing… a necklace I wire-wrapped with colorful Akoya from Takahashi, a Japan Kasumi pendant from Kojima, on a chain I wrapped with tiny Akoya keshi from Takahashi.
I was also wearing a second tin cup. This is the most recent one I wire-wrapped
And a pic Sarah took at the studio with my new gemstone and pearl choker I bought.

You are too kind, Merrily.
I’m just happy when I can capture everyone with their eyes open!
I don’t have any recommendations for tutorials, but when I wanted to learn how to wire-wrap, I watched a few people on YouTube, then bought some craft wire to practice. I eventually came up with a technique that worked for me. My practice necklace was a long tin cup connecting faux pearls and a variety of beads. I just kept going in order to practice.
