Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[BWeaves]

One of the birds on my Tahitian bird ring fell off. One of the birds had fallen off the SS bird ring, too, a couple weeks ago. I think the posts are just a bit too small for the drill holes.

I used a bit too much 2 part jeweler's epoxy on this ring, but the pearl felt loose on the post, and I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to fall off again. I am going to try to watch out on the remaining two pearl birds, as I have a feeling that I'm going to need to reattach them eventually, too.

Broke my foot. Sold my floor loom. I'm having a **** of a week. I'm trying to remember which pearls I wore, because I did wear pearls through all of it.

Ereyesterday (the day before yesterday). Dyed pearls. Necklace of dyed akoyas with vintage clasp. A gold "hanger" to add a pendant. Pendant of dyed freshwater pearls and a jade fish. Mismatched earrings of jade "windows" with dyed freshwater pearls. All from Kojima Pearl.

Just coming on to say many best wishes for a very speedy recovery on your broken foot. I broke mine last year, and it was a long and very painful healing process. I was two weeks in a plaster cast and then 12 weeks in a "walking" boot that I wasnt allowed to walk in until week 6. The best investment I made was a knee scooter. I was able to keep a scheduled trip to Japan (knee scooter in tow) which fascinated people there...they kept asking me where the battery was. Apparently knee scooters aren't a thing there. I can tell you absolutely listen to what your orthopedic/podiatric specialist tells you to do. I was able to avoid surgery which was fabulous. I hope you heal quickly and completely!!

I did reach out to the vendor who made the bird rings. I told her that I had no problem reattaching the pearls since I'd done it before. But that she might want to be careful if she uses those settings again. She was very grateful. I love these goofy bird rings. They're so impractical, but so much fun to look at.

Yes, my knee scooter is getting all sorts of jealous looks from old ladies and little kids when I scoot around big stores. My boot is itching me though. I've tried to line it with linen handkerchiefs today. Socks didn't quite stop the itch factor.

I'm fully Kamoka chested today. Mostly Tahitian pearls. There is one blue baroque akoya in the mismatched earrings. Earrings by OceanRhyme. Berna Planet pendant and 2019 All Josh Harvest necklace from Kamoka Pearl farm. T-shirt is kinda obvious where I got it from if you watch the video (Kamoka).

Do be careful lining the boot with anything. Even small folds can cause pressure sores.

I like the unexpected gold pendant cord with the silvery Tahitians (I think most would instinctively select black or silver/gray for that cord). And the whimsy of (i) adding the single blue akoya in the mix and (ii) the tiny white pearl bubble in the pendant.

 

[BWeaves]

These are the pearl and tourmaline earrings I ordered from OceanRhyme for PT (pearl therapy). They are very pretty, and I really like them, but I cannot work the post and the ear nuts. She even sent 3 different types of ear nuts. I but need to stick with hooks, I think.

I love mixing white and yellow and rose metals.

I am not crazy about the setting, but the pearl was so pretty I had to get this ring. Very good luster/reflection for a freshwater and I love the color. Seller said it’s a freshwater keshi but how is it so round if so? Also, i am not wearing the pearl strands YET but they will make such a pretty necklace. All from Miaran Pearls.

Those earrings are stunning! And I'm sorry it sounds like they aren't going to work out.

 

[BWeaves]

Minty Fresh, I agree. That pearl ring is not a keshi being that large and round.

Natural colored ripple pearls. The earrings are real Kasumi pearls from the only freshwater pearl farm in Japan on Lake Kasumi-Ga. It is run by a single pearl farmer. Earrings from Kojima Pearl. Necklace of Chinese freshwater ripple pearls from Pacific Pearls.

I like the way the texture and pattern in your blouse mirrors the textures in the pearls. The pearls themselves are beautiful pastels, like a Monet painting.

I’m very excited to share my latest necklace: baroque WSS strand from Cees. I wore these to the office for a client meeting today. These pearls are ENORMOUS, true rocks. This is actually one of 2 that can be put together using a harpoon clasp, which I asked for, or worn separately.Together the 2 strands measure about 45”, something like that. I hope you like them.

Wow! Those are true Wilma Flintstone size! You wear them beautifully.

That strand is one of the nicest I have seen as CFWP.

I haven't put this combination together before. I was surprised how good they looked together. They looked great with my unbleached linen blouse, which is a greyish tan color. They're photographed on 1/2 bleached linen, which is more of a cream color.

Natural color, green akoya pearls with oxidized silver chain from Kojima. These pearls never went through the bleaching and pinking processes. Carved Tahitian pendant and mismatched studs from Kamoka. I usually dislike oxidized metal, but this necklace really called to me. It's edgier than I normally wear.

Stylish! I can’t help but think - wear with leather (or pleather if that’s your thing). Or Dupioni silk with its refined but rough textures.

 

[BWeaves]

I'm in Florida, so wearing leather is out of the question. Too hot, and it will stain when rained on. Dupioni silk would look amazing in the winter, but it's hard to find here. It's hot right now, so linen it is, until it's wool and cashmere season.

Freshwater pearls and jade and gemstones. All from Kojima Pearl. I'm getting braver about mixing blue and white pearls together. The jade really pulls it all together. Some of the pearls are dyed silver blue, but they look green next to the jade and other gemstones, and I like it. The purple linen also makes the pearls look greener.

Enjoy wearing your new ring, Mintyfresh! The pearl is a lovely color.

All great combinations, BWeaves. Disappointing the earrings didn’t work out, as they look so pretty. I’m surprised hooks are easier for you than posts.

I spent several days on the Oregon Coast. I only brought my Traveling Pearl and two pairs of studs. This pair of baroque blue Akoya studs from Takahashi goes on every trip because they are easy to wear and blend with everything.

JEG: Blues go with everything, don't they?

It's actually not the posts themselves I have a problem with. It's getting the separate earnut on the post. With a hook, I can put in on one handed and it doesn't need a separate earnut, although I do try to put on a silicon stopper. I can do some lever backs, but not others. I have an easier time with the posts on studs than the posts on dangles. Sometimes I don't know if an earring or clasp will work until my hands fumble with it.

Pearls for hiking and beach-combing! I love the sunset photo.
