BWeaves, thank you so much for sharing your photos and journaling on your amazing adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed reading everything!

I can’t wait to see what pearls you brought home, BWeaves!! Monili orchid clasp with an abalone pearl on a blue Tahitian strand from PP. Studs are from Hawaii.

Fantastic trip, BWeaves! Thank you for all the information and photos. I am looking forward to seeing more! :giggle:

Oh yes, project show and tell please, ennui and Syrie!!! Tin cups I wrapped with tiny T’s from Alex Collins, and a necklace and earrings I made with collected Tahitians and Tahitian keshi.

Thank you, Pomelo and Syrie! Douglas, it’s so great to see you. We really missed you this year at PBTB. It’s not a gathering without you.;) I like the way you put that necklace together, Pomelo. It has a cool, edgy vibe.:cool: Large multi-colored baroque Akoya necklace from Takahashi, tiny SS...

Thanks so much, CatMom! Blue Tahitians from Alex Collins-

Looks like you had fun standing out amongst the boring Shani! I have several Fluevogs, too, but mine are mostly the exaggerated rounded or boxy toe. Thank you so much, Pomelo and CatMom! Pomelo, it was more of an opportunity rather than a story, but at the last Ruckus we were treated to an...

Thank you, PearlyLibrarian, CathyKeshi and BWeaves! I do treasure these special little Akoya.:giggle: A vintage strand of Akoya from Fuji at PacificPearls.US, a bracelet from Kojima, two rope lengths of tiny Akoya and Akoya keshi from Hong Kong, and a very special golden SS pearl from the last...

Welcome to the forum, prlgrl! It’s beautiful and a mystery as to the baroque blue Akoya. It’s very unusual to see anything other than round white Akoya in the vintage brooches.

Thanks so much, CatMom! Tin cup necklace and bracelets I wire-wrapped with Akoya from Takahashi. Worn with Tahitian earrings I put together.

Thank you, A Breaker! My phone is old- an iphone 11. It took some experimenting to find the best location in my house. I have big windows in the back of my house. The windows where I take the “outfit” pics are in a stairwell and go up towards the ceiling almost 8’. They face the south which is...

Beautiful strands for your workdays, Syrie! Your mom had quite a collection, BWeaves! How nice to be able to share back and forth with your sister. A bracelet I put together with collected Robert Wan Tahitians from Ehret Designs, and a necklace I put together with collected Tahitians that are...

It’s always so much fun! Hope you can join us next year, BWeaves!

A Breaker, I just use my iphone. I find that the lighting makes the biggest difference. Lots of people have said that overcast days are the best, but I’ve found for me, the best days are when there’s some sun and I can take pics out of the direct sunlight. I find I get the best pearl colors...

Thanks PearlyLibrarian! Your Tahitians look great, and I hope your meeting was a success! Pomelo, your strand was worth the wait. I like the color and shapes!
