@BWeaves I’m curious to know what the main changes of the course are and if it’s worth taking it over again for the new material I haven’t posted in a while, but there is always at least one pearl on my person each day! My son had a little preschool graduation program the other day, and I wore...

Oh my goodness that is a special strand! Wow!

My caliper came in, so I can confirm the strand is 7mm! 16 inches.

Anniversary pearls part deux: present day. For our dinner out (the first one in over a year!) I brought out the goldens. My pearly ambitions are currently a bit beyond my tax bracket, which is why I appreciate that Misha mixes baroque south sea goldens with “Demi-fine” gold fill jewelry for...

Thank you! I actually have no idea 🤣. I have never measured them. I recently ordered a caliper though, so I’ll have to fine out …

It’s my 10th wedding anniversary today, so please indulge me with a look back at my wedding pearls. The strand necklace was my “something new” - a wedding gift from my husband, given that day. The studs were my “something old” - earrings given to me by my grandmother many years prior. The...

That is a perfect necklace. Beautiful.

@jeg I LOVE that new bubbly strand! @BWeaves Your claim on day 2 of the PP/takahashi event is my “one that got away!” The BBA long charm-style necklace! It’s so gorgeous and is going to be so fun to wear!! I was waiting for it and hesitated just a few seconds too long. Sigh …. This little...

My favorite Black Friday tradition is a long walk while listening to a podcast. To kick off the Christmas season, I brought my “Christmas” ring. From TeHotu Mana, the pearls are vivid pistachio green and a cherry undertone (although I couldn’t quite get this captured in the picture). They look...
