Thanks @Amoreperla @BWeaves @jeg for your kind words. Indeed, these were a real battle as earrings before and I’m getting more wear out of them (especially the T) as rings. @PearlyLibrarian thanks for noticing the jadeite peapod! We are expecting our third baby this fall, so I wanted to get a...

And here are photos of the two together! Tahitian is 16.7, South Sea is 16.5mm. The shanks are different widths, and I find the wider width of the Tahitian ring more comfortable as the heavy pearl itself doesn’t move around as much with greater shank support. Set in 925 sterling, rhodium and...

I reset my mismatched monster studs into rings… they were just too heavy for me to enjoy wearing them, and they would droop instead of sitting upright. So… here is the Tahitian! The finger coverage at 16mm+ is great :D

Been wearing my 13mm grey/silver Tahitian studs a lot recently. I really like the volume they provide, and the colour makes them feel less formal. They aren’t light though, and my ears are a bit tired at the end of the day so they are removed when I get home. Sporting pearls and a baby bump...

I love the mix of sizes, shapes and colours on your strand @jeg !

Love your keshi earrings!! I’m so tempted to get a mismatched one now haha And your Bliss rope is so beautiful, testament to the amount of work you’ve put into it over the years!

Thank you! I also love mismatched pairs, I think it’d be fun to collect pearls in this size range (a good balance of size and weight for me) in various colours! I’d love a vivid peacock. - - - Also posting a bracelet that I finally got round to stringing (got it strung at the pearl market in...

I finally got round to setting my silver/grey Tahitians! They’re 13.1 and 13.3mm, and not a great colour match but I figured that the difference wouldn’t be too noticeable with a face separating the two :p Both pearls are from CMW.

Came to post about my 9mm+ baroque blue akoya bracelet. I’m always caught by surprise and fascinated at how the colours of highly saturated pearls change depending on the light. Today, my wrist felt like a mermaid! Also wanted to capture the iridescence on my MOP watch face. These things...

Thanks for your thoughts! I haven’t really gone down the GSS rabbit hole because I tend to think of GSS as a substitute for 18k yellow gold (which I have enough of!) but the champagnes are a different colour category. I think I’m enabling myself here haha.

Thank you Jeremy! Another forum member once used this description and I’ve stolen it for eternity :) I was specifically looking for pearls that weren’t circled nor drop-shaped (and also had decent luster!), so it took a while to find this strand. Whilst some of the individual pearls can be...

These are stunning on you! Love the light champagne colour, I think it’s so flattering and provides a beautiful warm glow. Out of interest, do you also own white-white pearl studs or pinked white studs? How do find them compared to these?

I don’t usually have fully matching sets of jewellery, but this combination of silver Tahitian keshi earrings and Tahitian baroque “boulder”-shaped silvery-blue strand made me feel quite “pulled together”!

Very pretty! Have you considered getting them converted into stud earrings? That may increase the frequency of wear :) I have a few clip-on earrings from the 50-80s (estimated age!) that I had my jeweller attach ear posts to. It made them much more wearable and I don’t need to worry so much...

Love this piece of wisdom! Yes you’re right - and I think “feel better” is just the way to put it, because it’s not necessarily about the aesthetics but the feel/comfort/intangible side too
