@Pomelo, I really love your mix tahitians and the silver strand! Some more of my "looks". I say wear pearls whenever!

Thank you :) I have fun with them!

It's unfortunate that the pic wasn't super clear but I went to a Space Ops Conference for a week with the most conservative = boring looking folks and yes, I wore Fluevogs (Canadian Shoe designer) and pearls the whole time :) Sorry if the pic quality isn't good. I was actually there presenting...

Love everything!

OMG Jeg! That first strand of giant Kasumis was ..... I don't have words. Thanks for the pics!

Utterly gorgeous.

I have bought several pieces from ETSY sellers. What I have found is that yes, the pearl that I fell in love with does NOT look the same as on the seller's photos BECAUSE yes, they use the bRIghTesT photo lighting possible. That being said, I have learned to look for photos taken under different...

I would say they are ruined. It looks like someone beat the bejesus out of them. They obviously got exposed to something they didn't like. Sorry.

Obviously you do not have cats....

That is a great idea. I just usually drop what I am going to wear the night before in a clam shell in the washroom lol! I like your idea much better!

Haha! I have to agree with you, there have been times where i look "bum-ish" and am wearing over 20k worth of jewelry. Fortunately, people would look at me and think that it's all fake so I be relatively safe. I don't wear such things in risky areas of course.

Daaayum!! Girl! LOL! At present, I have one jewelry box dedicated to my pearls, you know, with the little separator compartments. Most have their own "compartment". Fortunately, I don't have as large a collection as you. My method allows me to see the entirety of my collection when I open the...

Those are so pretty and lustrous. The second photo looks kind of like finger smudge on the lense though.
