Arapawa Pearls grows cultured mabe pearls from native abalone (Paua), so they have very specific tank technology and Antonia posts very cool videos of the Paua on Instagram and their website :)

Wow, those are fabulous, show-stopping pearls, Syrie!!! Merrily, congrats on your lovely new (and first!) Tahitian strand! Side note, I'm feeling sentimental for Piggly Wiggly now after your comment, haha. I grew up with that chain but there are none in CA. Jeg, I love your new Kasumi goodies...

Thank you for the kind words, Shani and BWeaves! BWeaves, those Tahitians are so lovely and I hope it is an easy repair for your necklace. Sea of Cortez pearls today. Bracelet I wire-wrapped with keshi from Druzy, with ring and earrings from the SoC e-store.

Happy weekend! Late again to posting - yesterday's Kamoka strand.

Wowza, BWeaves, that is an incredible akoya stack with lovely new earrings, too! Your ripples and Kasumis look fabulous today. Jeg, I am loving your fancy colored Ts and the pistachio drops you made. Eolian, the Mini Love strand is just gorgeous!!! Baroque natural color akoyas from Druzy...

Happy weekend, everyone! Love your feather pearls and your nails, BWeaves! Jeg, beautiful pearls and background shots :love: - the overtones on your bracelet are especially lovely! Late to posting yesterday's look - Robert Wan Ts from Pearlescence (with an extender). This was originally a...

So sooo pretty, BWeaves! I'm also loving that clasp! Kasumi necklace I wire-wrapped from Kojima, with baroque akoya earrings made from DruzyDesign.

I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start! I'm so happy to be able to catch up on all these amazing pearl looks over the last few weeks! Lake Biwa pearls from Kojima with vintage akoya studs.

Linda, that is beyond gorgeous, wow wow wow!!! :love:

I would recommend JNBgems on etsy. I have purchased a lot of pearls from them over the years, both individual and strand-length, and the pictures are accurate and I think the prices are fair. I also love CMW. Their prices are fair and the pictures and videos are accurate for everything I have...

So glad you go them and I can't wait to see the final strand! :love:

Gorgeous pearls, everyone, wow! I'm so happy to finally be able to catch up on all the posts this month :) Eolian, so good to see you and your fantastic Love strand! Kamoka strand I've been wearing daily for its autumn-y colors.

Thank you for these amazing pictures, Jeg.

I also recommend Kamoka! And Pearl Paradise - Jeremy wears really fantastic tahitian strands so I'm sure they could do something custom for you. You could also try to make your own! There are great tutorials on here.

Happy weekend! Jeg, WOW, do you have a picture of that fabulous bib-like necklace in action? I love those pretty hibiscus earrings, as well. BWeaves, your re-fashioned necklace is beautiful, especially with the crossover looks and the front clasp. I think you made the perfect choice for two...
