Love your Tahitians, JEG.
I'm going to a memorial for a weaving friend's husband today, so I'm wearing a little black dress and white pearls. Mikimoto earrings. My first akoya pearl rope from 1982. My natural white Hanadama rope from Pearl Paradise. Mixed tin-cup of white South Sea pearls, non-bead nucleated freshwater pearls, and small akoya keshi from Kojima Pearl. Mom's akoya ring.
A word about clasps. My two akoya ropes are very good quality pearls, but I cheaped out on the clasps because I wanted to put my money into the pearls. The older, shorter rope has a gold plated clasp with CZs. The Hanadama rope has a white gold clasp with CZs. They sparkle like diamonds and nobody knows the difference except for me.

OOOOO, new pearl earrings from OceanRhyme. I love my white and golden South Sea and Tahitian double drop earrings from OceanRhyme, so I asked Julia if she could make me some blue baroque akoya and Tahitian double drop earrings in a similar look. The colors are even stronger in real life, and the luster is fantastic.

BWeaves, nothing wrong with CZ jewelry!
Big folk music festival and dance last night. I wore my souffle and tanzanite necklace that I posted last week paired with a new circle Tahitian and tanzanite necklace I just had made. Those pearls came from CMW. The earrings are WSS from Cees that
I had set in the Pearl Paradise blossom setting.

Visiting Dad today wearing my new mismatched BBA and Tahitian earrings from OceanRhyme. Two tin-cup Tahitian necklaces from Kojima Pearl.

I'm a huge fan of mismatched earrings, these look fantastic!
I like the shapes of the pearls on your new earrings, BWeaves.
A vintage jade fish with Kasumi pearl pendant from Kojima, worn on a chain I wrapped with tiny Akoya keshi from Takahashi. The keshi and tourmaline earrings are from Kojima and Sarah found the Akoya strand from a vendor in Tucson. I was going to make two bracelets with the Akoya strand, but I only had one clasp, so I made it into a choker length that I can also wrap around my wrist.

JEG: I love everything. Love the new jade fish pendant, too.
Trying out my new blue baroque akoya and Tahitian mismatched earrings (OceanRhyme) with various pearl necklaces. Today it's the Coral Atoll circled Tahitian necklace (Kamoka pearl farm). Handwoven linen towel. Wearing these pearls with jeans and a purple T-shirt.

Vintage 1990s pearls. Mom's Rice Krispie freshwater pearls. The dragon's clasp is behind its head and not in its mouth. Akoya earrings with ruby hearts were a gift to me from my Mom decades ago. Good luster holds up!
Thanks, BWeaves!
BWeaves and Pearl Dreams, your pearls remind me to dig through my stash and pull out some oldies. I often forget about some of my favorite old pieces.
A strand of baroque blue Akoya from Takahashi, tiny SS studs from a PP/Takahashi live event, and an Akoya tin cup and jackets I wrapped with loose pearls from Takahashi.
