Besides the Traveling Pearl, I pretty much only take studs on vacation with me. Traveling Pearl and grey Tahitian studs from PP. Two Akoya studs from Takahashi. Two Tahitian studs from Kojima.

Jeremy, it’s true and soooo sad.:cry: Thanks so much, ennui, Syrie and Cathy! I think my guide was amused that I was more enamored taking pics of the beautiful outfits instead of the historic buildings.:LOL: Steve, I didn’t see the cable cars around Ha Long Bay. We only went there to cruise...

A map of the pearl farms along Ha Long Bay And the showroom was huge. I snapped these pics when I first entered, then saw all the signs for no photography, so I did not try to take any pics of the display cases. There was a lot to see. Nothing that struck me as gorgeously outstanding, but the...

There were several women at tables lined up to demonstrate the pearl extracting process and grafting.

Thank you, Linda! I was devastated. It was like losing a pet.:cry: I have some sister bunnies and will be preparing one of them for future travels. One of the stops we made was at Legend Pearl in Ha Long Bay. There were three very large facilities/showrooms right in a row in Ha Long Bay. I...

Even pearl buttons and dangling from the hair-

I am back from my travels through Vietnam! Going through the many pics I took and pulled a few out for this morning. These are from a visit to the Citadel in Hue. It’s quite popular to dress for the occasion and walk around the grounds taking photos. I immediately noticed how the women favored...

I can’t even begin to tell you how much it pains me to post the first few pics… I have two more days left in my travels through Vietnam and Bunny and the Traveling Pearl were lost a few weeks ago. I am heartbroken. Bunny always wore the original Traveling Pearl. Here I am with Traveling Pearl...

Aww, thanks, 86C and eolian! Eolian, I am so happy to see you and your pearls back in action! I am so sorry about life’s challenges and hope you are staying strong. Wow, I absolutely love what you have done with your Bliss rope. It looks fabulous! I hope you have more time to come out and play...

Thanks so much, 86C! Akoya rope from Takahashi, white and golden Akoya necklace from Cees, and MOP earrings from Hawaii.

Thanks so much, Shani! BWeaves, I love the mix of colors in that strand! They absolutely go together, PearlyLibrarian! I prefer a blend rather than an exact match. All Japan Kasumi pearls from Kojima-

Beautiful purples, BWeaves! Syrie, it’s fun to window shop in Hawaii. Lots of pearls everywhere. I also love looking at jewelry created by local artists with the island/beachy vibe. Congratulations on your first wire wrapping project Shani! It’ll give you lots of options for designing your...

Thanks! I do love the way they turned out.

Thanks everyone! Bubbles it is. It will be easier for me to take the strand apart if I change my mind as opposed to taking apart a tin cup. I did a little rearranging because I wanted to wear the necklace both front and back. Pomelo, it’s hard to compare because there can be such a difference...

Thanks so much, CatMom! Dark Tahitians always remind me of Hawaii, where they seem to have a preference for wearing dark Tahitians. And ouch! I hope your bruise is the worst of it and you didn’t have anything severe happen to your hand. Your beautiful bracelets definitely draw all the attention...
