Here’s an example of some FW pearls I own all from Pearl Paradise. The strand is a Freshadama. Very round to the eye. The studs are metallic FW, and the pendant is a bead nucleated Edison, very round. They are all pink, but will give you an idea.

Welcome to the forum, Alipearl! Freshadama is a term specific to Pearl Paradise. The pearls that are considered Freshadama by Pearl Paradise will be of a high quality. The quality of “Edison“ pearls will span a bigger range. Both can be equally beautiful when considering the higher quality...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am thankful for the pearling community:giggle: Metallic FW pearls from Kojima, Japan Kasumi earrings from Kojima, and a tiny tin cup I put together.

Tiny Akoya Takahashi dangles from PP live event, a golden SS pendant from Hawaii, and a tin cup I put together with vintage Akoya from Pacific Pearls(US)/Kojima.

Wow, the lavender jade is so beautiful and a fantastic find!

I was going to ask if you really wanted to use those? They were used a lot in the 70’s to finish pearl strands. You could just disregard them and finish the strand with gimp and back-knotting.

What a great trip! Thanks for posting that, Jeremy.

The short tin cup is made with tiny T’s from Alex Collins. The necklace and earrings were put together with random T’s and Tahitian keshi.

I hope GemGeek sees this, but I haven’t seen her post in quite a while. In the meantime, if I remember correctly, this is an Eyris pearl from New Zealand.

Your new strand is beautiful, Pomelo! They look fantastic on you! A blue Akoya rope from PP, a blue Akoya strand and studs from Takahashi, and jackets I made with loose Akoya from Takahashi. (the blue drops in the jackets were from one of the PP/Takahashi live events)

Congratulations, Elinawood! Enjoy wearing your beautiful new pearls and please post pics when you do!

Thanks so much, Pomelo! Traveling Pearls on vacation. Aloha!

Thanks so much, Douglas and Pella!!:giggle:

Golden SS keshi strand and a custom SS keshi dangle necklace, both from Takahashi.

What a lot of work, Purr! But you created such a pretty ring!

I don’t pamper my pearls at all. Your smooth jade should be perfectly fine and they create a pretty combo. Have fun with your stacks/layers!:)

Thanks so much, lary007, Douglas, Katbran and MMtwo for the kind compliments!:giggle: Lary007, your costume is fantastic and the pearls fit for a queen! All from Kojima- Seashell and Tahitian earrings, a necklace of MOP beads, vintage gold turtle beads and a single T, and a Tahitian and keshi...
