Ooooo, I'm out of town for a few days at a weaving conference and come back to all your gorgeous pearls!

OOOOOO, love the multi designed 3 strand necklace!

Any chance of streaming or recording the talks? I've love to see everyone, even if it's over Zoom or You Tube or Facebook Live, or whatever.

Yes. Nice!

Last photo. Definitely dyed freshwaters, sorry.

If they're dyed, the original color was not good to start with. You cannot remove the dye. To me, they looked like dyed freshwater pearls from China because of the egg and potato shapes of the pearls, and the colors were not colors that are natural to Tahitian pearls. The local jeweler may...

My first Tahitian strand which I bought from Kojima. I was swayed by the white gold and sapphire clasp. I'm a sucker for a good clasp. I need to take it to a jeweler and replace one of the sapphires that fell out. A small synthetic sapphire should do the trick. I just have to go do it...

They look like dyed Chinese freshwater pearls, not Tahitians. Sorry.

PERFECT triple strand. I love it.

PearlyLibrarian, you've put me in a light green mood. Pistachio Tahitian studs from Kojima. Pistachio and blue baroque akoyas from PP. Both strands look like soap bubbles in real life. I love how they nest. The blue strand is 17" and the pistachio is 18" long. There were a couple blue...

Ahem, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands, I mean eyes, off it, either. Grandson has good taste!

Gorgeous Tahitians. Good choices. You were right to jump on those right away.

OOOO, I like those. Good catch!!!

I think brown may not be the best color to wear with pink pearls, but they look better in real life than in the photos. Freshwater tin-cup and matching earrings from Kojima. Sarah made this necklace for me when then necklace I wanted to buy got bought by someone else because I dithered too...

I agree with Pattye.

I agree, freshwater pearls from China.

They don't match, but they go!!!

OOOO, I love everything everyone has posted. Jeans and a T-shirt today. Bali earrings and Coral Atoll necklace, both from Kamoka. I find I reach for these pieces when I want to throw something on quickly. The necklace pearls are actually from Kamoka's sister pearl farm that produces more...

OMG, they do look like jumping dolphins when the photos are blown up big like that. Now that you mention it, that right pearl looks a lot like my Sharkey carved pearl from Kamoka.

Sure. Here's the backside of The Swan, without and with the gold knit choker. The backside has a crease going down the middle. The pearl is in a pressure setting, so if I decide to reset it, there are no drill holes or glue on it. The markings are the Okidanokh hallmark, PD palladium...
