WOW!!!! What a stunner!!! Cees is active on Facebook. Please PM me and I'll send you the details.

WOW! I am in love with your Tahitian and SS ombre necklaces! Regal! please show the ring too!

Will do a little later, BW. The principle is pretty easy and rather genius: male-female-male 3 pearls system.

THANK YOU, Ladies, for your kind words! I couldn't be happier to hear the compliments from such seasoned connoisseurs as you are!

Thank you, Marianne! I know, right?! The good thing though I am always diligent in editing my collections (whatever I am collecting at the moment).

thank you, Sheri :)

Thank you Katbran! My pictures didn't really capture the true colors of those ombre babies. They are very very lustrous and golden in person.

Thank you, Pattye! I am getting another batch of ombre baby Akoyas from Cees, we just made them in three strands. I plan to clip them aaaaall together! Here is a pic from Cees. I will show the whole thing once it gets here. Yeah, having a sister close by is a blessing! Can't imagine my life...

thank you, 86CG! I just edited the post, so hopefully, the pictures are visible again. I can't figure out why they disappear, it happened a few times already. Golden Akoyas are wonderful, especially with warmer skin tones. My taste is evolving and I appreciate colorful (non-white) Akoyas more...

Thank you, PD! Remember, it was you who helped to pick the pearls out :D So, thanks to YOU I have them today!

I think this is it for tonight. I do own some serious WSS pearls but I lent them to my Mom, as they are very grown-up and she likes them a lot :D Taking these photos and looking through my Excel file also helped me to narrow down what I would like to add next (blue baroque Akoya rope! Hanadama...

I hope you are not tired of me yet tonight. My last post is about my GSS pearls. Here they are... My first ever loose GSS from Cees made into a pendant with enhancer and yet another pair of haggies with removable enhancers. Pearls are 12.5-13mm and the pendant is 15.8mm. 18K YG. Jeweler - my...

Speaking of Kasumi pearls... These two are waiting for me at Sarah's... Now... what would I do with them... possibilities... :o And my last Kasumi piece - my first ever loose and first ever Kasumi pearls: 5 pearls bought from seasidecottage on eBay and converted into a tin cup necklace by my...

I have some more Tahitians, but they are either loose or not here yet, so I will entertain you with other pearls I have. Here comes my minuscule collection of CFW. I only have 2 items. 2mm off-round white CFW plus white/rose overtone 16.4mm Edison pendant from Kojima Here is Sarah's glamour...

Thank you, Linda and BW! :) Not tired yet? I hope not! As I have some more pix coming up!

Here are some more of my Tahitians. 11.2mm blue-green T from Kojima set in Pearl Paradise's 14K YG huggies. Yes, huggies/loops/horseshoe earrings are my favorite types as they are secure/not super flashy and allow to add (or remove enhancers). So here they are! I LOVE them! Adding a necklace...

Next went golden Akoyas. I do not have much right now, though this part of my Akoya's family is expanding. 18", 19", and 20" ombre strands of 2.5-3mm baby Akoyas with harpoon clasp systems. First is an image from Cees, where the ombre effect is most prominent. And these are my own. And...

Continuing with Akoya. Blue Akoya This strand was my very first non-white Akoya and I suspected it was dyed. It was indeed, but I bought it cheap, really liked the length/color and even luster, so I kept it. It is in desperate need of restringing, and I intend to learn how to do it, using this...

Changing into Akoya! My beloved Miki strands. Starting with my very first pearls ever - vintage graduated Miki strand with silver clasp. Pearls range from 3 to 8mm. The strand is 20" long. Adding another Miki strand - 6-6.5mm straight, vintage, 24" long. 14K YG clasp And finishing up with...

My sister came to visit this weekend and we had some girly fun - manicure/pedicure, kitchen faucet changing, AND trying on and taking pictures of my pearls. Truth to be told kitchen faucet changing was not much fun and we ended up asking for guy's help and with pearls, my sis tried them on and I...
