Welcome to the forum Shani! Customs release is always random for me. Sometimes it sails through a customs facilities, and other facilities hold it up for more scrutiny. Looking forward to seeing your selection! I usually post my purchases in the ”Show Us Your Pearls in Action” thread with other...

Thanks so much for sharing your shopping and treasures, LorenLL! Enjoy wearing those new pearls! Woah, SteveM. What a find, if only to gaze at in pics.

Metallic FW strand from Kojima, studs from little h (FW stuffed with rubies). I made the tourmaline jackets.

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!

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.

Thanks so much, CatMom!:giggle: Tahitian tin cup and earrings I put together-

Really enjoying glimpses from your trip, Jeremy. Looking forward to more!!

Thanks so much Douglas and pearlgirl12! The rope from PP is from one of their earlier collections a long time ago. I don’t remember anyone else carrying the blue Akoya back then. I’m sure the farmers were thrilled when the color took off. The mixed Kojima tin cup is from my first Ruckus. The...

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!
