No one will ever get tired of this thread, I’m agog at your pretties! Thank you for posting your goodies! Did you knot, or use bumpers?

This is beautiful. Which earrings did you pick?

Thank you, SydK. I don’t feel so clever, so thank you! The portrait subject has such a demure but flirtatious expression it spurred a whole bunch of memories. I’ve been a voracious escapist reader since I first learned how, and Jane Eyre, and The Little Women were my Mother’s childhood books...

Oh my, what glories! and You all look marvelous.

I’m speculating that the high choker is suspended (by braids, braided ribbon, and other decorative elements) from perhaps a wig, or an elaborate hair arrangement including little poufs or ‘mice’. I think anyone who could afford pearls like that would also have a maid to dress her hair or wigs...

Oh yes, Camhatch, we may be quiet but we’re here, circling, eyeballing, hungry, longing for pearls, and more pearls.....

Whoa! Those are blueberries!

I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better. Wow, these sure were worth the wait! Absolutely!

All beautiful, but you really scored with the blues from pearlescence!

Starry, would it be possible to show us a photo of the pearl and the damaged area?

Wonderful treasures, how delightful!

jeg, how is that monili clasp in action? I’ve often wondered how it feels, how it sits?

Beautiful, everything! What size are the green akoya? Love the colorful circled Tahitians, delightful.

I think phone-to-phone imaging is getting better, but I’ve noticed that some colors which folks describe on PG, particularly the pistachios, look different than I expect. Also, my ph camera will adjust for low-light vs window daylight. That leads to What the??? moments, warmer tone vs...

Jeg’s Closet, yaaaaay! And her pearl drawers! and Pareltje, I think your pearl photos are waaaaay! who have I missed? I love this thread.

Rianne, you look lovely!

Since you got a good shot of the earrings & charm with the necklace, why not send that photo to the vendor(s) as you shop? I guess I’m presuming that that’s what color and intensity you’re shooting for?

May I?

What’s your secret, how do you keep the necklace stationary as you move about? You’ve got it positioned just so, that’s why I’m asking.

Yeah, we know, we know, Pearlie Sue (sympathetic pats), but I have to say I can’t wait to see your Tahitians!
