I did want to post these as well. They show the lustre from my recent Kojima earrings. Amazing.

Thanks jeg, I am a huge fan of your collection and think we are both massive Kojima fans!

Hi Charlotta, thank you, and I’m sorry you had a bad year. The mismatched earrings you mentioned were made for me by Kathryn at Imogene, here in Melbourne. Yes, the golds are large keshi with a silky lustre. The style is like that probably because I have so much of Sarah’s work and have loved...

Here is the Rolay (Etsy) pendant that blows my mind. It’s massive, and looks like an Easter Egg. I looked at Rolay based on another PG member posting a couple of weeks ago. How fabulous, what a find - thank you! This Tahitian is 16.8 mm in diameter and 19.5 mm length. The lustre is truly mirror...

And we are not done yet. I ate a lot of feelings this year and bought a lot of pearls! These show Necklace #11 in the first two photos (another recent from Kojima that several of you might recognise) and the third photo is one from OceanRhyme that is lovely but I haven’t actually worn yet (!)...

Here is the next batch of photos. I’m going to try to take better ones with my husband’s phone on the weekend. The first necklace (#8) from this series of posts is another from Imogene in Melbourne (Clifton Hill). It’s a Tahitian mix with mostly keshi. In the second photo it’s with Necklace #1...

Thanks Katbran, that’s very kind. I hope you’re well and have been safe through the fires.

Here we have necklaces #5, 6 and 7. Each has two photos, in turn. Necklace #5 is another recent Kojima purchase - the nautical stripes one. Again, lustre is gorgeous. This is a mix of white South Seas, blue Akoya and I think white CFPs. Necklace #6 is another Kojima from a little longer ago. To...

Necklaces #3 and #4 are shown in the first two photos. Those of you who stalk Kojima’s website might recognise them - these were recent Christmas purchases. The purples and goldens in #3 don’t photograph all that well but in life they are extraordinarily lovely. Necklace #4 is in all the photos...

I’ll introduce the necklaces next. There have been some absolute stars this year. Mostly I’ve been spending in the last few months of what was a truly awful year. But the pearls give me pleasure. Necklace #1 is a mixed Tahitian strand from Imogene. I think the largest pearls would around 14mm...

Hello everyone, and happy new year! I have been reading for the past while but not posting. I have also been buying more pearls, so this is an update. First off are the earrings - most from Kojima and Julia from OceanRhyme (on Etsy), one pair from Imogene here in Melbourne (the assymetrical...

Very nice! Our lovely Margaret from SimplyAdorned4U made this beauty for me. I don't have neck shots yet, these are Margaret's photos. In case it looks like I've uploaded duplicates - Margaret has taken these so that there's a focus on each section, it's great.

I love these! Perfect colours and perfect size!

Thank you everyone. Yes Kojima is dangerous! Etsy is dangerous! There are some fantastic pearl sellers. Here are some more photos. I've tried to show my jackets, so some half face photos. Jackets are my other thing. I think I mentioned that....

I've also suddenly seen that I like studs. i bought these from TreasureTideJewelry on Etsy a little while ago and I think they are fabulous. They are somewhere between 8 and 9 mm, and are truly the colours you see here - a teal purple. They are ridiculously lustrous and were about a third of the...

I use the little rubber back things and that gives me peace of mind.

Thank you for your comments everyone. Here are some photos of the earrings in action. Well, bathroom photos. This is the best light would you believe! I need to go back to the Christmas holiday place :) Sorry for the giant photos. I crop them to take my face out (which thankfully means they're...

Thanks pattye, I do often wear earrings only, at least I do when it's these long statement earrings. I've bought several lovely pendants (stones from Oregon!) that I can wear with the earrings. I do find that I don't like earrings and most pearl necklaces together on me, it feels busy. I do also...

Ha, yes, I am indeed. I think one of those Fionas isn't me but the rest are, plus some more. Cathy is great :)

You can get a better sense of the fireball here... I wish I had all my pearls with me, I'd go photo mad! The carpet hair is annoying me.
