Thanks SydK, Charlotta, Bridie, Jeg and 86Corvettegirl!
SydK - agree that torsades can be tricky re: formality. I do particularly like the last Tahitian one you posted, very striking.
Jeg - always love the colour palettes you create with you clothes and pearls.
BWeaves - love your classy whites...
Like Incik Boncuk and Bailey, I check out this thread most days, and am always delighted even if I don't post a comment. Thanks everyone for your inspirational images. Jeg, those unique shoulder dusters have a wonderfully fresh colour palette and variety of textures. BWeaves, your new ombre...
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. There's so much to catch up on!
SydK: I think drop shapes are my favourite now, too. You have a lovely variety of drop pendants. And your new fireball is very lustrous!
Jeg: That Kojima golden SS pendant is a stunner. The white SS rope is lovely too...
Everyone looks great, as usual.
86Corvettegirl: fierce clasp!
Frost Me: so shiny!
Jeg: both strands are beautiful. Love the mixed sizes in the longer strand. The pastel strand is unusual and delicate.
BWeaves: you have some enviable pendants and I'm looking forward to seeing the Snowman...
Congratulations on your engagement, Avolin! Your ring is supremely elegant. I really like the lower profile of the button shape. Did you end up sourcing the pearl yourself?
Thank you, SydK and Narcissa. It always fascinates me how our perception of Tahitian colours is so dependent on the surroundings.
And thank you to Bernadette for the beading materials - great service!
I impulsively bought this silvery-pink Tahitian pearl some time ago and then later acquired these silver Tahitian keshi. Thought I would combine them with Beaders' Secret in Candy. This was my first attempt at knotting and I've since re-done the strand with tighter knots. The pearls look...
IrisSL, your white pieces are classic and sweet. By the way, Kamoka Pearls is currently having a pendant sale. I see someone has already snapped up the amazing-looking 14.8mm peacock pendant!
Lovely pearls, everyone. Gemandpearllover, the Drama strand looks great against your fair hair and...
Those gold pieces are intricate and pretty. And I agree with Pattye - your pendant is striking and much more interesting than the average pearl pendant.
Thank you, AzFlyGirl and Incik Boncuk. Incik, I know what you mean about looking at them least once a day, even if you don't put them on...Tahitians seem to be hypnotic! Which of your strands is getting the most wear so far - I'm guessing The Standout? They're all lovely though. The overtones of...
Thank you for your kind words, Octavia's Mom, Red, Charlotta, CathyKeshi and BWeaves. CathyKeshi, I guess you are right about pearls influencing wardrobe choices. I may have to start wearing more open-necked tops and fewer collared shirts to work!
Hello, this is my first post on this forum after a period of time lurking and admiring everyone's wonderful gems. BWeaves, I think the All-Josh strand looks even better in your real-life photo than on the Kamoka website! Such a visually interesting composition.
This multicolour drop strand is...
