A Year of Pearls in the Life of a Pre-K Teacher:

[JerseyPearl]

Look at your smile! Anything that gives that much pleasure while wearing is a MUST for picture day!
eta: Love that color on you...that deep orchid compliments your tone nicely.

 

[BAS]

Aww, thanks everyone!

DAY 26: The 75" of my 144" rope was configured differently throughout the day. I wore drop jackets on my diamond studs for the earrings:

Adore the latest looks BAS! Just so pretty!

 

[BWeaves]

LOVE the rope and the drops.

Please tell us more about your drops. (I'm in drop mode, as if you haven't guessed.)

I bought two loose drops at a jeweler and asked him to make jackets for my diamond studs. They are just CFW white drops. Nothing special. Not metallic, not super lustrous. But I like their shape and size. and wore them again today.

Day 27:

 

[BWeaves]

Ooo, interesting. My mother has a similar looking necklace of rice krispies with carved lapis where you have Tahitians. I think I like your version better.

I love what you've done with your Hanadamas. Just out of curiosity, what mm size are your Hanadamas? And did you get all those pieces out of an 18 inch necklace? Or was it originally longer?

The hanadamas are 9 to 9.5mm and they were originally a 26 inch strand. I must say, I went from never wearing them at all to wearing them quite often. Before, they were an awkward length on my short body. I absolutely love them reworked in this way!

DAY 28:

Lavender/champagne ripples with golden souffle earrings:

 

[JerseyPearl]

I adore a good ripple! And those are spectacular!

 

[Tucs]

Very pretty, and I love them with that top.

 

[GemGeek]

Fabulous Hanadamas!

 

[BAS]

Fabulous Hanadamas!

I'm so pleased with the remake!

 

[GemGeek]

Me too. Makes me wish I had extra pearls, too!

Wait, so the hanadama strand and the pearls on the tin cup came from the same strand? The tincup pearls look larger. Do they share the same clasp or are they two separate necklaces? Either way, they are both gorgeous and I love the look of wearing both together!

The pearls are exactly the same size and the set is made from a 26" strand. I had them re-worked into earrings, a strand and a tin cup. Separate clasps:

DAY 29:

Multi-color CFW triple from HK:

 

[lisa c]

That's cute worn this way! It looks like a peterpan collar, sort of.

 

[Naan]

Great idea!

 

[BWeaves]

Love the triple. I like wearing my clasps in front, too. If you have a fancy clasp, make it the focal point.
