My pearls

[Charlotta]

Thank you eolian pearls. I only bought one ice blue akoya strand. There is another one left... I agree about the breakfast break time, probably later in Hongkong, but in the middle of the night for us.

Your ever evolving pearls amaze me!

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you 86Corvettegirl, yep they aren't gathering any dust haha.

Since there are so much snow I thought that I would photograph my bracelet strand on a bransch for you. Well there were some wind so they are blurry. A giant forsythia.

And a blurry closeup.

A lot of snow

Yesterday I picked up this vintage peridot cluster gold ring that I bought some weeks ago. It's beautiful and so green. With my bracelet strand on the window sill. I miss my outdoors room.

 

[eolian pearls]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the bracelet necklace!!!! Under any conditions! And the peridot ring is beautiful too!

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you eolian pearls. So I got a little overboard today and knotted 4 golden south sea bracelets and one extender. I am wearing this combination tomorrow, a circled pale golden bracelet with a golden south sea ripple bracelet (Pearlescence) and an extender made out of circled south sea pearls from my leftover pile. I have also added a champagne south sea enhancer from Pearlsociety. I am going to wear this combination with my deep golden south studs from Pearlescence.

The window sill photos washes the colors out a bit.


Earrings from my archive.

The I made another golden south sea ripple bracelet (Pearlescence)

And a mixed everything south sea bracelet. Some from Pearlescence, some from my leftover pile.

 

[Charlotta]

This is how those pearls normally look...

 

[Pareltje]

Lustrous pearls you have, Charlotta! Droolworthy.

 

[eolian pearls]

Beautiful south seas Charlotta! I am happy the bracelet hack is working out so well for you

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you Pareltje and eolian pearls, and now you can accually see those photos...when my deeper golden south sea pearls arrive from Druzydesign I think that I will get a better contrast.

 

[Charlotta]

My tourmalines and peridots arrived from Druzydesign. Those greenish grey pearls didn't work out, to big. It didn't look good. Now I am playing with my green akoyas from Pearlescence instead. Here is the first try.

Crappy window sill photos of course.

They look lovely but I want to include the tourmalines as well and maybe remove most of the tahitians. Well see. Today I played with my bracelets again and combined the rainbow bracelet with the blue bracelet (both from cmw pearls) , added the extender and my big circled tahitian enhancer from Pearlsociety. I used my blue tahitian studs from Pearlescence with them.

I forgot to photograph the earrings so that photo is accually good...

It's still cold and snow. Friday the temperature was down to - 2,2F when I drowe to work. Ick

 

[eolian pearls]

I love your peridots & pearls creation Charlotta! It makes me think of spring, such a sweet necklace! And of course I am still in love with your rainbow bracelet...

 

[StarryPearl]

I love this thread so much that I become speechless... Good job, Charlotta, please keep it going...

 

[pattye]

Oh, delightful pearls with peridot, Charlotta, a great combination!

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you eolian pearls, StarryPearl and Pattye. The peridots are really pretty and have the color of spring green. I long for spring and daffodils, it's to cold and snowy now.

I keep trying to incorporate those gemstones with the pearls. It sure is easier to just use pearls in my opinion. I removed the circled tahitians and added tourmalines. The strand is very pretty but a bit, I don't know really, smallish? It needs some bigger pearls or gemstones I think.


This one is slightly darker

I think that I may try to add some of these greenish grey tahitians. Those greenish grey tahitian drops are very pretty, clean and big, but a bit boring on their own.

And maybe carved moldavite

Well at least I can string these on serafi, I don't have to use beading wire. I really dislike the feeling of pearls on beading wire when I wear it. Except for the tassels that is. I made a bracelet with all but two of those circled tahitians. It's gorgeous and sort of rainbowy. I didn't see it clearly when I made it since I used a lamp at night. I think that I have to keep it like this.


I will keep you updated haha. I forgot. Saved some pearls and gems for earrings.

 

[Pareltje]

Your pearls are so colorful, Charlotta. Such a feast for the eyes.

 

[Charlotta]

Thank you Pareltje. Well I tried to incorporate those big tahitian pearls. First I wirewrapped some earrings, green akoyas and green tahitian drops on the huggies I got from Pearlescence.

I liked them so much that I didn't even include the gemstones. So I made an irregular mix of the green akoyas and the green tahitian drops and didn't even include the gemstones in this one either. It's a 23,5 inches long strand now. I have saved 12 of those big drops for maybe a tincup with the gemstones. To dark today, I have to try tomorrow. A slightly dark photo of the strand an earrings. The sun was almost down. I get another one in the morning.

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

 

[eolian pearls]

Very very pretty Charlotta! You’ll be happy to know that you have inspired me to make cmw pearls purchase ;-) And now I need to unfollow all the pearl IGs..I am too weak...
