I love the necklace length on your mother--elegant. I notice she's wearing the clasp in the same position as you habitually wear yours.

She's my style icon and my fashion inspiration. So, yup, I tend to copy her. (We all turn into our mothers at some point, right?)
She always keeps up with what is in fashion. She never dresses too young, but she always looks much younger than she is because she dresses up to date and always has her hair done, her nails manicured, and her makeup and jewelry on. She feels naked without earrings.

What wonderful photos! Potato latkes and pearls...what more could a woman need? Many good wishes to you and your family for a wonderful and Happu Chanukah!

I'm wearing my color-shifting pink-peach-gold strand today. The colors come out to play better on overcast days, but these metallic pearls love the sun, too.
I love the feeling of oval pearls on my skin. I think it may be because more of the pearl's surface is in contact with the skin than when wearing round pearls.

I'm feeling blue today, in a good way.
My new 6-7 mm Vietnamese blue akoya rope with my 9 mm Vietnamese baroque blue akoya necklace and my Kojima blue grey drops.
I'm really amazed at how well the natural blue pearls photograph. They just glow. I compare them to my dyed blues, which look great in real life, but look terrible in photographs, which leads me to believe they don't look as good as I think they do.

I used to think that some of Queen Elizabeth I pearls were just in shadow. Now I wonder if she's wearing blues or greys or Sea of Cortez similar pearls.

They're very reflective on a sunny day, such as Monday when I took the photos. I suspect a lot of that color was reflections of my shirt!
To show the overtone colors I'll have to try again on an overcast day. A few of the pearls look greener when the light is diffuse, some pinker, etc.

Have been on a fairly long hiatus from wearing pearl necklaces but it's my last few days of work before taking a (maternity) break plus all those delicious Vietnamese blues that I've been seeing online made me in the mood to dig out some pearls to wear.
Before twisting triple strand into torsade:
Torsade of above triple with another light blue akoya strand:
Tahitians with onyx links:
No natural light shots cos its too warm to be in the sun (I'm a mini heat generator now!).
