Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[MSC]

Thanks guys!! The wing and two smaller pearls are River pearls and the center pearl on the necklace is a mystery. Not sure about the pearl on the ring, I assume it's an akoya since it was my grandmother's ring (by murata pearls, which I admittedly know nothing about)

Today is my white with silver overtones SSP strand from PP, along with white SS keshi drops by little h.

 

[Luvglitz]

JerseyPearl, what a great look! I never thought of using two different colored ropes doubled in front to make a necklace. Looks like am going to be playing with existing pearl ropes today to see if I can get the same look as yours.

Katbran, lovely dangle earrings.

Luvglitz, you have to either use strands that have identical clasps or ones that can hook together easily like orbits. Or you could use a connector in the back...or even a large safety pin.

 

[Luvglitz]

JP, I hadn't gotten that far into the mechanics of how to manage the clasps. I had two Tahitian ropes in mind, but as I recall, they are slightly different lengths. Even if I use a connector, the clasp wouldn't sit on the center of my neck (sigh). I'll just have to stop feeding DH and family and buy more pearls.

Red, you look fabulous with ss pearls! They glow!

 

[Luvglitz]

Red, love your SS pearls. What is their size?

 

[Sanippy]

Stunning SSP Red!

 

[Katbran]

Kat, those new earrings you made look FANTASTIC!!!!

JP -- Thank you !! I have to say I'm loving them ! Wore them to a small charity thing yesterday and got lots of remarks and an offer to buy LOL I've kept them ..for now.. But. I've never worn looong earrings before and was pleased they were comfortable. It's a bit of a prototype as I wasn't sure how the weight would go ..but with 12mm Edison's they were fine. I've done a shorter version on wire with long skinny white drops ..waiting for glue to dry. We shall see what they looks like . I need to improve my selfie photography..they don't look shiny and they are ! Haha

MSC - loving the look ! Really interesting pearls !

Luvglitz- thanks very much !!

Red - beautiful WSS - I think the size is quite perfect !! And I love the colour ! Perfection all around !

Sorry I've been MIA - gorgeous pieces, ladies!

 

[MSC]

katbran, I totally missed your selfie! Those earrings are gorgeous!

 

[Sanippy]

MSC I missed your post earlier. I love your ring and tin cup. I'm so intrigued by your mystery pearl!

 

[Sanippy]

I've been saving pearls for a necklace but last night I decided to string them into a bracelet to wear while I collect the rest. It still needs tidying up but here are a few snaps!

 

[Sanippy]

Argh why do my photos always flip?!
!

 

[Luvglitz]

Hanadama, gorgeous pearls particularly with your skintone. Love the picture of the pearls on the shell.

 

[MSC]

Gorgeous bracelet, hanadama! Of course, I could send the necklace to GIA, but then I'd have to buy less pearls. A mystery it remains (for now)!

 

[BWeaves]

I love the bracelet and the shell. It looks great on your wrist, too, but that shell!

 

[Pareltje]

Lovely pearls Hanadama. Oh yeah, that shell is gorgeous

 

[JerseyPearl]

I have a manta ray shell too! But now I need a bracelet too.
