Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[lisa c]

Hurray, Marianne!

maybe sitting on pearls that closely seen together is like sitting on one of those chunky-wood-bead mats?
if I were making the dress, I might have an open seam/vent all down the seat, to make two panels. That way you could have an underskirt to sit on, not pearls.

 

[Marianne]

Phew, glad you included that underskirt….. I was starting to get a very scary picture

 

[JerseyPearl]

Wonder what kind of pearls they were...the pearls on the bodice seemed quite large. Overall it was beautiful

 

[JerseyPearl]

And Felicity Jones seems to have pearls as well

And her bracelet looks very similar to this Judith Ripka

crickett - Those lavenders are amazing!

I'm wearing my natural white Hanadamas today and really don't like the pictures. But hey, some days are better than others!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Very pretty, and love that color on you as well!

 

[kelluvpearls]

Beautiful pearls and photos!
I was wearing my new Edison pearls earrings today, I love them!

 

[BAS]

kelluvpearls -- how lovely! Can we get some ear shots?

 

[JerseyPearl]

kelluvpearls, those are gorgeous! Love the soft color.

 

[pkinnew]

Gorgeous, lucious pearls! Ear shots please!

Today I'm wearing a Tahitian strand purchased from PP this last summer. It's a go-to strand with turtlenecks lately but they sure don't photograph very well (maybe I shouldn't blame the pearls lol!).

I beg to differ. Your photos show some spectacular pearls!

Edit: Whoa! Please bring them back. I liked those pearly white photos.

 

[kelluvpearls]

Pkinnew love your strand and leather jacket!

 

[kelluvpearls]

Thank you all for your kind words, here's an ear shot of the lovely pearl.

Mabe pearls and opal on silver

Mabe pearls and opal on silver

For months, I obsessed about this mabe pearl and opal necklace on Ebay, but I was afraid I wouldn't like it in real life. So when it went on sale last month, I decided to take the plunge.

I don't know if the mabe pearls are saltwater or freshwater, but the silver was crafted in Indonesia. Being in the 11mm range, it has a decent amount of shine and surface quality. The opals are 6x4mm have a surprising amount of fire, given that it's sold on Ebay.

 

[BAS]

WOW! What a fantastic and unique piece! How nice that you'd wanted it and it went on sale! I'd love more neck shots when you get a chance. In different lighting.

Congrats and wear in health!

 

[JerseyPearl]

That is a great necklace! And if the Oscars tell us anything about trends...statement pieces are in! Yours is gorgeous, wear it in good health always.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Cyndaco, that's spectacular! Do you know where the mabe' pearls are from, or the origin of the necklace?
Oh, sorry; went back and read again ... now that you have the necklace, what do you think about "saltwater versus freshwater" on the mabes?

 

[cyndayco]

CathyKeshi, the merchant says the mabe pearls are from saltwater oysters grown in Sulawesi, Indonesia. For opals, he used Australian doublets.

That mabe pearls are saltwater make sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese figure out how to grow mabe pearls in freshwater mussels.
