Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

What a busy weekend, Pearl Dreams! Congratulations to you and your daughter. You must be thrilled and very proud.

These were some of the loose strands I brought back from my trip to Kojima. I knotted the “challenged” baroque akoyas into a short strand, and the tiny silvery blue freshwater strand, strung longer, with an Edison pendant from PP hanging from it.

Thank you jeg...very proud mama here. I have passed along your congratulations to her and she says thanks too. :)

She and I both have colds now, ugh. I made a big pot of chicken soup today.
 
Jeg, that's such a lovely study in blues and silvers ... so nicely done :)
 
Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Today I'm knocking around in the baroque akoyas that I got from PP 3 years ago. They are 9.5-10.0mm. I really like this size for short pearl necklaces.

Pearl Dreams, that necklace remains one of my all-time favorites and looks great on you.
 
I do love baroque akoyas! I wore mine the other day at work and forgot to post here.

8.5-9mm baroque akoyas from PP and 7-8mm pink/silver metallic freshwater pearls also from PP. I'm also wearing some blossom collection freshadama earrings in yellow gold with 5.5mm Vietnamese golden akoyas in my second piercing, both from PP (man was I a walking advertisement for them that day!).

I also included a picture of the golden akoyas with a pair of pinked hanadama studs on the day I got the goldens. They are small but mighty for sure!

That's a lovely spring look, lary007! I was SOOOO tempted by those little golden V. Akoya earrings but they'd get lost on me, sigh ...
 
Just got these gorgeous turquoise green tahitian earrings from Wendy at Perlescence. They are 12.1 mm. This is my first post even through I've been a member since 2014. But they are so beautiful that I just had to post them. Hopefully I can uplode The photo as well...

Congrats on your new Tahitian studs, Charlotta! Good that you have the wide backs too, to prevent drooping.
 
Thanks Pearl Dreams. I always exchange the earring backs for silikon ones. They are so much more secure and the studs sits better on the ears as well, especially heavy ones.
