Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[86Corvettegirl]

Yes, Katbran.....that pie!!! I gained 10 lbs just from looking at the pic!!! LOL
Ladies, all your pearls look amazing! Keep that eye candy coming!!!

Thank you to all who like my octopus. I contacted the designer who made it & he's now making me another one with a bluish Tahitian & blue diamond eyes. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece. I also contacted Sheri about designing an octobaby for me so I'm now on the hunt for the perfect pearl....maybe a colorful Kasumi. I would love to find a pearl that would be perfect for a blue ringed Octopus. It's something to think about.
I do have a flameball pendant coming that looks kinda like an octopus which is the reason I chose it. It should be here tomorrow so it will be interesting to see it IRL.

After yardwork/grass cutting & a nice refreshing shower, I'm wearing my metallic pink flameball pendant made for me by Sakura. It came today & I just had to put it on! I like this one because it reminds me of an octopus. I wear a lot of black, white, blues & greys but it looks like I need to incorporate some pink & lavender/purple in my wardrobe!

I am so behind so I am sorry for the blanket compliment on everyone’s pearls.

And yes, Katbran, let’s talk about that pie! Delicious macadamia nut ice cream topped with fudge, whipped cream and more macadamia nuts.

86Corvette- I can see the Octopus as well... I love the Fireballs with the rippled tails like that one ! Very pretty !

jeg - I love macadamias ! I think this pie was made for me ... !!! Thanks my dear !!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Thank you, Katbran. This is my first actual fireball pendant but it won't be my last. I just love them! I would love to find one like BAS has with the wide frilly skirt or one like BN's huge white with the lavender edging on the skirt. I'm having Sakura make me a long Tin Cup necklace with some of her white Soufflé & some blue baroque akoyas that I found & am sending to her. I love tin cups, especially in the hot summer months & with the longer length she's going to make me, I'll be able to double it. If I can find some GSS that I like, I would have her make me a golden one too. I have too many pearl wants.

Charlotta that came out beautifully! Love the colors.

Corvettegirl, gorgeous pendant, and I love it on that chain.

Keeping it simple today with this ring. Hand-sculpted silver flower in a horn ring, with one of the beautiful freshwater keshi Hisano found for me in HK last year. It’s so hard to get an accurate photo of the pearl, I’m not sure why.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Battan, that ring is beautiful in its simplicity!! That keshi is perfect with the silver petals! Just beatiful!

I was out running errands & taking care of some family business today in the heat & humidity. I was in a pearl mood so I loaded up since most of my time was spent in the air conditioning. I decided to wear my ombré strands, a longer white off round strand, carved Tahitian pendant & Tahitian studs. A little weighty but it's all good! I'll take pearl weight any day!!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Well...even though I'm not able to be at Ruckus this year, I was able to get a Waterfall Light necklace from Kojima. I went to purchase the 36" blue Akoya necklace I had seen on their site but someone had already snagged it. But as the Fates would have it, I bought this one instead. I love BN's Waterfall so much that I had to jump on this one. I'm not sure what Waterfall Light means....maybe it's not as long or the pearls are a little smaller but I love it! It's going to look awesome layered with some of my other strands or on it's own! Couldn't be happier with how this looks!!!

 

[Charlotta]

That waterfall necklace is so beautiful 86Corvettegirl

 

[2thdktr]

Aha! So you are the person who snagged that! I was hemming and hawing-- just a little too long, I guess. Enjoy- it's beautiful.

 

[2thdktr]

86Corvettegirl-- is it knotted between pearls or are there bumpers?

 

[jesskat]

86Corvette - that pendant is gorgeous! I love the simplicity of it because it just shows off how fantastic the fireball is and anything from Kojima is amazing. I love Sarah's stuff, my favorite hands down. I have my eye on so many necklaces there...

 

[Bonsava]

Beautiful necklaces 86Corvettegirl - I, too, longed after the light waterfall, but ultimately restrained myself. Glad to see it ended up with a PGer so we can still see it from time to time!

Last night I went out to a very casual dinner at a local hole-in-the-wall with family. Light, informal, irregular pearls seemed the thing to suit, so on went my Sea of Cortez keshi from SimplyAdorned4U and my blue Tahitian keshi sunbursts from Kojima Pearl.

 

[jesskat]

oh my goodness Bonsava those earrings! WANT SO HARD.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Thanks, everyone. Yes, when I saw the blue Akoya gone but the Waterfall Light was there. I deemed it Fate & got it before anyone else could. I'll have to check to see where the knots are. I don't think it has bumpers. I just love the look.

Bonsava, I love your pendant & earrings. The earrings are so unique.

I saw on Instagram that Kojima has a harvest of silver Akoyas! I can't wait to see what they do with them!

 

[Charlotta]

That necklace is so beautiful Bonsava and keshi studs are definetly on my want-list, beautiful

 

[Katbran]

Battah - Love the ring !

Corvette- Love the Waterfall necklace - it seems so 'wearable' !

Bonsava - Love the SoC necklace from Margaret - she has lovely designs ! Those earrings are so cute.. I used to have some Gold earrings that looked like that but without the pearl.. they looked like a sea urchin lol I love the pearl in there !

Heading home from the ruckus decked out in an overload of pearls.

From the top: Golden SS drop, purchased last fall from PP, pipi pearls from PP's recent VIP sale, Robert Wan multicolored Tahitians from an earlier PP ruckus, Fiji keshi on 18kt gold chain wrapped by Catherine at Stephen Vincent in Minneapolis, and a octo-mermaid pendant by Sheri Jurnecka, which is my new ruckus treasure

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Beautiful, all of them. Your octo-mermaid pendant is a treasure indeed!
