Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[battah]

Wow Katbran! I'm not usually into Fiji pearl colors but those are lovely.

Long time no share, guys! My office has been preparing to move, so I haven’t been dressing up or wearing pearls much lately. But I do wear the bracelets in the first photo every day (they’re actually two necklaces wrapped around my wrist), one is little lavender freshies and one is “Edison keshi” (is that a thing? That’s what the vendor called them). I did a simple wire wrap but may take them apart and do something different. We’ll see... second and third photo are of a new lanyard I made for my work ID. If I have to wear it, it needs to be cute! The pearls are inexpensive freshie keshi from Wen, on base metal. My ID can attach at the bottom. I’m liking this a lot and might remake it with gold fill so it lasts longer.

Hi Battah! I’ve missed you and your fun creations! Good luck with your office move...

Thank you, SydK, Jeg, CricketBug, & Charlotta! I do enjoy wearing these.

Katbran, I love the colors of your Fiji's. Mine has similar colors/ tones & is so different from my other Tahitians. You look spectacular in yours.

Battah, love the look of the 2 necklaces as bracelets.

Pretty bracelet wraps Battah and the lanyard is really cool.

I have been living in my Japan Kasumi strand and have been trying to organize ALL the photos I took. It is such a delightful strand to photograph because I can just put it under the window and snap. Unfortunately I can’t quite get the colors when it’s around my neck.

Worn with a Grace Pearl Edison that was a special request for Jeremy’s shopping list several years ago. It is hanging from a purply pink pearl chain with pearls from Hong Kong.

I’ll change pearls for this week.... maybe!

JEG: I love all those combinations. Once again, you remind me of my favorite Flower Fairies.

 

[battah]

Thank you jeg, Corvette, and Charlotta! jeg, not a lot of creativity or creating happening these days, I've been all work and kids all the time! It's fun in a different way, of course, but I do miss making things. I've been doing a fair bit of embroidery to keep my hands busy so that helps.

Ohhhh those kasumis are insanely beautiful! The colors! And I'm in love with your flower link necklace, it's lovely <3

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Jeg, your Kasumi necklace is off the chain!!! I just love how it works with all kinds of combinations!! Gloriously beautiful. It's what I'm looking for in a Kasumi strand...colors, size, everything!! Pearl Fairy quality!!

My youngest got paid today & wants to take me out to dinner for an After Mother's Day treat so I broke out my Tahitian & WSS ombré strands with Tahitian studs.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Jeg, I'm not sure which I like seeing more...your pearls or your fabulous wardrobe! Wait...I know, BOTH!!

86, we aren't quite to the stage yet where anyone is buying us dinner, however my adults (I've been banned from calling them kids) are all self sufficient, so that's progress. I absolutely love your ombre strand!

Thanks, JP. All our boys are grown & on their own; one is 22 & the other is 28. They're really good about taking us out to eat but the youngest wanted to just take me out so we could spend some mother son time together. He works 6, sometimes 7 days a week so he likes his Mom time. We always let them know when we're going out & if their schedule allows it, they come along & we usually pick up the tab. They're good about recipricating, especially when they often grocery shop from my freezer. LOL

First a bigThanks for your lovely compliments on the Fiji pearls, 86Corvette, jeg, battah, and Cricketbug ! Very kind of you !

Battah, I really wasn't sure about these when they arrived. It wasn't until I put them on that I thought... oh... these are really nice on ! Pearls can be so tricky...sometimes they look great just in the box but a bit ordinary on and then the happy surprise when they look ordinary in the box but look great on ...
Also I love your wrap bracelet ! As for the Edison Keshi - when I was in Hong Kong I specifically asked about them at Grace Pearl as someone here had asked me for some. Grace said they do not produce Keshi pearls. Now it might mean that they sell off any that happen ... but they seems mystified that I was asking.
You can , however, buy Ming Keshi . Ming are the same type of production as Edison..just a different company. I bought two or three strands but they were down to the dregs by the time I found them. So not exactly amazing but still nice.

Jeg - Those Kasumi...I'd be wearing them everyday as well. You have a tremendous sense of style and an great eye for fashion. Your combinations are always 'spot on' . Love all the layers !! That little flower necklace is so cute !

86Corvette - Isn't it nice when they are old enough to take you out on special occasions... and pay lol I love that Ombre Tahitian strand you could layer that with so many other pieces. Lovely lustre

 

[CricketBug]

jeg and 86C, you two are really putting on a clinic!

jeg, that strand is absolutely spectacular and seems to go with so many things. What a find! 86C, the ombre strand is stellar and looks wonderful on you.

battah, I love the necklace-bracelets!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Thank you, Katbran & CricketBug. The ombrés really are versatile & work with all kinds of combinations. I'm so glad I decided to get both of them. And yes, Katbran, it is nice when they are responsible enough to ask us out & pick up the tab. LOL

 

[Parrot Lady]

Such a lovely bunch pearls and ladies.
86CG, your ombré strand is beautiful, but I think I like your green Tahitian strand best.
Katbran, i’ve never seen a Fiji strand in person, but they look great on you and as far as necks go, you’re looking good.
jeg, words can’t describe how beautiful that Kasumi strand is. I especially liked it with the flower link necklace.

 

[jeg]

Thank you so much, BWeaves, battah, 86C, JerseyPearl, newberry, Katbran, CricketBug, and ParrotLady! I really appreciate all your wonderful compliments, and so glad you are entertained by my eclectic style.

86C, love those ombrés, and looks like you were ready to go out for dinner in style. You did a great job with your sons, too! It sounds like they are very close to their parents.

 

[BWeaves]

Everyone's ombre's are killing me. I want one.

 

[Charlotta]

Beautiful stunning kasumis Jeg.
Your ombre strands are so nice 86Corvettegirl, how nice of your child to take you out for dinner.
