Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Charlotta]

Parrot Lady. That’s a long time, but hopefully they will show up soon. In sweden the swedish postal service often keeps my packages for 3weeks before sending them to me. Usually with packages from China and USA, I don't know why. Thailand, England and Holland goes quicker, that’s where I usually shop from.

That is a lovely strand you put together Tahitian_blue! I have made some purchases from Aloha Pearls at shows, but have yet to get out to their office in Kaneohe.

I sure hope your pearls find their way soon, ParrotLady!

Great strand

PL, I hope your pearls get to you very soon.

I’m back home now, but here are a few more local finds from my trip.

Monstera earrings and a dress by an Oahu based designer. I also bought it in a greenish color. Worn with my SS strand from POJ. (SS pearls grown in wild oysters from Australia)




And a happy find as I was looking in a store supporting local artists. More pearl cascading jewelry! These are made of turquoise, peridot and Amazonite. Oh, I also noticed on the tag that the pink stones on the other earrings are chalcedony.

You did find some nice pieces in Hawaii Jeg, gorgeous outfits as always.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Those are some awesome pieces you got in Hawaii, Jeg!

 

[CricketBug]

Love the monstera earrings in particular, jeg! And the outfit is really coolio, too!

JEG, I love your new treasures.

It's still way too hot and steamy and rainy here, but I did manage to wear some pearls yesterday.

SoC ring from Douglas and PP setting. It's really hard to photograph with one hand. I can't get it in focus.



Kasumi pearl earrings with amethyst and Kasumi pendant, and two Freshwater keshi necklaces all from Kojima. I haven't combined these three necklaces before. They work better together than I thought they would. I think all the yellow gold accents really pulls them together.

Wow, jeg-- love all the things you bought in Hawaii!

BWeaves, you pulled it all together very well.

 

[Andrew M]

Jeg, awesome pieces. Love the earrings.

Bweaves, interesting but very well chosen pieces to coordinate together.

 

[Charlotta]

Bweaves, your pearls looks lovely together. The kasumiearrings are gorgeous.

 

[CricketBug]

BWeaves, I've missed your photos! I love the combo you're wearing.

It's been way too hot and steamy to wear pearls in central Florida right now. I'm sweating sunscreen and I don't want to get it all over my pearls. I do miss wearing my pearls.

Ooooh! Now I understand! Yes, sunscreen would be a wreck for pearls!

Today I'm wearing my white south sea studs. These one is the perfect size for every day, 9.4mm. I'm not wearing any other pearls since it is very dark and rainy and I'm wearing an brown cashmere hoddy. The studs are the only thing one can see anyway with that sweater (I don't accually use the hoddy part, luring around like some villan), but it's so soft and cosy. Not cold really, about 64 Fahrenheit. These are nice classic studs.

I do have another pair of white south sea studs, very baroque and huge 13-14mm. Not really comfortable. They have the same color even though the bigger ones appears to be more yellow.

 

[BWeaves]

9.4 mm is my favorite size for pearl studs. Big enough to show up but just at my earlobe weight limit.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Gorgeous studs, Charlotta. I like my studs around 10mm. I've thought about getting some larger ones (12-14mm) but worry that they won't be comfortable. I would need to wear large pearl backs due to my wonky ear piercings.

I finally found a pair of GSS dangle earrings in the size, shape and color I wanted to go with my necklace from Cees. I got these from a vendor many of us know as Pearl Society, who has recently opened a shop on Etsy called ROLAY.
I really like fat drops.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Love the color & luster, PD. What a great match!!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

I'm really happy with them! The leverback finding is a bit lightweight but if it ever breaks I can easily replace that part.
