Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[SydK]

Jeg, they look perfect with the extra layer. Gemandpearlover, that’s a wonderful combo and perfect with the neckline on that top.
It was a bit cooler here, so back in a knit today - it’s an alpaca and silk blend, and is wonderfully warm and soft. Also, the colour and texture are pearl-friendly These Tahitians aren’t really this blue - they’re reflecting the wool - but I like the effect.

Sorry, not sure why the pic has also posted sideways

 

[CathyKeshi]

Let's see if I can fix that? Really beautiful blues! Did you knit your sweater?

 

[jeg]

SydK, your sweater really compliments the pearls and brings out that beautiful color!

Happy Mother’s Day! This is a repeat, but it’s what I’m wearing and too lazy to do new pics. Turquoise and pearl cascade set from Hawaii.

Lovely, lovely and more and more lovely!

 

[BWeaves]

Oh wow, JEG, I haven't see that set before. Gorgeous.

SydK: Love Tahitians and sweaters. I find mine also seem to reflect the color I'm wearing. It's why I've learned never to judge Tahitians in the box. I have to put them on and see how they reflect my skin and clothing.

Ladies, I am awed by all your beautiful pearl posts. So many beautiful pearl pics to brighten my days!

For Mother's Day, I wore pearls & rubies in memory of my oldest son who passed away in 2014. Ruby was his birthstone & pearl is mine.

 

[jeg]

That’s a lovely tribute and memory, 86C. And I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

That’s a lovely tribute and memory, 86C. And I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.

Thank you, Jeg. He passed away at 32 yrs old. The heart I have on is my (what they call today) push present when he was born. I always wear it on Mother's Day & his birthday.

 

[SydK]

What a beautiful gesture. I’m sorry for your loss; it’s always terrible to lose a loved one, especially when they are taken too young.

 

[BWeaves]

86C, my sympathy on your loss. What a lovely way to remember him. I'm sure he's remembered every day, but it's nice to have a tradition to do something special. And the pearls and rubies are beautiful.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Thank you, SydK & BW. I think of him everyday.

 

[pattye]

The rubies and pearls are especially lovely and meaningful; I'm so saddened by your loss, 86Corvettegirl.

 

[Charlotta]

Such beautiful pearls everyone, I'm so sorry for your loss 86Corvettegirl. One should not have to loose a child, ever in my opinion.

 

[jeg]

Oh wow, JEG, I haven't see that set before. Gorgeous.

Ha! When you know you have too many pearls...

Kojima mixed strand of Akoya and SS, with golden SS Keshi earrings I made.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Thank you, Pattye & Charlotta.

Jeg, I just love that Kojima strand! The colors & luster are so beautiful. You look fantastic, as always.

 

[Charlotta]

That’s a pretty strand Jeg. Lovely colors.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

My youngest son is taking me out for sushi & sake as a belated Mother's Day dinner. I didn't see him on Sunday because he had to work. I felt like wearing pearls so this evening, I'm dripping in them. Wearing my Tahitian & South Sea ombré strands, my PP 10mm Akoya necklace, 32" large FW necklace, drop pearl La Peregrina style enhancer from Sakura, Autore SS ring & earrings & 2 SS bracelets. I may be in Pearl overload. LOL

 

[BWeaves]

JEG: love the mixed strand from Kojima and your earrings.

86C: WOWZA! Dripping in pearls. I love it. The ombre's really set off the white pearls. Wow.

The weather here has been gorgeous the last few days. Barely hitting 80F, with a soft breeze and blue skies. Low humidity for Florida, although someone else might think it's high.

Today Lapis and freshwater pearls. Mikimoto huggie earrings in yellow gold.



I've been spinning and weaving a lot. I just cut a new shawl off my loom. Handspun silk and Blue Faced Leister wool. I think it will look great with Tahitians. Here it is still on the loom. Loose and airy. It was 20 inches wide on the loom, but shrank to 17 1/2 inches wide after I washed it. It's 2 1/3 yards long and has a fringe on each end.

Oh my goodness, that woven fabric is absolutely beautiful!
