Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[eolian pearls]

Thank you @SurfnSci! Funny, I have never worn that tin cup and was considering giving it away and now I really love it with the Takahashis... I got lucky with this layering, still havent gotten to the paperclip chain...you already managed that one ;-) not so hopeless My inspiration also comes from here of course!

I am waaaay behind! BWeaves, I always love those Kamoka pieces. My kitchen is actually dark, the photo is of an area downstairs that is set up like a kitchenette, but it is my craft/storage area. The cabinets and counters are nicer than my kitchen! SurfnSci, the SS pearls and keshi are so pretty and delicate. Beautiful! And eolian~ what can I say ~ all your Tahitian gorgeousness! Wowie, they are spectacular!

A few of my new purchases from Pearls By The Bay! A Tahitian ring and pendant. A couple of other things are in the works…

 

[BWeaves]

Eolian Pearls: The Takahashi's glow, and I love them with the tin-cup.

JEG: Ooo, love your new ring and pendant. I so missed not being able to go.

 

[SurfnSci]

@jeg Wow, your new Tahitian pieces are like metallic mirrors! Gorgeous!

Thank you, BWeaves and SurfnSci!

J.Hunter Fiji bracelet from PP Ruckus and a white Tahitian keshi bracelet I put together. Basically, a pile of pearls.I even had my blue Tahitian strand from Collins Pearls on for a while, too!

Thank you @BWeaves and @jeg!

Jeg I love the vibrant colors on your new pieces from Kojima! And WOW your pearly party pearls!!! Such a pearly extravaganza!!! The akoya keshi ombre with the turtle clasp is so so cute! And the feathers! White T!!! Beautiful!

I need to share this wonderful 13mm SSP drop I got from the lovely Kathleen @Katbran of PearlzAustralia. I have been in love with this pearl from the moment I opened my package. It is certified gem luster pearl from THAT Aussie pearl company and I planned to use it in a cage like setting (still needs to arrive) but...it’s just too beautiful to cover up even a bit...will see once the cage arrives... I took a picture with my Takahashi akoyas and I am SO impressed with the SSP‘s luster and overtones without any treatment... My pearl wishlist just got updated ;-)

Thank you, eolian! Oh boy, that is one beautiful pearl. The luster is gorgeous and I especially love the shape!

I’m wearing a couple of strands from Collins Pearls. A true Tahitian harvest strand from the last harvest, and a keshi strand with a crazy metallic lime green keshi in the center.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Breathtakingly beautiful Jeg!!!

 

[AzFlyGirl]

Oh ladies, your post and pearls are gorgeous.

Eolian your akoya strand is a stunning light bulb. Love the layers

Jeg your PBTB pearls were so pretty. Looked perfect with your lovely dress. And those A Collins pearls are amazing! LOVE the keshi strand. drooling.

 

[eolian pearls]

Thank you @jeg and @AzFlyGirl !

@jeg OMG OMG OMG!!!! The Collins strands!!!! I cant decide which one I love more, they belong together, both absolutely amazing!!! The true harvest strand! The shapes, the luster, the colors!!! And the keshis...So special!!!!

 

[SurfnSci]

@eolian pearls Oh my goodness, that is a beautiful WSS pearl, and I am totally drooling over its insanely metallic luster!

@jeg To echo Eolian, those strands definitely belong together - what a look! The harvest strand is fantastic! You know I am partial to keshis and that lime green one is so incredibly special and rare!!! I love your PBTB look, too, especially those lovely bracelets.

My phone camera is sadly on the fritz, so I haven't been able to take any pictures this past week, but I'm still pearls-in-action-ing every day, lol

 

[jeg]

Thank you so much, Cathy, AzFlyGirl, eolian and SurfnSci! What a bummer about your camera phone, SurfnSci. But I am happy to know you are pearling on! And yes, I think that lime green keshi is a shiny, metallic, anomaly!

Wearing a Sea of Cortez keshi necklace, and a strand of Sea of Cortez pearls. Both from Kojima.

 

[SurfnSci]

@jeg OOOOH, those SoC pearls are so, so beautiful and the colors are incredible! What amazingly gorgeous and special necklaces! They look lovely together...SoC pearls are my absolute favorite - my DH knows if there's ever an emergency and he can only save one box of my pearly pieces, he must save the SoC

 

[CathyKeshi]

Eolian, all your pearls are gorgeous, but I'm really in love with that sweet and spectacular new South Sea pearl ... the luster, orient and cute shape are a delight!

 

[jeg]

Thank you, SurfnSci! Oh boy, what a dilemma that would be for me. I don’t think I could possibly choose just one box to rescue!

Tea, from Sea Gardens Marin, created the most fantastic centerpieces and displays for the Pearls By the Bay event. I posted a few pics in the ‘Other Stuff’ thread, but wanted to add the sea garden I chose for my son. He loves succulents and seashells and has them all over the house, but nothing like these wonderful creations. Tea ships her creations and it all arrived safely, complete with a little care package.



Staying with the seashell theme… wearing a stuffed shell pendant and Tahitian and baby conch earrings from Kojima. The dark Tahitian pendant is also from Kojima. The pearl chain is made of natural wild Sea of Cortez pearls. I purchased temp strands at PBTB and strung them.

 

[BWeaves]

OOOOO, beautiful.

So lovely with this dress. May I ask who makes it? Is it one piece or two?

 

[jeg]

Thanks, BWeaves!

I was happy to see some of my favorite street artists again. I bought another pair of earrings from the metal artist and added a pair of Tahitian drops to them. I love the layers and textures she creates, and I especially love the way the circles in this pair are irregular. Wearing the earrings with a keshi strand from Alex Collins, and a keshi bracelet I put together with extra keshi from dear CathyKeshi.

Oh, thank you so much, Marlakins! I must’ve been creating text when you posted. The dress was created by someone in Australia. I’ve had it for a long time, and if I remember correctly, I had it custom made as her things are really oversized. (still very oversized) I think her business is called Megby Designs. I bought the slip in Hong Kong and a happy surprise the color works well with the dress, as the dress is a very gauzy linen.
