Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[SurfnSci]

Thank you, 86C and Jeg!

@86Corvettegirl Those are spectacular tahitians, wow! I would definitely not get tired of wearing your necklace either

@jeg The cloud necklace makes me happy every time I see it, and your golden SS are just amazing. I like the mixed SS strand, as well. (Super cute skirt today, too!)

Thanks, 86C! I know your strand is out there! Thank you so much for the kind compliments SurfnSci. All old stuff, including the skirt…

Earrings from Hawaii, a color banded Tahitian strand I put together, and a silver chain bib necklace I bought in Mazatlan years ago. I think I paid a dollar for it and surprisingly have not polished it yet.

So many stunning pearls here!!!

@jeg Your goldens, tiny pearl chains, Kojima Spice necklace... all make my heart sing...your pearl collection is truly full of treasures!!! And your wire-wrapping is amazing as always! And the pink coat!!! The bib and pearls combination!!! It looks fantastic!!!

@86Corvettegirl Multicolor Ts are my favorite and yours are stunning!

@CathyKeshi Your new Kojima piece is gorgeous! Such a sunny piece!!!

@SurfnSci Wow your SoC necklace is magical!!! Well done!!! I was alwyas thinking of you when I saw a SoC pearl at Druzy shop ;-) You must be really happy with it, they are very special pearls!

Thank you @jeg and @SurfnSci @ CathyKeshi for your kind words! As for the golden wire Cathy, I flattened the clasp ring so it still works with the clasp and at the same time is thin enough to let the pearls pass ( will take a picture of it for you). Here it is with a fun “apple” T pendant from Julia of Ocean Rhyme on Etsy.

Hello Ladies, work has been absolutely kicking my ar$e this past year and haven't worn as much jewelry given I've gone mostly remote. But I am making a renewed effort to bust out some pieces, and I'm especially trying to convert my brooches to wearable necklaces. So every single one of these are brooch conversions!

 

[Luvglitz]

Purranha, so glad to see you post again. I love your reimagined conversions with brooches and pearls. I remember your stories about your pearls. Welcome back

Aww thank you Luvglitz, much appreciated! It's definitely been challenging for me to pop in more regularly lately. And always love seeing everyone's postings!

Those are gorgeous, Pirranha. I especially like the diamond & jade one. If I'm wearing my hair up, I've been wearing a few of my Sterling Japanese Akoya brooches in my hair. So glad to see you back.

Thank you 86Corvettegirl! The jade/pearl brooch is a convertible were the jade can be positioned vertical or horizontal, and I can remove the pearl to be attached to something else. I really love that piece too so am trying to find ways to wear it since I don't wear brooches much.

Ooohhh I would love to see how you use/position your brooches in your hair. Please share pics!

We missed you, Paula!!!

 

[BWeaves]

I love everything! Good to see you back, Purranha.

 

[jeg]

Love those two necklaces together, eolian! I really, really love the versatility of your pearl slides! It‘s such a great way to highlight the individual pearl colors.

How wonderful to see you, Purr! I always love seeing your blingy creations. The reinvented brooches are spectacular!

I am anxious for more glimpses of sunlight around here. Horrible natural light for pearl pics, and when there is enough sun, I’m not home... Natural white Akoya studs from Takahashi, a golden SS strand from Kojima, wrapped with a mult golden strand I put together.

Like having sunshine into your room on a very cold day! I felt their warmth seeping into me.

Great to have you back and sharing your lovely pearls and brooches...I especially loved the white baroque SSP with the rectangular Jade piece. But they all have their unique appeal!

 

[SurfnSci]

@jeg I'm completely obsessed with your golden torsade necklace yesterday! Your tahitian strand/chain bib necklace combo was also so cool and chic.

@eolian pearls Thank you! Haha, you know my SoC obsession too well I love your apple pendant and your pearl chain necklace is stunning - such gorgeous colors! The centerpiece pearl is especially pretty.

@Purranha Wow, such a creative idea, and what incredible pieces you've made!!! I especially like your butterfly strand.

Metallic FW strands from Pearl Paradise for me today.

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much, Douglas and SurfnSci!!! SurfnSci, the luster looks fantastic on those metallic freshies, and so pretty together.

A J. Hunter keshi necklace I bought in Fiji, with two strands of Tahitians I put together.

When PP had those super special bronze & purple Edison strands...

 

[jeg]

That took me on a walk down memory lane, Purr. If I remember correctly, the first grouping of deep colored metallics were part of the holiday 2018 offerings from PP, or somewhere around there. In January, a group of us (Newberry, Red, CathyKeshi, lmgarden, KaySD and me) visited the vault. Jeremy had just received a new shipment of the intense deep metallics. He said they were sent maybe around 300 strands(?) and pulled out just a handful of the nicest strands. I still think about one strand that just popped out above the rest. It was a coppery gold with the craziest luster I’ve ever seen. It was super super unusual, but the color just didn‘t seem to suit any of us, and we were a very diverse group. I always wonder where it is now. I’ve posted pics from our visit before, but here are a couple just for fun. One of my favorite memories of those trips would be, how the table always started out neat- everyone with their own tray, and soon enough, we would end up with piles of pearls everywhere.

 

[Purranha]

Jeg!! Haha those table spread were EPIC!!! Definitely miss rummaging through the PP Vault. And you are exactly right. My strands were from Winter 2018 and I think I bought from the first batch? I have 1 lighter/med bronze, 1 medium bronze/purple mixed color, and 1 purple strand so there's a nice gradient when I link them together. I think I pretty much jumped on these two strands when they appeared on PP IG.

 

[jeg]

Purr, yes, you, Red, BAS and BabyNurse all bought strands from the first batch. The selection we were able to see at the vault was just a few months later from a new shipment. I had my eyes on too many other things. That particular winter was probably the widest variety of pearls and best selection of pearls I’ve seen at PP.
