Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[theseventhsphinx]

Thank you, CatMom! I agree about the Tahitian colors! They always keep me coming back.
You are so sweet, theseventhsphinx, thank you! Good for you- are congratulations in order, or are you still pursuing your education?
Thank you so much, heartofawareness! Wow, your ever-growing collection is really something else. Beautiful new additions!
Thanks, BWeaves! I had also thought about that Tahitian piece, but I am happy to have the SOC.

Thank you, @jeg ! Congratulations *are* in order, in fact! As of June I am a master of industrial design. Took an intro metalworking jewelry course and enjoyed it so much! Definitely want to keep playing in that area with pearls in the picture. We'll see.

The Larimer in these earrings is lovely! I wasn't familiar with this stone but glad to have it on my radar. Your goldens are, as usual, sublime.

Congratulations for sure, theseventhsphinx!!! Hopefully pearls will always be in the picture! I realized I made an error in naming the stone when I read your reply! The stone is a locally found Listwanite. Larimer is more blue and found in the Dominican Republic.

Thanks so much, CathyKeshi! BWeaves, that woven pouch you created is very cool! And thank you, CatMom! Yes, just think how much trouble wire wrapping can get you into! Happy to help!

A turquoise and peridot necklace with cascading pearl pendant from Hawaii, with tiny chains and anklet I made.

Random Tahitian keshi tin-cup from Kojima. I normally layer this necklace with other pearls, but it just felt like letting this one shine on its own today. Plus, it's too hot to layer up. The golden pearl is actually much more gold than it appears in the photo.

Black and white, ok peacock and lavender, mismatched studs from Kamoka. My eggplant and light blue studs also match this necklace well. Actually, any of my earrings go with this necklace because they're are so many different colors of pearls.

My latest handwoven shawl. The colors remind me of mother of pearl. The turquoise weft really changes the color of the warp. The yellow becomes emerald green, and the fuchsia changes to purple.

The colors in your new shawl look so pretty, BWeaves! A colorshifting sheen like some FW pearls.

Oh I really like the turquoise with the pearls. Great combination of colors!

Gorgeous Tahitians jeg. I really am taken with the lighter color Tahitians these days.

 

[CortezPearls]

Lovely pearls to end the week! A new week starts tomorrow and the month of August is almost over!
Anyone else here that feels that this year is just going away too fast?

 

[la_corsetiere]

I've been away for a whiletrying to catch up. Beautiful pearls my Pearlie Ladies!! I've been wearing pearls but I keep forgetting to take pics. Kanaloa has been making the rounds this summer & is a hit everywhere he goes...even to the drag racing tracks.

So nice to see Kanaloa out and about!

Thanks so much, CatMom! Do I see more Tahitians in your future??? Happy new week, Douglas! And yes, this year is flying by. I love my summers, so I am never thrilled when fall starts creeping in.

Little h earrings with a strand of Tahitians from a big PP Tahitian sale around 14-15 years ago! Several years ago, I went through and changed a lot of my strands to orbit clasps so I could extend them to different lengths. I find that I rarely extend them anymore, so all the ball clasps that I took off the older strands are now reused on newer strands.

 

[CortezPearls]

The earrings and the necklace are just made for each other...gorgeous shapes and colors, green with envy! Just needed to throw that punchline there. Love them greens!

So gorgeous jeg! Sigh, you have the absolute best Tahitian collection. I am away from home right now but when I get back I may have some Rikitea's and a couple of Raroia pearls to string that are lighter in color.

 

[BWeaves]

JEG: Love your circled pearls with the little h earrings.

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much, CatMom and BWeaves! Oooo, CatMom, I am looking forward to seeing your new Tahitians! I didn’t wear mine as much during the summer, but I have been pulling them out the past couple weeks. Thank you for your kind compliment!! I pulled out my Rikitea pearls, too, but mine are dark.

Love your lowbrow pearls, lol. I like the color a lot and the drop pearl.

 

[jeg]

Those Tahitians look wonderful on you, Marlakins! Nice find!!
Thanks, CatMom! Your new T’s are going to make a great bracelet! I love to play with loose pearls and decide how to arrange them. Looks like fun!

Seaglass Tahitian necklace from Kojima, with a tiny keshi chain and earrings I made.

 

[BWeaves]

Gorgeous pearls, everyone!!!! Especially JEG's Sea Glass necklace. The one that got away.

Sooooo, I just got off a Zoom with Hisano, and I bought another little h pendant. It's a ruby Grotto. I've always wanted a seed pearl one, but the ruby just popped off the screen. I really think the emeralds look the best, but I already have the best emerald little h pendant, so I knew I had to do a different gemstone. Everything Hisano showed me was soooooo pretty, that I felt guilty telling her to put them aside, and just keep certain ones out.

Of course I had to wear my emerald little h pendant and tin-cup for the Zoom call. Pearls of Joy baroque freshwater metallic drops on Mom's diamond hoops.
