Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Sanippy]

The seventh sphinx - your Tahitian studs are TDF. I also love your rings.

Lmgarden - stunning, stunning kamokas!! They work so well together! I have a couple of small Kamoka pendants which I love wearing individually as they are now. If PSS struck I was planning on converting them to a charm bracelet but you've given me a new idea!

Wearing my new bracelet which I made last night. This is my first attempt at wire wrapping pearls! Definitely not perfect, but I'm happy with the result.

Hey..that looks pretty dang good, Hanadama! Much better than my first attempt at wire-wrapping for sure. And i love the three pearls together like that on a cord, lmgarden. Very very wearable for everyday.

 

[CathyKeshi]

lmgarden, what a clever and delightful way to wear 3 pendants!

 

[lmgarden]

Oooooo Hanadama your bracelet is do lovely - beautiful work! Someday I hope to learn!

Thank you, Katbran, Lary007 and CathyKeshi! One can never go wrong with Kamoka pendants!

 

[ckrickett]

adore that bracelet Hanadama! I think you did a beautiful job

 

[theseventhsphinx]

Thanks, BWeaves, funky_pearl, and hanadama! lmgarden, I second CathyKeshi's comment, such a great idea to combine pendants like this.

FrostMe, I completely agree re: 11mm, I find them just right, at least for my style right now! They feel and look big, generous, but aren't so heavy that they feel uncomfortable or cause any distortion.

 

[Frost Me]

Oh thank you! That's so sweet!

Yes, I meant to comment many posts ago too! Pretty.

New butterfly necklace, earrings & bracelet set I made last year when I started my weight loss Journey. Working on some new ones. Have not finished them or working on me yet. Cheers!

Ash, I love turquoise and pearls! Cuteness abounds.

 

[Marianne]

Hi Ash. I always think of you when I see a monarch butterfly

 

[Wex]

Can anyone tell me if this can be considered as a type of pearl. These were found inside of a giant clam. My friend currently have 2 of these. one 32 KGS and the other one 29 KGS. If these are true pearls, how much do you think will be the value of these?

Thanks!

 

[theseventhsphinx]

Aww, Ash these are adorable!

 

[JerseyPearl]

What a cute set with the turqs and little pearls.

And hanadama, you did an excellent job with your wire wraps! Can't wait to see what else you will make.

 

[Ash]

Awe Thank you Everyone. I know I have not been around, I am still doing pearl stuff. Health had to take precedence. Will make better effort to pop by from time to time.


Cheers

It looks like another clam, to me.

Yes, Wex, this is a shell. NOT a pearl.

I'm trying to mix up my pearl combinations. Today I tried something I haven't tried together before.

My diamond huggies with my baroque blue drops from Kojima.

With my druzy pendant with the button pearl on 2 cables. The black and white druzy just sparkles like crazy, but looks dead in still photos.

With Gustav Klimt.

I didn't think the blue pearls went with the necklace which has a white pearl, but the blues matched the bottom of my shirt, and the necklace matched the painted lady's clothing.

 

[lary007]

Your style is too cool, bweaves!

 

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

There are too many colors in nature to always be matchy-matchy. I think your look works really well.
I really like when ladies add versatility to the hoops they own, pearls and gem drops are always appreciated lol!

I am so far behind on this thread. SO many great looks, and that baby chick is just too cute!

Today's pearls include a 23" strand of 10-13mm FW drop pearls in shades that range from deep purple to petal pink, purchased from Sarah of Kojima at the 2016 Ruckus, 10-11 mm smooth drop lavender FW pearls on WG pave hoop settings from Pearl Paradise (purchased 2 years -- I got lucky that the earring pearl color is in the strand), and a SOC pave ring from Sarah at the 2016 Ruckus.

"Tundra" nail polish by CND Vinylux is a pinkish lavender color that goes great with purple & pink shades of FW pearls, as well as SOC pearls.

Yesterday, I decided to try a new look with my "Loot 2" multi-color Tahitian strands from Pearl Paradise at the 2014 Ruckus. I linked the 2 strands together with the Orbit clasps, then used the other clasp end to create a Y lariat (inspired by the Gellner Mermaid necklace).
