eolian pearls I adore that tin cup - fabulous colours on the pearls, and the proportions of the chain are just right. I’ve never wanted a tin cup before, but I’m definitely considering it now…

So happy to see you back with your beautiful pearls, SydK!
eolian, I’m delighted you liked my tin cup idea, and yours turned out beautifully!
Wow, SurfnSci, that is a killer color! Looks wonderful in your ring.
Congratulations KauaiAnne!! Wishing you much happiness and joy together!
Even though Pearls By The Bay was postponed, a few of us diehards decided to keep our reservations and meet up for a Kojima/Pacific Pearls rendezvous. Sunseeker and I met up in San Francisco, and toured around the city for a few days. It could not have been a nicer week to be in the Bay Area. Warm, clear blue skies, and quiet streets after the summer rush. We met up with Pattye, AzFlyGirl, and a few other friends at the Kojima Studio later in the week.
Grrr… I am using a new iphone and the photos are not uploading

Well, I was able to upload one pic from my iPad. Will try to post photos from the studio visit in the members’ other thread later.

That giant "fireball" is stunning SydK the necklace is gorgeous too...love the rondelles in-between the pearls too, adds a nice flair
And wow...just when we are kind of tired of Summer and waiting for Winter, you are now heading into the steamy portion of your year!
Hey jeg those copper discs are interesting, if you had not told us their origin, I would have thought they are mother-op-pearl buttons from the Mabe-gai oyster. They add an interesting look to the earrings. Love your chain with beautiful keshi and pearls...specially love those blue ones!
Have a blessed weekend everyone

Thanks, SydK and Charlotta! SydK, I love silvery white Tahitians, and yours look wonderful on you! Charlotta, in two words, “Too many!” 
That was one of my pandemic hobbies and I was totally entertained!
A favorite little pair of Akoya earrings. My parents brought these back from a trip to Japan many, many years ago. I am amazed they did not get lost after rolling around in several jewelry boxes and many moves over the years. Worn with a coppery/pink/green metallic strand from Pacific Pearls.

Well jeg I have quite a number of fun bracelets, not sure how many. I did make 10 Happy bracelets over the summer...such pretty akoya earrings. I have been wearing smaller studs for months, very comfortable. Sometimes they doesn't even match my strands, there are so many colors in my bracelets that it doesn't matter anyway. Those lavender blue freshwater pearls that I finally drilled the broken findings out of have gotten a lot of use.
I have even worn them with golden south sea pearls.
I love your silvery white Tahitians too. I think silver Tahitians are really underrated. They are absolutely beautiful in their own wayThanks Douglas, Jeg, Echo and Charlotta.
Echo, I really like silver Tahitians, too - but then, I like all Tahitians, especially baroque ones.
Jeg, you have so many wonderful pearls that I’d forgotten about these coppery freshwaters. The colour is glorious. And those akoya earrings are so sweet - how fortunate the didn’t get lost.
This was my first strand of Tahitians, and is still a favourite. They have a few blemishes, but the size, colour and lustre more than make up for that.
