Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[eolian pearls]

Thank you echo! WOW your pearls look amazing even in your “not great quality” photos! They must be absolutely gorgeous IRL!!! The silver petals are perfect for those colorful Robert Wan and your blue akoyas have the most incredible luster and ohhh the pink flashes...How big are these and if you want to share who is the vendor?

Thank you Cathy, Charlotta, eolian and echo! Charlotta, your double bracelets look so nice together! Eolian, I really love the mix of color and shapes you put together with the leather cord. It’s a perfect drape on your neck, too! Echo, those are great photos! I can even see the soap bubble effect that blue Akoya display but is too difficult to capture in pics. I especially love the petal findings you used for the posts.

I just finished this beaded strand using some of the new shells I collected with predatory drill holes. I put it on to take a couple quick pics.

Thank you jeg, Eolian, Charlotta and Echo so much for your kind words! And oh wow, so many beautiful pearls and lovely looks this past week - I am really enjoying getting caught up...

jeg Love the Sanibel scallop earrings you made, and I really like the new piece you're wearing today - it's very unique and delicate. Gorgeous freshadamas, too, and so many incredible Tahitian studs and keshis!
eolian pearls Your light peacock tahitian is simple and perfect. Such luster! And your lovely dreamy rainbow necklace. You've inspired me to start wearing some of my older neglected pieces - it's fun to see them again and remember the fun of buying/making/inheriting them in the first place
Charlotta2.0 Lovely wrist shot! Your bracelet pairing is really lovely and those colors are so amazing!
echo Oh my gosh, your blue akoyas are tdf! I'm practically drooling, haha. The colors and luster are fantastic! I also really like your upgraded RW drops; the flower findings are very pretty and really showcase the pearls.

Wearing an ombre SS drop from JNB gems today.

Thank you echo and jeg and SurfnSci. I love those colors together.
Your rainbow leather necklace is such a happy piece eolian pearls and so very pretty
echo gorgeous akoyas, they have an amazing luster. Your redesigned earrings looks great on you, those tahitian pearls are stunning and looks great with the akoyas
Nice shells jeg. Are those drillholes all made by other animals? And what kind of animal?
SurfnSci your south sea necklace is beautiful, that pearl has great luster.

Thank you SurfnSci and Charlotta! What a pretty and delicate necklace, SurfnSci. Did you assemble the piece yourself? Charlotta, I am not sure what type of sea creature the drill holes were made by, but they must feast on these because there are piles of these shells on the beach. Very convenient location for the drill holes, too.

I have not worn any goldens for a while... Two of my favorites together. Golden ombré rope from PP, with the special mixed golden strand of matched pairs from “The Golden” PP Ruckus. Worn with earrings I made with Burmese golden SS pearls.

Those goldens are among my favorites jeg, so beautiful. Those shell drilling animals aught to be tamed, for pearl drilling. Probably woun't happen, but shells are pretty hard.

Thank you eolian pearls, jeg, SurfnSci and Charlotta!

eolian pearls this strand was purchased from Etsy shop flowerjem. They are 9-10mm in size

jeg the new silver findings were actually made by my jeweller. Very hard to find ready-made unique findings for pearls

 

[BWeaves]

So many lovely looks. Thank you for sharing photos, everyone!

[lisa c]

Oh, you guys! You’ve all put up some beautiful photos! Wow, wow, wow!

Douglas, I hope it’s a happy move for you all!

 

[SurfnSci]

jeg Your mixed and ombre golden strands are stunning, wow! And I love the earrings! And thanks for your kind words - I did do the wire wrapping for my ombre SS lariat, but the rest of the necklace was repurposed

I have been in a golden mood for the holidays, and I've always wanted to decorate a small tree with a GSS rope garland! I wonder if anyone has done this? Perhaps someday, when I have enough pearls to try, haha.

Happiest of holidays to everyone!!! And best wishes for a happy, pearl-filled New Year!

 

[jeg]

Thank you, Charlotta, BWeaves, LilPearl, Lisa and SurfnSci!

Douglas, I wish you a happy New Year in your new home!

SurfnSci, I have done a little decorating with pearls. The strands can get a little heavy for a small tree. I have also used big pendants to hang as ornaments.

A couple of my friends treated me to afternoon tea. I love this place! The decor is full of whimsy. Wearing a Kojima Japanese Akoya and Tahitian rope with grey Akoya studs from Takahashi Pearl. I took the Pearl pics outside- kinda dark...

Happy Holidays to you, too, SurfnSci! And to ALL of you! Ha, lilPearl, I would actually like a rod and reel. but would prefer pearls...

 

[CortezPearls]

Happy Holidays!

 

[eolian pearls]

Thank you for all the beautiful pearl candy everyone Wishing you wonderful holidays and much glowing pearly joy in your days.

I am wearing my early Christmas present, a custom akoya necklace from Simply Adorned with pearls from Paradisepearls Thailand. Margaret has one button GSSP that was just perfect for this piece, I am very very happy with it!

 

[Charlotta2.0]

jeg, that teashop looks amazing, and the pearls are gorgeous as well of course.
Pretty tincup eolian pearls. I have been busy for short period of times this weekend trying my hand at other wirewrapped things, like pendants were there is no drillhole in the gemstone and a weird little pendant holder. I oxidized them with hardboiled eggs....I am going to try to make a chain as well and some clasps but need more silver wire and some new plyers. I take it slow or else my eyes protest. I did have all that unexpected time on my hand since we had to cancell all christmas gatherings du to covid and ordinary colds (we are fine, it's everyone else). No use feeling down, best to take that time and learn something new. I did buy myself a christmas present (we only buy presents to the childen). So I did order a green tahitian strand and a blue green tahitians bracelet from cmw pearls that arrived really fast. I added some of the greener tahitians from the bracelet to th strand, since I prefer them to be around 20 inches (hates things close to my neck, as polosweaters ick). I was going to add the pearls to my stash since I'm always short on especially green pearls, but they were so pretty I had to string them right up (as soon as there were natural light that is). It's a pretty forest green color, some green cherry as well. But it's a pretty peacock. A great christmas present from self! Here I am writing away...Merry christmas and Happy Holidays to you all.

Kojima is having a 30% off flash sale until the end of 2021. I think my finger just slipped and bought the multi strand keshi necklace with the sapphire clasp. I've been staring at this necklace for months. I want to see it in person.

Oh noes! My finger just slipped again. Emerald and keshi necklace with gator clasp. I think it would look good with my littleH pendant.

Somebody make me stop.

OH! My wayward loom just showed up! Who knows where it's been traveling for the last 3 months. Tracking says it made it from California to Florida in 3 days (1-Oct-2021), but it finally got delivered this week (27-Dec-2021). I just warped it up with it's first project and I love it. Now I have to plan the pearl fiber project. Probably a shawl or scarf.

Akoya Keshi Torsade...would love to see it in person!
