Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[jeg]

I posted some blue Akoya last week and mistakenly listed the stud earrings as my large baroque Akoya pair, but I realized they were a pair of the round grey studs from Takahashi when I went to grab the actual baroques. Here’s the real pair of large baroque Akoya (very roundish) from Takahashi Pearl, worn with an Akoya wave strand from Hawaii, and a strand I knotted with multicolored Vietnamese Akoya from the Hong Kong show.

Love those blues, especially the wave necklace!

Thank you so much, 86C! It’s a fun piece and nice and light.

You've had so many gorgeous pearls and dresses this week, Jeg!!! Love your Baggins strand and your Kojima GSS. Your Takahashi akoya strand is amazing - it looks so lovely paired with those drop earrings and the colors in your dress!

 

[jeg]

Thank you so much, SurfnSci! I do tend to live in dresses, but this is more casual since I was trying to get some work done. The necklace didn’t last too long because of that. A carved amethyst from Druzy. Celeste (Kamoka) added the little Kamoka keshi for me. The macrame bracelet is also from Kamoka, the grey Akoya studs are from Takahashi Pearl, and I made the pearl chain with strands from Kojima.

Such a lovely casual look, jeg. Love the little blue pearl necklace....Akoya?

 

[86Corvettegirl]

It's an Akoya day. Blue Akoya rope paired with small multi color Akoya rope & blue Akoya & Sapphire briolette earrings.

Now that is a cool, rare combo! You could walk into 20 jewelry stores and they would probably tell you 20 different things.

Dreary day with rain & thunderstorms so I decided to bring out some golden sunshine to brighten things up. PP Akoya Keshi necklace with a David Norman GSS diamond enhancer. Golden shoulder dusters a la Purranha ( thanks for letting me copy the style.) & the golden sister ring to my favorite Tahitian ring.

 

[Marlakins]

Since I enjoy this thread so much, posting what I am wearing this lovely summer day -- cornflake freshwaters, I believe, but not sure

 

[jeg]

I remember those shoulder dusters, 86C, and Purr’s as well. Love them! I also really like that delicate Akoya necklace and your fanciful nails! So happy you decided to join us, Marlakins!!! They are called several things, and cornflake pearls would be one of them. They look great on you! A perfect length and fun to have the clasp in front. I hope you will share more of your collection!

Wearing a tiny cowrie, coral, and keshi necklace with a vintage gold heart clasp from Kojima, an Akoya tin cup I made, and peachy golden studs from Katbran.

Yes, Jeg, I really enjoy wearing the shoulder dusters, especially in the hot humid summer months! I wish PP would offer the keshi necklaces again in a longer length....maybe a 20 inch for layering. They're light & versatile; perfect for hanging pendants & enhancers. Love those peachy studs & Akoya tin cup!

 

[jshepherd]

I love what you did with the keshi!

 

[jeg]

Thanks, 86C! I made the little Akoya tin cup with extra pearls I had from my multicolored strand and I am surprised how much I wear it.

A large golden SS keshi strand from Takahashi Pearl, with a golden SS ombré rope from PP, and tiny seed pearl earrings from little h. The goldens kind of lit up in the sun. They are a deeper gold than in the clothes pic. Really, that tends to happen in all my pics as I can’t capture the color so far away.

Your Goldens are glorious, Jeg. Beautiful colors. I have 2 Tahitian strand & now I'd like a golden rope or a mixed golden & white SS strand. I'll check PP to see what they have. With the economy, I'm really watching my spending, tho.

Sharing my newest additions. My first Tahitian Pearl studs & a Light Champagne SSP Strand from Jewelmer. Love layering them. Also sharing how I like to wear my SSP bracelets. Loved catching up with everyones beautiful pieces. Enjoy the rest of your week! Cheers!

 

[jeg]

Everything is very beautiful, mantan09! It’s all gorgeous, but I think what really caught my eye was the simple charm bracelet with the one golden pearl charm. I love that!

Thank you, Marlakins and 86C! I think a golden or mixed strand would look great on you 86C. I don’t have anything on my current wishlist and have been thinking I need to cut back, but it always ends up being a passing thought. I am currently patiently waiting for a package from Takahashi! What can I say…

Wearing a strand of metallic freshwater pearls (extended), with a pearl medley strand, both from Kojima, and sapphire and diamond earrings and ring from Hawaii.

Love them, Jeg. Yes, I am waiting on a Tahitian silver charm bracelet I ordered from Hawaii. Should be here in a couple of weeks. LOL Just couldn't myself.
