Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[theseventhsphinx]

Thanks so much, TriciaS and BWeaves! I chose that particular strand because of the composition of shapes, so I’m glad they have appeal to you, too!

Oh JEG, I love your Bubbles strand. Another one I dithered on too long, and it was gone.

Oooo, mailman just brought me some 10 mm Tahitian studs from Sarah at Ocean's Cove. Bright green peacock with hot pink overtones. Very shiny. My photo doesn't capture the colors. All my pearl studs are 9 mm. And my Tahitians are all mismatched, black and white, which I love. But now that my lobes have gotten used to 9 mm, I'm experiencing PSS and wanted larger studs that matched.

I really need to quit buying stuff at the end of the year, but the discounts around X-mas are too good to pass up.

@BWeaves the color on these studs is super pretty! The really bright emerald green is very appropriate for the holidays, too!

What was supposed to be a trace of snow earlier this week ended up being a bit of a dumping of heavy wet snow with flurries continuing to cover the ground. I’ve been out on foot not wanting to take my car out, especially in the early morning ice.

Wearing a very special prototype strand of high luster golden SS’s from the PP “golden” Ruckus. The studs are natural white Akoya from Takahashi Pearl.

@jeg pearls are so good with a cozy sweater! This golden champagne strand is a stunner. You have inspired me to do pearls + sweater looks all winter

Happy Happy 2023 to the Pearl-Guide Family.

And thank you for sharing all your beautiful pearls with us, look regularly, log in irregularly...
Love it!

Thanks so much theseventhsphinx! Please share your pearls + sweater looks. You are such a fashionista, I am sure it will not be just a sweater with pearls! Happy 2023 to you, Happy Huku! I am happy to see you stop by!

Tiny pearls with peridot and turquoise earrings from Hawaii, with tiny chains I made.

Thank you all for the cake love! It is not really a traditional cake but a family friend is a French patissier and we always order this cake from him for the holidays, not too sweet and irresistible even after all the more traditional courses;-)

I have a few new pearls to share but the light is terrible so I only have this one decent pic, a mix of older and new pearls - Kamoka, Collins, CMW (the new pearl) Takahashi akoya and Druzy...on a gold wire. I have about 10 pearls full drilled to 2,5mm so I can wear them on different chains and play with combinations. I just love seeing all the different colors!

 

[BWeaves]

I love everything! Happy New Year!

Oh no, Katbran, I hope you are recovering! What a way to spend the holidays… Thanks so much navigupta- I appreciate the compliment!

It‘s been a flurry of activity for the holidays and I have not been able to get to pics at all. Here’s just one party pic from New Year’s Eve. A pearly flower brooch from Kojima worn on my shoes.

Hi everyone! I’m a newbie here on the forum, but i wanted to show that young guys can wear pearls too!

Here’s a few of my collection:
This one is my Jewelmer GSS paired with a selenite floater necklace

The next one is a long strand of 11-13mm ringed white FWs. Sometimes i wear them with FW studs, and, for fun i like to layer them with a strand of undyed coral beads that i have

Lastly, are a strand i made of dyed black rice pearls that i wear with small edison studs

 

[StevieBoy]

Great idea!

This ring is awesome! Do you mind giving us a bit more info about it?

 

[jeg]

Happy New Year to you, too, navigupta!

Welcome to the forum, StevieBoy, and thank you for sharing all your great looks! Yes, all guys can wear pearls, but you really rock the look with your addition of layers and studs!

Eolian, what a neat idea with all your interchangeable pearls= endless combinations. Such a nice way to highlight special pearls.

Blue Akoya keshi pearl chain from Kojima, with a Tahitian pendant from Katbran. Grey Akoya studs from Takahashi, and two bracelets I made. The dangle bracelet has tiny blue Tahitian pearls and the tin cup is made with silver blue baroque Akoya.

Thank you! My dream strand & aesthetic is to have a strand of tahitians like Jason Momoa often wears.

Im planning on treating myself to a nice long strand of nice Edisons this year.

I love your beautiful Akoya strand and your kiki earrings.

Thank you, StevieBoy! Happy New Year to you, too, Lilpearl! I hope you’ll post more pics! I haven’t been taking very many pics as I haven’t been home in decent daylight. These pics are from late last month-

All Akoya pieces from Takahashi. The blue strand is off-round and all the other pieces are classic rounds.

Thank you! Gosh those akoyas are stunning!

I’ll post more pics once i get more pieces i dont have many pearls at the moment, but ive been plotting and planning

I want a nice 32 inch rope of metallic edisons or tahitians first, and then maybe after that i’d like to have a triple strand of smaller akoyas.

 

[StevieBoy]

i got a freebie of dyed chinese freshwaters this Christmas. It wasnt enough to fit around ky neck, so i strung them up with some spare quartz beads i had from a broken bracelet

 

[eolian pearls]

Lovely lovely akoyas @Lilpearl and @jeg!!! Pearls from Cees never disappoint and Takahashis’ glow is incredible!

@StevieBoy welcome to the forum and compliments on your pearls! “Plotting and planning to get more pearls”...that’s me ever since I discovered this site;-)))

I have a few new pieces from the wonderful @Katbran that I haven‘t posted yet.
I had my first gem luster SSP from Katbran that was originally planned for the Takahashi net pendant but I couldn’t just hide it there so I inquired about another (smaller) gem luster pearl. Kathleen delivered again and I couldn’t be happier with the dainty look of the pendant! And I love how the SSP looks with my Takahashi akoyas too! Happy happy happy!!!

I also happened to stumble upon Katbran’s amazing 15mm circle Robert Wan peacock T that is a dream come true...Unfortunately the light has been terrible for the last month so no “in action pic“ to do these pearls justice yet.

Wishing everyone a lovely end of the week!
