Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[BWeaves]

JEG, please keep posting. I love the way your mix and match your pearls and your outfits. I don't care if there's a repeat, because I won't remember it's a repeat.

I didn't get a chance to post my last few pearl outings. Yesterday it was white linen and 38 year old pearls. My choker, which I designed and had a jeweler make for my wedding. And PP lengthened it for me a couple years ago so it now sits around the base of my neck instead of like a high dog collar. The white gold clasp purposefully does not match the yellow gold with the cameo. At the time I had the necklace made, I had long hair, and I could wear either the cameo at the front or the clasp at the front, for two completely different looks. My hair hid whichever was at the back of my neck. Now I have very short hair, and I always wear the cameo in the front.

My ruby heart drops which were a present from my Mom, from Mayor's Jewelers. Mom's akoya ring, and a Kojima coin pearl ring with ruby floret.

Today it's La Perlagrina from Kamoka, and 10 mm Tahitian studs from Ocean's Cove. I love the flower bail and the rainbow colors of the perfect drop shaped pearl.

Thanks so much, SteveM, 2thdktr and BWeaves. You guys are too kind. I feel redundant so just start giving me the rolly eyes when you’ve had enough!

Such pretty, sentimental pieces, BWeaves! And those Tahitians look great together!

JEG there is no way from where I am sitting halfway across the world, that you are redundant. Inspirational and definitely aspirational yes - redundant no! I love the outfits and pearls that you put together. I don't often say much but a little sigh usually escapes me as I gaze upon what you have put together for the day. Also, your wire wrapping is I think the best that I have seen. We need a tutorial from you please.

I agree wholeheartedly with them!

Thank you so much Pella and Douglas. Everyone is so sweet, but it’s good to have a reality check now and then since I post so much And thank you for such a high compliment about the wire-wrapping. I love to wrap, but it’s pretty much self-taught so I have no idea how conventional my approach is.

 

[CatMom]

You are the sweetest, CatMom! I‘m becoming more reluctant to post so much because I’m just repeating the same pearls.

Are you kidding me? We all live for your posts, lol. I love to see all the various combinations you come up with. Please do not ever stop or slow down!

At the risk of sounding redundant: jeg your posts bring sunshine to a gray day! And Bweaves, La Perlagrina is lovely to look at however many times I see it. Some day I hope to see it in person!

 

[jeg]

Oh CatMom, I repeat… you are the sweetest! And you, too, Linda! Thank you both!

Wearing the same set of pearls twice. Two pieces from Alex Collins- a strand of tiny Tahitians and a harvest mix rope, with earrings I made.

Jeg, love your look today. Your posts/pics are always a joy to read - pearls, style inspo, anecdotes, factoids, behind the scenes, travel shots!!! As everyone else has said, please never stop posting!!! Perhaps we as a forum need to start a request list for pictures of your pieces - I can think of sooo many of your pearls just off the top of my head that always give me an extra burst of excitement to see (blue Collins and Cortez strands, I'm especially thinking of you!)

BWeaves, gorgeous pearls, and I especially love your unique cameo choker, wow!

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much SurfnSci! I will pull those strands out and take some pics in the next few days!

Blue Tahitian necklace and studs from Alex Collins. The one of a kind ring was created around a cultured abalone pearl from the first harvest at Atacama Pearls in Chile.

And an old pic I pulled up-

Wearing my Collins tiny Ts strand from @pearlescence and a freshwater rice pearl ring. I recently bought a 6ct moissanite tilted pear ring from a second-hand app (Vinted) and it’s so fun and blingy!

The freshwater ring is so easy to wear as well: I like it both standalone and also stacked with a simple band.

 

[jeg]

Very fun and blingy Pomelo! Your FW ring reminds me to dig for some stretchy FW rings I bought in Hawaii almost 20 years ago! I like the delicate little white pearl band of yours’ though.

A SS rope and a large Tahitian pendant from Kojima, and a pearl chain I strung with tiny Vietnamese Akoya.

 

[SteveM]

Beautiful! That drop seemingly combines and reflects the Akoya multicolors. Great lustre throughout.

 

[jeg]

Thanks so much, SteveM! It’s a really cool drop that can go from a white to silvery bluish.

All pieces I put together. Earrings and a necklace made of SS Myanmar pearls and keshi, and a short chain with Vietnamese Akoya.

Best thread ever!!! It helps me decide what I like and all the different options, including different ways to wear them. Repeats are good as I can see how pearls go with different outfits or mixed with different pearls.

Ooh this large Tahitian drop is delightful @jeg !

Such a beautiful shape and colour. Would you have the dimensions for it at all?

 

[jeg]

Please show and tell, A Breaker!!

Thanks, Pomelo! I don’t have specifics for the Tahitian, but I have a big golden SS drop (also from Kojima) that I know is 15mm x 18mm, and the Tahitian is a little bigger. I took a comparison pic and also pulled up a couple old pics of the T showing the different coloring in different lighting.

Both are so gorgeous!

Today I'm wearing two of my very favorites, Tahitians and opals.
