Too hot for ropes of pearls today. Mikimoto earrings. Coin pearl ring and The Queen pendant from Kojima.

Thanks so much for the kind compliment, BWeaves. Back at you!! I love that pendant!

Ah! Everyone's pearls are fantastic. I've been very crafty lately so I may or may not have taken a few screenshots of a few of your wonderful things to try my hand at in the future.

These earrings are a crafty project from this weekend. I all of a sudden have been super into vintage and antique Czech and Japanese glass beads. Idk how I end up down these very specific rabbit holes but it is what it is.

I found these new vintage stock tortoise colored Czech glass beads recently and paired them with some larger sized rice shaped freshies from Wenpearls on Etsy. The wire wrapping isn't exactly as I wanted it but that's easily fixed. I was on a time crunch making them.

I do have lots and lots of other beads that I bought so we'll see how many more things I create in the next few weeks before baby is born

SO many pretty pearls today, BWeaves, jeg and lary007!

GSS for me today - ring from PP, pearl bracelet from JNBgems, and keshi bracelet I wire wrapped from Druzy.

 

[jeg]

Oooo, what a teaser lary007! I love the earrings you made and can’t wait to see what you’re up to with your crafty projects!!

Wow, so pretty Surfnsci! I especially love the tin cup you created. It has the perfect presence.

A pearl stuffed seashell necklace from Kojima. Two ropes with pearls from a Hong Kong show- Vietnamese Akoya and SS keshi. SS keshi studs from a PP/Takahashi live event with SS keshi jackets I wrapped.

SurfnSci, gorgeous golds! JEG, gorgeous mixed pearls. I need a stuffed shell. I really should buy one from Kojima. Sarah has some lovely ones on the website right now.

Another hot day. Miki earrings again. Betty Davis' Teeth necklace. I watched a Betty Davis movie right when I bought this necklace, and the pearls and gold beads reminded me of Betty's teeth in that movie. I don't remember which Betty Davis movie it was, though. 100% nacre, freshwater pearls from Kojima. Mom's akoya ring. I never liked the look of the ring until I tried it on. It was so comfortable, that it grew on me.

A pretty medley of whites from vintage to new, BWeaves!

Tahitians I’ve had for a long time. They were actually two strands rearranged into a rope and bracelet. Worn with long dangle earrings I wrapped.

 

[BWeaves]

JEG: Gorgeous. I love unmatched Tahitians so much better than perfectly color matched strands. The colors just pop.

Blue baroque akoya ring from Takahashi in Japan. The ring was my souvenir from my recent Japan trip. Chinese freshwater drops from Kojima Pearl worn on my own huggy hoop earrings. Judy Jetson necklace with Chinese freshwater button pearl and druzy. The druzy is much sparklier in person. Pendant worn on my white and yellow gold cabled chokers.

In honor of last night's Keshi Extravaganza, I'm wearing a 50" Tahitian Keshi tin-cup I bought from Kojima Pearl a long time ago. Some pearls are drops or baroques, but most are keshi. 2 pendants. The small flashy Tahitian is from Kamoka, and the large carved Tahitian is from Kojima. Tahitian stud earrings, 10mm from Ocean's Cove. Sea of Cortez pearl ring from Douglas, set in a PP rose gold Frost setting.

I was also inspired by the PP Keshi event to pull out my white keshis. The dangle earrings are from Katbran. The necklace came from an eBay vendor. It was sold as SS keshis, but I’m not certain that they are. They’re pretty anyway. I’m going to take them to New York and have GIA examine them.

Beautiful stuff BW!

 

[BWeaves]

I'm still in a keshi mood. Chinese Freshwater keshi from Kojima. 40 inch rope of ombre' keshi. Tin-cup and matching earrings. Spring Petals Pendant.

Oh I love those ropes!

Thanks so much, PearlyLibrarian!

Pretty summery pinks, BWeaves!

little h Tahitian and emerald earrings and pendant-

 

[BWeaves]

JEG, those little h pieces are gorgeous!

I'm feeling a bit guilty. I just made a bunch of pearl purchases from PP, Kojima, and Kamoka. Arg! I need to go to Ban Island. I haven't received them yet.

I live vicariously through your purchases! Can't wait to see your new treasures.

Feeling fierce today. Little h souffle' pearls stuffed with reclaimed rubies.

And the Kamoka Tahitian earrings I totally didn't need are here, and I love them. I love mismatched earrings. These are 9-10 mm baroques, and very lightweight on the earlobe. Rose gold.
