Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Shani]

Wearing my hanadama pearls at home, to keep them hydrated

I feel I need some pearls of "less" ($) value, I am so afraid of wearing my Hanadama very often outside
Too much sun, too much sweat, no perfume, no lotion etc

Those glow on you like moonlight on snow!

JEG, love your goldens! But I'm feeling blue today. I can see blue so well now. The blues have become really intense looking to me after the cataract surgery. Vietnamese blue baroque akoyas from PP. Chinese freshwater pendant from Kojima. Mismatched baroque Tahitian earrings from Kamoka.

Fancy colored Tahitians from Kojima. “Bubbles” and sister strand with Tahitian earrings I wrapped.

I've come to really love bubble style strands rather than perfectly matched or graduated ones.

Thanks, BWeaves! I love bubbles, too!

Several years ago, when I wanted to learn how to wire-wrap, I decided to make a continuous chain so I could keep practicing on one piece. I used base metal, faux pearls, and a mix of beads. I’ve been wanting to remake the piece using real pearls and nicer wire, and finally got around to re-creating the necklace.

The original necklace was my first attempt at learning how to wire-wrap. I took the baroque Akoya rope apart to use for the remake. I bought these pearls at an Intergem show a long time ago.

The remake using the baroque Akoya pearls and changing out a few of the beads, plus a little improvement in my wire-wrapping skills after some years of practice. Wearing it with my necklace made of random vintage Akoya from PacificPearlsUS.
