Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

Feeling the blues again today. Intensely blue baroque akoyas in a very large size 10-13.7 mm from Pearl Paradise Live event last month.

Visiting Dad today wearing Mom's pearls. Mom's akoya ring and ring pin. My freshwater drops from Kojima on my own huggies.

Comparing my Hanadama studs to my baroque akoya necklace from PP. From a short distance, they match really well. Up close, the Hanadamas have a perfect surface texture, while the baroque pearls are slightly off round and have a bumpy surface. But the baroques have much thicker nacre than the Hanadamas. The luster, though!!! Equivalent.

CFW studs & vintage CFW pearls with Toho beads I’ve had in my craft supplies for 20 years and some silver findings. It’s great to be able to remake some old stuff into things I can wear without concern for whatever bad fate they might meet. Like too much perfume 🫣
