Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[Tiger]

My haul from PP's 3 day black friday event. I love them! Especially the earrings! (which for some reason resisted being in focus). Oh and my ombre Tahitians/SS from Na Hoku (pic was very early morning, no apologies lol). Just noticed that the earrings had some lint on them. oops! I didn't include my studs in the pics since they were setting on posts at the time. However, they too, are beautiful!

PS Now I am a long term resident of Ban Island....

Beautiful choices! I hear you on the Ban Island thing....of course, I keep paddling away from it whenever it gets boring.

Lovely as always! Thank you for all of your help! I went to view your IG post. It isn't working correctly. At least, I can't see it.

Good to know about my IG post. It seems like some people can see it and some can't. I'm even having a hard time seeing it. I don't know what the issue is.

BBAs today. There's nothing like the luster of BBAs. Let's see if this IG post works, because the luster looks so much better in motion.

Tanzanite and Tahitians are a combination I didn’t know I needed, these look fantastic!!


I came here to post about a pearl and gemstone combination that I recently had made: 17mm pink FW, lab pink sapphire and set in 925 sterling silver. It’s a fun ring!

Oh, that is one splashy ring, Pomelo! It looks beautiful on you!

Great choices from the Live events, Shani! I love the earrings, too!

The last day of pearl watching on Hawaiian television-
A couple pendants-

Tahitian stud earrings-

A Tahitian ring-

A Tahitian ring and two strands-

And I tried to capture this one while following this person across the street. The colors got washed out, but she was wearing a knotted Tahitian bracelet and a tin cup bracelet with Tahitians and a heavy link chain. I didn’t catch what the bangle bracelet was.

It’s good to see the Hawaiian Tahitian appreciation.

beautiful pearls!
@Pomelo so curious about the story behind that ring! What type of pearl is it, and how is it possible for it to be that size? Is it common for that type of pearl, or is it rare? Super unique!

It’s my 10th wedding anniversary today, so please indulge me with a look back at my wedding pearls.

The strand necklace was my “something new” - a wedding gift from my husband, given that day. The studs were my “something old” - earrings given to me by my grandmother many years prior. The double strand bracelet was my “something borrowed” - my mom’s bracelet given to her by my dad the first Christmas after I was born.

Those are gorgeous! What is the length and the mm size for the necklace and earrings? They look so classy and elegant. Also, the picture looks like it was taken from a movie! @PearlyLibrarian

@PearlyLibrarian, Happy Anniversary!
Lovely photo and lovely pearls!

Everything Bagel rope and 2 pendants worn on my own earring hoops, all from Kojima pearl. The long rope has every kind of pearl in it. Lot's of blue and pistachio baroque akoya pearls. White and golden South Sea pearls. 4 large, smooth pink and lavender freshwater Kasumi pearls. 4 nugget shaped Tahitian keshi from Kamoka Pearl. Winter Snowman and Summer Rainbow pendants on my earrings. All worn with a T-shirt and sweatpants, because pearls should not be saved for your formal clothes.

Time to restring my 22" strand of BBAs from Pearls of Joy. I should never have let them get this bad.

One of the pearls has a bad drill hole. You can see space between the pearl nacre and the bead nucleus. It's not noticeable when strung, so I'm not removing the pearl from the strand.

@PearlyLibrarian, Happy 10th Anniversary! It's a joy to have you share your beautiful memory and lovely pearls.

The right earring has a beautiful pink tone! It's so unique, is it a natural tone? Also those BBAs are stunning!

@BWeaves

Yes, all the colors are natural. No dye. The Summer Rainbow pendant that I'm wearing as an earring has a lovely pastel rainbow coloring. All the colors of the rainbow in horizontal stripes. But it mostly reads as peachy pink from a distance.

Thank you! I actually have no idea . I have never measured them. I recently ordered a caliper though, so I’ll have to fine out …

Anniversary pearls part deux: present day.
For our dinner out (the first one in over a year!) I brought out the goldens.

My pearly ambitions are currently a bit beyond my tax bracket, which is why I appreciate that Misha mixes baroque south sea goldens with “Demi-fine” gold fill jewelry for some of her pieces, so the GSS experience is a little more accessible. Ombré golden trio necklace, golden drop earrings, golden ombré keshi bracelet (I believe this one was a one off design), white Edison bangle, and two-tone golden bypass ring (stacked with a thin gold bamboo band, which in hindsight I would have worn on different fingers instead of stacked). This is pretty much as “blinged out” as I get! The pearls are on the small side for SS, and the quality does vary, but they are pretty nonetheless and very fun to wear.

Ive really been wanting some interesting, different pearl jewelry so I took a $6 thrifted fwp necklace and added some baroque Edison’s from Uodora and a few gold beads and poof! A fun, interesting necklace. I love it! That stringing tutorial has really helped me

Good on you. It is satisfying isn't it? I think that is/was the beauty of CFW pearls - they were affordable and you could experiment with different beads, not necessarily precious, to come up with different designs.

Happy Anniversary, PearlyLibrarian! What a beautiful photo with your memorable and meaningful pearls. I also really love all your golden SS pieces. They all look so fantastic on you!

The pendant earrings go perfectly with your everything bagel necklace, BWeaves!

Very fun, Mary-Contrary! I love the creativity in being able to make your own pieces.

Tahitian ring from a Hong Kong show, earring jackets I made with tiny Tahitians from Alex Collins, and two Tahitian strands I put together.
