Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

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

My caliper came in, so I can confirm the strand is 7mm! 16 inches.

I’m curious: where do you find pearls at a “thrift” price? Are you shopping consignment stores or what?

The thrift shop by my house and shopgoodwill. Don’t do it unless you’re ok identifying pearls off a few bad pictures and comfortable with how much you spent and you’re wrong & got a faux strand. Prices on that site will come back down after New Years. I have scored some pretty incredible stuff on there for cheap, it’s shocking what turns up at goodwill.

oh so pretty with the cameo! that's some inspiration, right there!

i'm beginning to believe i prefer multicolor strands to single-color. they're all so wonderful!

and thanks - the color shifting is less than i thought, but they were WAYYY on sale, and still quite breathtaking, so it's all good.

Absolutely! The cameo really makes it pop — such a beautiful and inspiring piece. Multicolor strands do have a special charm, and those sound like an amazing find, especially at that price Top 10 UV Resin Kits Reviewed What to Look for Before You Buy (https://bestresincrafts.com/uv-resin-kits/) Top 10 UV Resin Kits Reviewed

I was so tempted by this Fijian strand on yesterday's PP Live Event.

Assael Collection: 10.0–11.7 mm Fijian Pearl Necklace

Bright multicolor Fijian pearl necklace from the Assael collection with oval to drop-shaped pearls in blue, green, and purple tones.

But then I remembered I had a Tahitian strand from my last Ruckus, and it looks very similar. I definitely have a type.

Wow, it’s a beautiful strand, BWeaves. I still need to go in and watch the replay. I’m sure they were all fabulous strands to admire.

Oh, I love those vintage graduated Akoya necklaces, Mary-Contrary. One of these days I’m going to add one to my collection. By the way, I’ll be in Tucson as well. Maybe I can meet you IRL!

Blue Tahitian studs and necklace from Alex Collins. It’s a special necklace that took Alex three years of harvests to put together. Worn with two J. Hunter Fiji pieces- a bracelet and keshi pendant I bought on a trip to Fiji.
