Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[jeg]

Thank you, CatMom and BWeaves!

I think ALL the colors work together, BWeaves! Just about everything goes with that little gemstone and keshi piece.

Happy New Year, Pomelo! Your ring makes quite a statement! It looks beautiful on its own or with all your other pretty bling. Gorgeous!

Ooo, that is an incredible necklace, Linda! I don’t think I’ve seen you wear it and I absolutely love it.

All the blues are fantastic BWeaves. Beautiful!

A bubbly necklace from Kojima with Akoya hoop earrings I bought in Japan a few years ago.

Oh, Linda. YOU got THAT necklace. I was drooling over it and the Tahitian version for a long time.

Going to Dad's today in blues. Intense BBA earrings from PP. BBA ring from Takahashi. It's my souvenir from the Japan pearl farm trip. BBA pendant and necklace of graduated BBAs and tiny white keshi from Takahashi PP Live event. Natural white Hanadama rope. I love wearing these together. I think the white pearls make the blue pearls look bluer.

I LOVE this combination!

After seeing that $1,000,000 SS strand on the last PP/Assael live, I had to wear my 13.6-14.3 mm freshwater strand from Kojima that was a fraction of the price, but gives me the same joy. Baroque freshwater drops on my Mom's earrings. Drops from Pearls of Joy.

Hello pearly girlies and guys! Belated Happy New Year etc!

As usual, loving seeing all of your water treasures! Oddly enough, I haven't worn pearls in a week now Me and my hubby got Covid travelling back from visiting Dad for Christmas. Luckily we got it on the home trip vice on the way there! Feeling more snotty than pearly at the moment.

This new year, I am wondering how long I will survive on ban island before building a raft but the climate here is nice and there are coconuts (when I get my full taste buds back from this mucus beast!).

I hope each and every one of you have a fantastic upcoming year with all of the health and happiness you can possibly cram in!

Happy Thanksgiving! Taking Dad to my brother's house for Thanksgiving. All I have to cook is "show up."

Planet Berna Tahitian pendant and Bali earrings from Kamoka Pearl. Longer Tahitian bubble ombre' necklace from Kojima Pearl. TNT (Tahitians and tourmalines) circled pearls necklace from Ocean's Cove on Etsy.

Handwoven Zanshiori shawl in Tencel yarn. Zanshiori means "mistake weaving" in Japanese, because you're not supposed to weave with knots in the yarn. However, I take the loom waste (the yard long threads that cannot be woven at the end of a project) and tie them all together and use them as weft (the side to side threads) on a different warp (the up and down threads).

Where were you traveling, if I may ask? It helps to know, since official reportage can lag, although I suppose a lag in reporting can be useful to develop statistical trends…

So many blues! Freshwater pearl pendant from Kojima Pearl. 20" Blue baroque akoya strand from Pearls of Joy. Blue baroque akoya dangle necklace from Takahashi and Pearl Paradise. Mismatched Tahitian earrings from Kamoka Pearl.

 

[BWeaves]

Going to Orlando Distaff Day (ODD, because we're all a little odd). Kasumi earrings and Chinese freshwater pearl necklaces from Kojima Pearl. Sea of Cortez ring from Douglas and Frost setting from Pearl Paradise. And I went full cat's eye, glitter, disco ball on my nails because I'm either getting old or I'm 5 years old.

 

[SurfnSci]

I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start! I'm so happy to be able to catch up on all these amazing pearl looks over the last few weeks!

Lake Biwa pearls from Kojima with vintage akoya studs.

 

[BWeaves]

SurfnSci: Gorgeous pearls.

 

[jeg]

Happy New Year to you, too, SurfnSci! I love your Biwa strand!

Tahitian stud earrings from Takahashi, inner Tahitian strand from Kamoka, outer Tahitian strand from Maui Divers, Hawaii.

Akoya, South Sea, and Chinese freshwater pearls. Akoya pearl earrings from Mikimoto. Freshwater pendant, keshi and gold bead necklace, and mixed tin-cup of South Sea, freshwater, and akoya pearls from Kojima Pearl.

 

[BWeaves]

I'm still in a white pearl mood. Freshwater pearls. Coin pearl necklace from Karen Brown Jewelry with Mom's clasp. Feather pearl pendant from Kojima Pearl. Baroque drops from Pearls of Joy on my Mom's earrings. Akoya pearl ring from Mom.

White pearls look great on black clothing, but are impossible to photograph on a black background. My camera is washing out the luster.

 

[SurfnSci]

So sooo pretty, BWeaves! I'm also loving that clasp!

Kasumi necklace I wire-wrapped from Kojima, with baroque akoya earrings made from DruzyDesign.

 

[BWeaves]

SurfnSci, wowza, those Kasumis really glow.

Mix and match pearls for me today. Kasumi pearl pendants on my Mom's earrings. Kasumi pearls are from the last freshwater pearl farm in Japan, and it's run by a single pearl farmer on Lake Kasumi-ga. Huge, rainbow colored, Chinese freshwater pearl pendant. All from Kojima pearl. Tiny golden South Sea keshi and tourmaline custom necklace from Hisano at Pearl Paradise.

My fireballs! I just restrung them. Read someone where someone recommended alternating the pattern. What do you think? Should I redo them to one direction?

This is how they originally came

 

[BWeaves]

I like them alternating.

Enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. Wearing a choker I wire-wrapped with J. Hunter Fiji pearls from my last visit to the PP vault, and blue baroque studs from Takahashi. Aloha!

 

[pattye]

@J.lee Your strand seems to flow nicely alternated like this! You've done a lovely job of stringing, so I'd wear them like this for awhile. You can always restring the later!

 

[pattye]

Jeg, You and Bunny are looking awesome!
