Wow, love this combo of pearls!

I've taken to wearing my 2007 Freshadamas (7-8mm) and 2008 Exotics (8-9mm) together. They are both 18" and have the same gold ball clasp, so are easy to connect end to end.

Yesterday I wore them as one long rope. Today I've arranged them as a two-strand.

 

[BWeaves]

Pearl Dreams: I love how those two necklaces nest.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Thank you, @BWeaves! I don't usually wear two (or three) strands together, but these do seem to fit each other nicely.

Also, while I have long felt that this "silver rose" Freshadama necklace is a bit too warm a white for me, the exotics are also a warm color range, so they seem to go together well.

 

[Merrily]

I've been looking for green, and found these two pistachio Tahitian pendants at OceanRhyme. One is styled like an apple, and the other is on a Y chain.

Here they are on my favorite model, showing that they can be worn together. Dex thinks they bring out his eyes.

Beautiful cat, beautiful pearls.
I had 2 cats with similar coloring, years ago. Both had spicy personalities.

 

[BWeaves]

Merrily: Dex is right.

 

[jeg]

Thanks BWeaves! I love that dangly Akoya necklace!

Merrily… that cat…!!!! Also love your new pendants!

Great statement pieces, Syrie!

Those two strands look so pretty together, Pearl Dreams!

Feather pearl and carved flower earrings from Kojima, a large feather pearl pendant from Fuji at Pacific Pearls, worn on a station chain I made with Akoya keshi from Takahashi, and a bracelet I made with Tahitian keshi.

A real mix of pearls today. Real Kasumi pearl pendants on my earrings from the only pearl farm in Lake Kasumi-ga in Japan (Kojima Pearl and Pearl Paradise). Golden South Sea keshi pearls with tourmaline beads in a wire wrapped necklace (Hisano Shepherd at Pearl Paradise). The Devine Sarah freshwater pearl pendant (Sarah at Kojima Pearl).

 

[jeg]

It’s a great mix, BWeaves! I like all the colors.

Tahitian keshis- a necklace from Alex Collins with earrings and two smaller necklaces I put together.

 

[BWeaves]

Love your Tahitians, JEG.

I'm going to a memorial for a weaving friend's husband today, so I'm wearing a little black dress and white pearls. Mikimoto earrings. My first akoya pearl rope from 1982. My natural white Hanadama rope from Pearl Paradise. Mixed tin-cup of white South Sea pearls, non-bead nucleated freshwater pearls, and small akoya keshi from Kojima Pearl. Mom's akoya ring.

A word about clasps. My two akoya ropes are very good quality pearls, but I cheaped out on the clasps because I wanted to put my money into the pearls. The older, shorter rope has a gold plated clasp with CZs. The Hanadama rope has a white gold clasp with CZs. They sparkle like diamonds and nobody knows the difference except for me.

OOOOO, new pearl earrings from OceanRhyme. I love my white and golden South Sea and Tahitian double drop earrings from OceanRhyme, so I asked Julia if she could make me some blue baroque akoya and Tahitian double drop earrings in a similar look. The colors are even stronger in real life, and the luster is fantastic.
