Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

A “new to me” three strand golden akoya pearl necklace - tiny at 5.5 mm - with all my other golden akoya strands. Such a range of colors. I love them all.

Oh my goodness you should wear all of them at once!

Oh my goodness you should wear all of them at once!

My mother, for one, would approve of that! I have to restrain myself from getting more golden akoyas. They’re such happy, sunny colors - like akoyas with a vacation tan.

Thanks so much MintyFresh! We had a great view of the sunset and I had forgotten to even look for it until the last night.

Oooo, I love golden Akoyas. They are a softer look than white white, and I love your description of the vacation tan. Right up my alley.

Freshwater strand and pecan charms from Kojima. Worn with a tiny keshi chain I wire-wrapped.

Lovely BWeaves. Those colours really suit you.

I love the pretty colors, BWeaves!

A necklace of unusual pastel Tahitian colors from Druzy, and a necklace of vintage Akoya with a FW and tourmaline dangle and feather pearl earrings from Kojima,

BWeaves: The color of your top goes perfectly with this awesome mix of pearls! You look great in pastels! What is that coloration called - spring? summer?

Jeg: I love the colors of that Kojima necklace. It is perfect with the dainty, wire-wrapped keshi! The freshwater and tourmaline dangle is like a busy life - a precarious balancing act. Great symbolism (to me anyway) and such a clever use of a very irregular pearl. The akoyas have a wonderful luster! And, ah, the embroidered flowers in your cardigan mirror the flower tops in the earrings - very nice. Oh and the feathers in the earrings mirror the embroidered leaves!

An unseasonably warm and rainy September Sunday. An endless strand of white south sea keshi from Kojima and a necklace of Chinese baroque ripples (from Miaran pearls) knotted on gray thread with a decorative box clasp (from Sojourner). I'm wearing these with my big, white south sea dangles.

Thanks so much, MintyFresh, for your thoughtful and kind reply! And I especially love your SS keshi rope!

Three strands of Fiji pearls I randomly knotted with pearls from Cees. Worn with pistachio Tahitian earrings I wire-wrapped.

 

[ennui]

I love pistachio Tahitians.

 

[MintyFresh]

I love pistachio Tahitians.

I love them too, ennui, but pale green makes me look like a lizard.

Akoyas today. Earrings and necklace mixed with 9.5-10 mm Akoyas, turquoise, quartz, labradorite and emerald heshi. I added my classic Akoya necklace from Pearl Seiwa in Tokyo.

ennui and MintyFresh, I like pistachio Tahitians, too, but pistachio Akoyas are another story. It’s the one pearl color I’m not fond of for my coloring.

That’s a pretty mix of Akoya, MintyFresh!

Two ropes of mixed Tahitians I put together. One is baroque, the other more roundish. Worn with Tahitian keshi studs from Kamoka and dangly keshi jackets I wire-wrapped.

Lovely pearls, everyone. It's been very hot and humid here. The last few days I've just wore pendants on a chain and not layered on the pearls. Since I added magnetic clasps to all my chains, it's been much easier to throw on a pendant. Many thanks to Merrily for turning me on to the add-on magnetic clasps. I showed my sister and she told me that I just saved her 20 minutes a day.

I wore the The Queen (the white pendant) yesterday with the earrings and ring. I wore Pomme de la Mer (the golden pendant) today with the earrings. Golden South Sea pearl pendant from Pearl Paradise. White freshwater pendant from Kojima Pearl. Mikimoto akoya pearl earrings. Akoya pearl and opal doublet ring from OceanRhyme.

I love pendants, BWeaves! They’re always my go to along with studs.

Seashell and Tahitian earrings and pendant from Kojima, worn with a mixed Tahitian rope length from an Intergem Show.
