Vietnamese blue akoya

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

Awww yes very nice! Some of your Akoyas look bluer than others, they all pair up quite nicely with the BSSP.

(I apologize if my inquiring took the thread off topic of Vietnamese Blue Akoyas.)

No complaints from me, except that I am now *green* with envy of Pattye's BBSSP STRAND (and her SoC strandS and BBA strands amongst others lol).

Gotta work in a St Patricks reference. Happy St Patty Day everyone!!!

I don't have the akoyas and ssp but I did take some pics of my blue pearls a few years ago.





The fireball is fwp, the fat drop ssp, the first row blue akoya (with earrings on TOP), next 4 rows are tahitians with various shades of blue pearls in the middle 3 rows.

I did get some really blue akoyas from pp last year n can try to dig them out if anyone is interested.

Yes, yes, yes, please dig them out!
and I love the flipper up there, cool.

IcyJade, Always fun to see your pearly beauties again! (As I mentioned before, my blue akoya are not top quality. I probably paid about $20 per strand or so for most of them. (So will need careful sorting when used.)

Please do share more photos!

Here's a ring I made - recycled sterling silver and a 6.3mm bright blue Vietnamese and a pair of sort of ripply surfaced baroque 10.7mm. they are both blue - the back one has decided to be shy!

 

[Katbran]

That rustic look of the ring suits that little blue pearl really well !

Great photo ! Wow ! I never realised just how different the silver blue is from the blue ! They are worlds apart ! Both gorgeous of course !

Wow, that is shut the front door gorgeous! I love how the pearls just seem to roll around one another, like soft bubbles under water. And the earrings are fabulous as well. Wear them all in the very best of health and with love in your heart!

eta: what did you use for a clasp? I'd love to see a photo of that too! Thanks!

Sorry it has taken so long for a picture of the clasp.

Newberry the bottom pearl on the right seems to be coming off loose from the finding? You might want to have it checked out?

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Icyjade, those silvery akoyas made my heart sing! I guess I have a pearl goal now.

Good catch Purrahna! You definitely don't want to loose that pearl Newberry!

Icy, your blue collection is quite spectacular! I think my favs are the very blue akoyas, although the blue SSP pendant is really nice too!

Purranha Thank you so much for letting me know about that! I just checked and it is indeed loose and would be gone very soon. I was planning to wear those earrings tomorrow and again on Sunday. I even had bought new outfits for both days to go with the pearls. Again thank you so much!

You are so welcome Newberry! I am so glad to know that we prevented the pearl from running away! Yah!

Thanks for the photo of the clasp! That is one gorgeous set, and our own eagle eye Purranha seems to be the pearl superhero of the day!

 

[Purranha]

Lol I will gladly claim the eagle eye title for the day!
