How pretty. I love the silver tone against your skin - the far right strand.
 
Hi to all pearls lovers. I was never a fan of pearls but I saw these two pieces and fell in love. Would be great to hear your thoughts. I have never owned jewelry with pearls and i am just wandering where this set was made in and how old it could be. Any suggestions?DB837213-DDC2-4B8F-A6A2-D331EEC9FEF3.jpegsuggestions?

i have no idea
but i really love them
enjoy and wear in good health

pearls like to be worn (for pearl health)
welcome to the nacre side !
 
got grandmas's brooch back today
got the pin fixed and had the bale added
will post picture when i wear it next
 
Bought these and am thrilled with them! But then again I don't know much about pearls but they're exactly the colour I was hoping for! More pink and less purple!

Keeping these away from the feral 10yo!

Gorgeous and they seem to have lots of metallic to them!

Wedding earrings (every time I see these, I think of my mom buying them - she wanted took me in to finish the above necklace literally two days after I got engaged, and the earrings were my engagement gift from her - she was so excited/happy):

Omg love!!!!
 
I just bought Takahashi earrings, but two years ago I bought a vintage 27" strand of small pearls (5.5-5.75). The seller included beautiful photos, better than I could ever take:

Just got these delivered today. Very pleased with them! white-ish Edisons

I didn't want to spend very much so tried to get the most decent necklace, whilst keeping the budget low.

They are 11 to 13mm

I really like them!!!!! Almost as good as my pinks and since I don't know what I'm doing I'm pretty happy!!!

I haven't been active on these forums in a long time (years) but I have been quietly reading. Towards the later part of 2022, I purchased these 'gem quality', 9.0 -9.5 Akoya studs from Takahashi. I wasn't into pearls before and these studs are now my most-worn earrings. They just glow in the most beautiful way! I also bought two more sets of smaller Akoyas, and made them into studs for my mom and dangles for my sister for Christmas presents.

A special thank you to @yssie ! Your pearl write-ups and photos are what made me take the plunge! A 16" necklace is at the top of my wishlist for 2023! Takahashi was wonderful to work with!

A few humble photos taken on Iphone...

Hi Sylvia,
I love the pearls on you. The overtone is perfect against your skin and the size is excellent. A strong presence.

Those are a fantastic size and you captured their glow in your photos :love: Beautiful!! Love the colour and overtone against your skin and hair.

Did you end up choosing one of those pendants? I often wear my pearls with Perlee pieces ❤️
 
@MMtwo and @cushioncutnut Thank you so much for the kind words. I really love them!

@yssie Your perlee pieces look stunning with your pearls! You have such a beautiful collection!

I have not purchased any of the necklaces above. I really like the Frivole pave pendant in size small (pictured above is the mini) but I can't decide what metal color will go best with my pearl studs and my skin tone. Also, bracelets are higher than pendants on the list. I might post some photos on the VCA thread.
