It is fun to see what everyone is getting - wish I saw this thread before I start my POJ sale post.

I got #1 in this:


#8 from this


And this - so impulsive!

 

[Lovinggems]

POJ's selection is wonderful! I love the candied colored studs.

I broke and bought #1 on the card of earrings that Yingh posted. Kevin said that both cards are the same size; it's an illusion that the 2nd half are bigger, just in case anyone was wavering.

 

[icy_jade]

Yingh: you got my first choice for the earrings (#! Pls post lots of pics so I can live vicariously.

 

[Tanzigrrl]

Ordered this from PP. Can't wait for it to arrive!!!!

 

[seaurchin]

It will be fun to see all these pretties in person.

I got one more. The PP leaf earrings in yellow gold, but with 10-11m metallic freshwater drop pearls rather than the 8-9mm round pearls shown.

You just might find your self loving yellow gold again! So classic and big!

Holy cow, those will be beautiful!
Photos required, naturally.

Edit: ooh, I just saw above that you got the drops (#2) I am lusting after! Please post lots of pics when you get them!

Definitely. Thinking of adding them to my pearl Huggies collection. But no diamond accent. So a little more casual?
Am actually tempted by drop 3 as well.

Icy_jade, I love your huggies collection. I have been planning on making my own in another thread and didn't realize you had already done this. Who do you get to set your pearls into the diamond with the eyepin?

Thanks! It was suggested and set by my local jeweler in Singapore. It's a fairly simple design so I'm guessing that pp can probably do it too if you are based in the USA.

 

[cmd2014]

I changed my mind on the studs. Holding firm (for now) on my pledge to save up for bigger items.

Icyjade, Your pearl collection along with these tahitian drops are the best my eyes have ever seen!

 

[icy_jade]

Frost Me: Thank you. My collection started cos I was greatly "poisoned" by the many gorgeous pieces so generously shared on this forum. Actually really don't dare to say it's the best but I'm glad you like it. Thanks again.

And a strand of 6.5-10.5mm multicolor

Sadly I've decided not to get the strand as pastels don't look great on me... But am quite excited about the earrings. Heh.

 

[Lovinggems]

I admire your self control Icy_jade! Those candied colour earrings are really unique so I am sure you'll be happy with them.

I made the same call...in the glam shots I was drooling, but the natural light shots made me realize that they were quite pastel toned. Since I am too, these colours get lost on me. The luster/shape were amazing though! I wish I did look nice in these colours!

Lovinggems: self control? Hehe. I'm still covering from my spree from about 6 months ago. But yes I hope I will like the candy earrings.

Cmd2014: I know what you mean! I would have so so many more pieces if I looked decent in pastels/fwp colors. Plus they are more affordable than Tahitians too... And then I have dark hair so dark Tahitians get lost in my hair. Sigh.

Cmd, I am pastel colored too and can't wear these colors.

 

[Lovinggems]

So what skin tone/undertone will suit pastel?
I love pastels but pretty sure they are not my best friend.

 

[icy_jade]

Those who look great in pastel colored outfits? Think people who look great in pastels tend to have pinkish skin tones.

 

[seaurchin]

I like pastels. I'm kind of light, light skin, hair, eyes. I guess that's why but I'm not sure.

 

[Lovinggems]

SeaUrchin are you a pink or yellow undertone in foundation?
Icy_Jade I'm not into pastel coloured clothing, maybe pastels are not for me...

I think one way to get around it could be to wear the pearls over a turtleneck. But that doesn't work in the tropical climate where I stay so I try to stay away from pearls that blend into my skin...

Eagerly waiting for dark fwp to be common!

Yes like those stunning dark purple Edisons!

I don't have a swan neck so no turtle necks for me, although it is certainly cold enough here for them! I would probably choose black though so don't think they'll look too good with pastels...

 

[seaurchin]

@Lovinggems- I'm not sure if I'm more yellow or pink so I just looked in the mirror. I'd say yellow. Strange that I don't know... Maybe it just means not strongly either way. ?
