Show me your Black Friday pearl purchases!

4Ranch Girl, you collection, as always! impressive! beautiful souffle pearls!

A couple more pictures from Jeremy. I'm liking this much better. Thank you all for your opinions. I'm not sure if it will be two or three pearls, but I'm pretty sure this will be the enhancer finding.

4Ranch - I have a bunch of pearl strands at home waiting for me to string them up. I'll have to get this piece in hand to see if any of them will work. I love the idea of enhancers and I'm thinking that this will be a substantial piece. It will be fun to play around with it.

I think two pearls together (the oval one on top and the large one) would look fantastic! I'm sure you'll love whatever you choose, though - it'd be nearly impossible to mess up any combo of these beauties.

They're not here yet, but I'm pretty pleased with my Cyber Monday pearl bargains from PP. I have spent $637 and for that I got four items: a strand of blue akoya baroque pearls 7.5-8mm, a strand of white metallic freshwaters 7-8mm, a pair of black freshwater studs with blue-green overtones 6.5-7mm, and a Tahitian pearl pendant 9-10mm with green overtones. Not bad, eh? I got 20% off the blue akoyas and 15% off the rest.

I just opened my Black Friday purchase of 2 of the metallic soufflé s and I am in love! Seriously, these are the most gorgeous pearls I have ever seen. I will post pictures later, I promise..

 

[bsomlo]

Girlfriend, "later" is killing me!

 

[renwea]

Sorry bsomlo, I know what you mean, so I hurried and took some pictures on a white paper towel with my iPad. Love love love these!

 

[bsomlo]

WOW!!! (Eyeballs bulge.) Thanks for the quick photos. Fantastic pendants!

OMG, those are seriously gorgeous!!!!

Congratulations! Wow! Stunning! They are just beautiful! I have no words!

Now I can't wait to see mine and I wish I'd gotten one of the greeny/orangey ones like you and fly girl. It would go with my Keshi strand ( which I also can't wait to see)!

Thanks so much for the quick pic!

 

[mynattk]

Those pendants are out of this world! I like the diamond accent on the second one - very nice. Enjoy!

 

[renwea]

I thought it would be interesting to show the glamour shot with my picture.

 

[bsomlo]

Even better in real life!!!

 

[LitGeek]

Definitely better IRL! Both souffle pendants are gorgeous and I really like both of the settings you went with! Enjoy!

Renwea, you're making me so jealous. My PP BF purchases won't be here til Monday. I love your soufflé!

 

[mynattk]

This technically doesn't count as a Black Friday purchase since I just bought them yesterday, but I got these two loose pink ripple pearls for earrings to match my husband's Black Friday purchase - a pink ripple strand. I can't really *know* he got it for me until Christmas!


12x11mm & 12x11.25mm

Renwea, you're making me so jealous. My PP BF purchases won't be here til Monday. I love your soufflé!

I, too, am experiencing a desire to see my new pearls!
I will hopefully get them by next Friday. After that they'll be belated Christmas presents, as I'm leaving on Saturday for my annual Christmas visit to Europe.

I'm waiting to see my:
Metallic freshwater 9-10 rice strand
Exotic Keshi 36" strand
My very first ever soufflé (metallic silvery white with lavender and blue) and
The two baroque blue akoyas that Hisano picked out to go with it

And my two birthday strands, and a few more Maluku pearls I picked up that might go with the soufflé.

Since I'm having a hard time waiting, here are a few glamour shots to keep me going!

 

[periwinklegirl]

Nice ripples!

Where did you get the new earrings? If you don't mind my asking!

 

[mynattk]

Well, I have you to thank - I was looking at your birthday pearls yesterday and started browsing The Merry Bead on Etsy! When I saw these, I just had to have them to tide me over until Christmas. What an enabler you are!

Sorry! There's a lot of that here on PS.

I thought I recognized Tammy's set up.

I have some of her smooth Chinese Kasumis.

Enjoy!

Renwea, thanks for the comp pictures. Always nice to see what pearls look out of light box. Your pendants look great! I got the email that my souffle pendant shipped in Friday so hopefully I'll get it early next week.

Hi Babymonster,
Which soufflé did you get?

 

[baby monster]

I got one with green/lavender color combo.

 

[Fly Girl]

Sorry bsomlo, I know what you mean, so I hurried and took some pictures on a white paper towel with my iPad. Love love love these!

Those are so beautiful, renwea. I loved them when I saw them on my old netbook screen, and I really, really love them on my big monitor. Stunning colors! Thank you so much for showing us pictures.

 

[renwea]

Thanks fly girl, be sure to post pictures when your lovelies arrive .

 

[HHPmom]

My goodness, renwea, those are absolutely gorgeous. So much better IRL compared to glamour shots. Mine shipped Friday but tracking doesn't show estimated arrival date. I am hoping Wednesday at the latest.

 

[pkinnew]

renwea - I absolutely love them both! And I agree with the others that they are more amazing IRL!!! Wish I had gotten to the sale earlier.

Mine are arriving today! One of the soufflés I bought (the peach one on a gold chain) ended up being double-sold so only the white one with pink and blue overtones is going to make it to me. I guess it's good for my wallet.

My other item arriving today is a 100" strand. I've been googling ways to wear it.

The baroque Tahitian studs haven't shipped yet - I hope they do so today!
