I would have a party and invite this crew in a heartbeat.

@ForteKitty I enjoyed the trip around your jewelry box! Scrumptious choices to wear.

Edit: @Daisys and Diamonds you made me laugh out loud.

Continuing on with the jovial theme
I still have my carnival strand on
i wore her (or him?) all day at work and it's comfortable to sleep in.i honestly don't even feel it on which is a miracle because i hate tight things around my neck

Of course no one knew it was new at work so no one commented
An old lady came in to buy her lunch and she had on a rather magnificent looking silver baroque strand and she was so happy when i admired it. I don't think It wouldn't register with
a lot of people they were even pearls, they had great luster

i was too late to get the morning sun streaming through the bathroom window

Im going to feel sad to take them off to wash my hair shortly
But we have such hard water here and shampoo and conditioner probably arnt on very freindly terms with pearls

Inherited these today: 24” inch strand of 8 mm Akoyas with 14k gold clasp which were purchased in 1993. Also two pair of studs purchased in Japan in 1971, as well as a pearl shortener.

This was my great grandmother’s ring. Looks like American river pearls.

Just strung this bracelet from CMW with Sky thread. Had to remove 4 pieces but it's still too big. (wrist photo is not focused, sorry) This is what I get for eyeballing instead of calculating lol. CMW's silver photos suck. They looked horrible on the site but I had a feeling the "TOP" designation and "silver blue" description meant they were much nicer. Luckily it worked out in my favor! The color irl is closer to the thread than pictures show, and they glow even under my yucky yellow indoor lighting. Super happy with them! I also got the green blue bracelet but didn't string those up yet and those photograph black indoors.

A pearl shortener is a one inch pin with tiny pearls that you use to clip the two strands together. For instance if I had a 24” strand which I wanted to wear as 20”, I would use the shortener and clip the two strands together behind my neck; the clipped pearls would drape down the back of my neck but the front would appear shorter.

(Finished ours)
Even though some of them are dyed and they arnt even near the second best in the jewler's window they are just so happy
And even though they are shorter than i would like they are so light i don't even have the usual strangled feeling

Pearl earrings are a staple for me. I had a pair that I purchased decades ago and are pretty worn out by now- that was long before I knew that there were pearls of such amazing quality out there! A few years after joining PS, I learned that tidbit and began my search. I am thrilled with my new earrings, sourced by the incredible @molinePDG! I have some metallic strands that I purchased a couple years ago, but I have never seen anything like these beautiful pearls! They are exactly the size I wanted and Andrew's customer service was impeccable! He went above and beyond to answer all my questions and teach me even more about pearls along the way!

Without further ado, 7.7mm top grade akoya pearl earrings, and they are gorgeous! I am thrilled to have these!!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

They look amazing on you!
