Thought I would share

My golden strand having a play date with NacreLovers new strand. My strand is the middle one of the three strands. Nacre Loves's new strand is the center strand.

My first two Edison's are the ones that are set and on chains. My newest Edison is the largest one in front.

So jealous! You have the most beautiful collection 4RG.
 
4ranchgirl, Did you get your new pearls from your trip to PP yet? Looking forward to hearing about it here. :wavey:
 
Thank you Chel180. I have been collecting for many, many years and I just buy what I love.
 
NacreLover I expect it will be a couple more weeks before I receive my new metalic drop. The old bale needed to be soaked off and the new one had to be sent to the goldsmith to fashion a bale from an earring setting. Patience, patience all good things come to those that wait.
 
Can't resist posting this beauty shot of my drop before it's makeover. :mrgreen:

I really enjoyed seeing your pearls -- especially the shots with you modeling them!

The Natural untreated color Vietnamese Akoya double strand is just lovely. So PERFECT for Spring and wearing with dresses. Are they available now and then -- because I certainly don't see them on PP's website.
 
Call and ask. They may have them in the vault. The matching earrings have never been posted and we saw them also.
 
NacreLover, I have to control myself for now. But they are on my wish-list.

I noticed the family that owns The Pearl Outlet is named "Shepherd". Relatives?
 
Yes, Terry and Jeremy are brothers.

A good lesson is to never say never. I can't believe I bought Natural untreated color Vietnamese Akoya. I have never been a fan of Akoya. I remember seeing a friends strand thought ok they were nice but they were over the moon expensive to much so for me. Well, at PP last weekend I saw these and had them string up a double strand and I am in love. Oh and they look perfect when worn with the natural blue with rose overtone I bought a couple of years ago from PP. They are afforadable now. Glad I waited.

4RanchGirl - Thanks for sharing your pearl lovelies!! so beatiful and inspiring!

I've never seen blue akoyas before. I would have assumed any blue pearls were dyed! So thank you - I always love to know more about pearls!

You and NacreLover have inspired me to ask for a blue akoya pendant (from PP of course!). and it seems I will be getting one. :appl:

Do you think it's worth me calling (once the order is placed) to ask for a particularly blue one? I'd rather blue than silver.

Thanks!

And another pearl addict joins the club!
 
I think you should ask for photos of several pearls (specifying what you want) so you can select the one you like best before placing the order.

Great! thanks for the tip! I've done it!

I'll start a thread so I can keep you posted rather than thread-jacking any longer.

By the way, there was a funny moment when he asked to see other pics of blue akoyas. I showed him the strand NacreLover linked to so he could see that he was getting off lightly this time! :)

Thanks everyone!
 
First picture of my new cream metallic triple strand pearls.

Too gorgeous!!! I'm so tempted.

But I just treated myself to a lovely Catherine Cardinelli set, and that's used my pearl budget for the next while!

But, so lovely!
 
Lovely! I would love to see a neck shot of those cream metallic. :)

Do they have any earrings?
 
They're gorgeous! What size are they?
 
My new triple cream metallic strand. I wanted a strand that looked like Queen Elizabeths that she wears all the time. I think this fits the bill perfectly. Love these metallic pearls :love:

Wow. That triple strand necklace looks even better than I had it pictured in my mind. Stunning!
 
Stunning!! I have a triple strand of apricot/peach oval shaped
Pearls that I never wear. It's a reminder to get them out and wear them again!!
 
beautiful! :love:
 
That triple strand is really lovely, 4Ranch Girl!
I'm very pleased with my white metallics and thought I could resist these... but I'm weak :lol: ! I ordered a 35 " strand of the 7-8mm.

So amazing! I can only imagine these in real life! Awesome! I'm so glad you didn't resist the temptation~lol~ :love: 4Ranch girl ,your pearl collection is truly outstanding! :love: :love: :love:
 
Tee hee. (Didn't 4 say she doesn't groove to the boring round pearls anymore...)

Your triple strand is GORGEOUS!
 
bs I not only said that but also said I was not getting any more strands either. All of my famous last words I am now eating :lickout:
 
You are eating them graciously, festooned in marvelous pearls. I am really looking forward to a picture of you wearing that beautiful necklace.
 
A fun picture of my new cream metallic triple strand joined by my other metallics, white ss and white 100 inch rope.
From right to left:
White ss silver overtone
Multi color color change green overtone
Peach metallic gold overtone
gold metallic
Ice Pink metallic
White metallic
next three strands is the new cream white triple strand 17, 18 and 19 inch gold bar clasp
Pile is 100 inch rope white AAA not metallic

I think the color difference between the white and cream metallic is very slight. I will have to see it in the bright day light to compare them. I am one happy girl with the new triple strand. :mrgreen:
