What are you wearing today?!

Nice! I was thinking pendant today, too. How long is that chain, Icy Jade? I like that length on you.

Today I paired up my Kasumi keshi rope with my freshwater metallic pink w silver lavender earrings from this month's PP specials. The pairing works well enough that I will probably keep this in my regular jewelry rotation.

Fly Girl, I love the look of your rope and earrings with that shade of grey. And the different sizes of pearls, as well as the length make that rope so visually interesting.

Inspired by this thread and everyone's amazing flair for pearls, I tried a new look today.

(6 freshwater strands of varying quality and one fakie)

I think your layers look very pretty, Rosebloom. Love it with that simple neckline.
 
rosebloom -- I love the mix of those six strands! And you kept us guessing regarding the fakie...

Thanks. Just measured and its 18 inches. In comparison my blue akoya strand is 20 inches.

Just realized that my FWP drop is nearly 17 mm (based on quick eye comparison against my tahitian earrings). Really need to appreciate it more by wearing it more often. :cheeky:
 
Beautiful pendant, Icy Jade!

These are freshwater pondslime off rounds with pondslime metallic squares from Catherine Cardellini.

love that CC with the squares!
looks great on you, too!
 
I'm not normally a "pond slime" kinda gal -- but I have to admit that combo is funky in a very good way, and goes great with your shirt.
 
Thank you MZ and bsomlo. I don't own anything else in this color (the top) and I was about to return it when I tried it on with these pearls. I wore it for awhile and decided I loved it. Anybody else buy clothing because it complements your pearls :rolleyes: :lol: ?

I eyed this strand for a long time before actually purchasing it. When I finally got it, I gasped-- love it!!
 
The length is excellent on you, too!
 
Thank you!
 
HHPmom I absolutely adore your keshis all twisted together into a torsade!
Fly Girl Loving the combo of your new earrings with your kasumis :love:
Rosebloom your necklace look great layered!
icy jade 17mm wow that is fabulous! You should definitely be wearing that baby more often!
baby nurse I never would have thought that I would like square pearls, but they look SO fantastic with the pondslimes :appl: :appl: :appl: Also pretty amazing with that shirt!
 
Taking this "selfie" (which is hereby an official word in the Oxford dictionary!) was ridiculously hard. Ear and neck shot minus face -- in fading light...

Simple metallic drop earrings and pendant since my sundress has big bright flowers:

Wow, that's a great look.
 
Mrs. Taylor -- can I marry you? We'd totally enable each other and admire each others' pearls...mmmm.
 
YES!
 
Great looks, everyone. And, yes, I do select my clothing to compliment my jewelry, rather than the other way around. :cheeky:

Today I wore my Kamoka Harvest Strand in the long form. I've taken a shine to the big round blue-grey pearl so it was centered today. Who knows which pearl will win my favor tomorrow? :naughty:

Fly Girl -- I think I can speak for everyone. You are WOWING us over and over again with your beauties!
 
Pink button studs with new pink drop enhancers. Surprisingly good color match:

Lovely! They'd match SO many things!
 
bsomlo Love your metallic drops! What are their size mms again? And your new drops look perfect with your pink studs :appl:

HHPmom Sigh I really never get tired of seeing these Kamokas :love: :love: How fun that you can wear it to feature a different pearl each time!
 
Interesting, to me it looked like one big graduated rope from afar.

Mrs. Taylor -- Great match. Those earrings would probably go with everything, though.

I was just thinking that those are really great earrings and probably match everything :wavey:
 
thanks! I do love them!
 
LitGeek -- Thanks! I haven't started a thread with my new metallic drops. I was on a wait-list having missed out on their first offering. I chose the 9 to 10 mm drops for earrings due to their luster (which doesn't show in the picture). I had wanted significantly larger -- but the quality of these smaller ones won out. The pendant is 11-12 mm. I adore this simple set. They enhance anything you wear and are lovely, light, elegant and understated. (But I would still have liked them significantly larger.)
 
bsomlo I would definitely choose luster over size too. I think the sizes you chose look fantastic on you! I was asking because I was looking into getting some drop earrings and a pendant and it is so hard to reference size with a number. I think I will probably go with similar sizes. Thanks for your help :wavey:
 
oops! double post :loopy:
