What are you wearing today?!

Icy your new rope looks FANTASTIC :appl: :appl: :appl:
 
icy_jade - stunning rope. Love the big aubergine/peacock next to the big blue on the right side of your neck (left side of the photo) in that last shot. Those may be the biggest pearls, but that is a wonderful mix of beautiful Tahitian pearls. Just gorgeous. Enjoy! :appl:
 
Thanks again bsomlo, LitGeek and Fly Girl.

Think I got lucky cos this was Golay's last strand and when Mr Panos wanted to order more, he was told that there is a bit of a waiting list cos new ones have to be made up and given the mix of pearls it needs a bit of time. ::)
 
Trying Yabas over a turtleneck to see if they are less "chokey" feeling. Pre-dawn:

They look fab :twirl: Hope they are more comfortable with the t-neck!
 
Multi coloured colour shifting metallic rope. Really loving the rope length, it feels decadent.

Lovely, Jane Smith! I like the lower pearl in your earring. They are colour shifting metallics as well?
 
JaneSmith -- Lovely rope and earrings!

Yep, I got PP to pull two golden and two purples from the rope.

Thanks baby nurse but really all credit goes to Catherine for putting together such amazing strands. Your new rope looks great.

Rosebloom, such a sweet pic . They're really at their best asleep :naughty:

I'm wearing a coin pearl initial pendant today. It's my baby's initial cause he is my little pearl. :))

Hi Baby monster,

I love love your coin pearl initial pendant! could you please share where did you get it? love to have one for my baby initial as well.

Thank you!
 
Icy jade, the harvest strand looks great on your neck.
Jane Smith, the metallic ropes and earrings are fabulous.
Bosomlo, the triple strand is a stunner. The length is perfect on you.

The pendant is from Honora. Unfortunately, they don't sell it anymore.
 
Bsomlo, very presidential.

I'm wearing my CC ripples with an addition of whiskers :twirl: .

Baby Monster's ripples and bsomlo's triple strand - giving me chills! Perfection!!
 
baby monster, those ripples go very well with your complexion and beautiful neck.
 
Baby Monster -- I LOVE your ripples!!! What is the mm, and how are they described color-wise?
 
baby monster Wow those ripples really glow! Fantastic :appl: :appl: :appl:

bsomlo Can't get enough of that triple strand :love: :love: :love:
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments :wavey:. It's one of my favorites strands.

Bsomlo, Catherine originally described it as deep lavender with flashes of gold, green and blue. It does have all of those colors but also lots of metallic surfaces which the camera tends to pick up. This picture was taken in bright northern light so metallic luster is intensified while the colors recess a bit. The pearls are 13-16mm.
 
My new rope! Actually just a longer strand, but I added an extender to make it more of a rope.
Fairly modest for a rope, but I made it myself. Freshwater white rice pearls with lavender rounds. All pearls from Pattye. Special thanks to Pattye for her support and encouragement while I was learning to string!

Lovely! I am so impressed with anyone able to string their own pearls!

Wow,Kudos to you, Periwinklegirl, you caught on to the knotting fast and have done a fab job on that necklace!! :appl: :appl: :appl: Looks terrific on you and with the lavender sweater, and so nice you can wear the pearls doubled.

LOVE seeing each of you model and share your amazing pearls so beautifully in the photos/selfies on this thread!
 
Periwinklegirl, great job on this strand. I'd say it qualifies as a rope and looks amazing on you.

I'm wearing metallic fw studs with coin pearl pendant. The studs look oval in this picture because of hair's reflection but the pearls are perfectly round.

Thanks so much. It's almost ridiculously easy once you've got the hang of it. I still have a little trouble finishing the strand nicely ( somehow I think you need three hands at the end), but otherwise I'm very pleased with the results. And I love being able to try out my own design ideas. Such fun!
 
baby monster -- I don't know which is more delicious -- your pearls or your gorgeous neck! Wow!
 
Baby monster, . I love the look. How big are your Tahitians and what are the colors?
You have some beautiful pearls and I think your ripples are amazing!
 
Turtle"neck" shot of PP triple graduated metallic whites. This is how all my pearl babies will lay the next several months:
