[baby nurse]

Thanks, periwinklegirl! It's from the same lot that pinkjewel got her 2 pastel greens from.

periwinklegirl, LitGeek and mynattk; thanks . Pearls are VERY addictive and I can`t stop drooling them. Every day I`ll find new ones to my wishlist

 

[pinkjewel]

Beautiful pearls and combos, everyone!!! baby nurse, your baroque akoya is stunning!!

 

[pkinnew]

I sned a sincere thank you to everyone who posted pictures of what you're wearing! I tried to take a few shots this weekend and just couldn't get anything to look good. Maybe because it was cloudy/rainy all wekekend? I will try again when we get some sunshine!

 

[LitGeek]

I wore mixed whites today. Freshwater pearl necklace from PP, white Tahitian pendant from Kojima, and SS studs from local jeweler. Paired up with my white SS ring with pearl from Agustus and setting by Studio Vincent Design.

Perfection Just love each one of your pieces and oh that white Tahitian pendant has me swooning! I am going to purchase a white freshadama or white metallic strand from PP (or maybe both ) and I just love your clasp on your strand. Any chance you remember the details on it?

I can wear this piece with a large blue topaz inserted between the clasp and the white Tahitian drop, with the white Tahitian drop alone, or I can remove all the enhancers and turn it around and it becomes a classic white pearl necklace. The reason I dug it out this weekend is I was considering whether this necklace would work with the souffle enhancer that I'm getting from PP.

My local jeweler found the clasp in 14k white gold, and I know that she shopped around and found a vendor selling it for much less than the original vendor. It should be commercially available, but I don't know where it was from. She also spent a lot of time looking for just the right cap for the Tahitian. It wasn't easy, but she found a lacy cap in 14k white gold that could be flexed a bit to fit on the Tahitian. Then she fit a small enhancer on the Tahitian and a larger enhancer on the topaz. I wasn't completely happy with how the stringer fit the pearls into the clasp. I thought they should have been snugger than they are, so I expect that I may not have photographed the entire piece for PS.

I like this sort of clasp and I think it will make a great clasp that can be used alone or with various enhancers.

 

[periwinklegirl]

Flygirl, the whole piece must be just gorgeous! It would be great to see a pic of it with the topaz too.

I checked out the other thread and I love the pic of the topaz and your budgie! Very cute!!

Thank you so much for the info! I will do some online clasp browsing to see what I can find. Please post a photo with that incredible blue topaz enhancer on it!!!

You are welcome I'll try to take some pictures soon.

clasp is very close to mine.

Thanks so much Fly Girl, I will definitely have PP look into that for me

"Test-driving" my grandmother's Tahitians before I give them to her in a few weeks.

 

[bsomlo]

Hmmm, they're looking mighty good right where they are!

 

[YC]

Today's pearls consist of a strand of blue baroque akoya (color is enhanced though). One of my favorite strands simply because I like the color and not too 'loud' for work. Purchased from a local b&m shop many years ago. Earrings are bluish silver SS keshi from etsy shop indoseapearl. I love organic shapes of keshis.

 

[Fly Girl]

I wore my new lavender metallics from PP today. Love, love, love these pieces.

 

[baby nurse]

YC, your blue akoya are super pretty! They have an awesome luster and really suit you!

Fly Girl, your lavenders are fantastic! I really see the red in your necklace and just love the bracelet !

 

[bsomlo]

Fly Girl -- that metallic graduated strand is just fantastic! Wear it in good health!

 

[periwinklegirl]

Fly girl,
Those are just gorgeous!!!

How do you ever drive with that bracelet on your wrist? I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes on the road!

 

[Confection10]

Fly Girl; Your set beautiful. So shiny and glowing. And periwinklegirl was absolutely right about safety when driving car with those pearls! Enjoy!!!

 

[GemFever]

I wore this yesterday

Thank you, everyone.

Not to worry about driving. When I'm bundled up in long underwear, sweaters, mufflers, gloves and my Cabela's polar parka, there is no way that I can see this bracelet when driving.

 

[SMC]

I wore this yesterday

Next time PP has a sale, I want a strand just like this!

 

[HHPmom]

Fly Girl, the latest pictures brought out the fine colors of the bracelet and strands. I couldn't decide from earlier pictures. Glad you picked the right one. They are worth the wait.

Gem Fever, love the Tahitian strand. Vibrant colors!!! Wear them in good health.

Another "test-drive" of grandmother's Tahitians. They look better and better to me everyday! My (male) coworker remarked on how beautiful the black pearls were. He was like, "I never liked white pearls because they're so ordinary, but there's something really interesting and different about the black ones."

(And I totally plan my outfits according to how well they'll go with the Tahitians.)

 

[pkinnew]

sortmon - How are you ever going to be able to give up that strand? Maybe she'll share???

Loving these, along with your test drives! I was thinking that this strand was too big and round and boring, but I am totally changing my mind. They are beyond beautiful. Their beauty is definitely enhanced by being worn by a lovely woman who knows how gorgeous she is when wearing these.

 

[GemFever]

Sortmon, those look great on you! Wow. Your grandma will be very happy, I think

Here's a look I was sporting last week. Long strand of freshwaters.

 

[HHPmom]

So pretty sortmon. I really like the strand with today's outfit. My male co-workers couldn't tell the diff between pearls and sapphires. They are jewelry blind.

 

[LitGeek]

sortmon - How are you ever going to be able to give up that strand? Maybe she'll share???

Will your Gran actually wear them? Maybe you should just let her borrow them for the wedding? My Gran was from the generation that only used the good stuff (china, jewelry, etc.) for special occasions. Those are just too pretty to be left sitting in a box!

What a lovely strand and a very classy look! What size mm and length?

This particular coworker has never commented on my jewelry before so I think these pearls really stand out. I really like them, and I'm thinking that I need to get my own strand someday!

Haha, I thought about it because my grandmother is exactly the type who will hoard stuff and not use it. I do want to give it to her though, as it's only right to thank her for taking care of me all these years. I'll be wearing them for the next week though!
