What are you wearing today?!

[pkinnew]

Today I'm wearing my white souffle strand which I bought from PP a few years ago (?) when they had a special. They're just puffy little pillows that glow but I couldn't capture the different colors that pop up everywhere!

 

[LitGeek]

mapo -- they sure are stunning on you!

Today I am wearing a short tin cup made of YG, blue baroque akoyas (all the rage recently) and a quirky, pointy silver/blue souffle with pink overtones as center pearl. The chain is adjustable from 15.5" to 17.5". Hisano added a darling tiny pearl at the end of the chain, which was an unexpected surprise. This is one light and lovely summer tin cup!

Is this new? It is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for summer

Lovely pearls, everyone. Thanks for sharing.

Today I was in the pink. Pink jacket and lavender pink Kasumi pearls from Kojima. I wore my Kasumi keshi rope doubled and added a little enhancer I put together from a Kasumi I selected when I visited Sarah a couple of years ago. She let me spend a couple of hours happily going through her huge "seconds" bag of Kasumi. I loved this drop shaped, striated golden Kasumi with its amazing luster. I paired the drop with a South Sea Maluku keshi that I purchased from Agustus on eBay. Some day I'll have the piece put together properly with 14 kt gold findings.

Added my Kasumi bracelet and ring, and put my Pearl Paradise freshwater pink studs in the ears.

Everything about these pearls are just perfect and SO pretty

 

[bsomlo]

LitGeek -- yes, that tin cup is brand new! Only worn once.

pkinnew -- those must be early souffles!

Today, CC metallic smaller ripples in various colors (in the winter I see them as bronzie/brassy -- today they looked more pastel):

 

[Fly Girl]

I wore my Kamoka peacock Tahitian pendant designed by T Lee. I added a red shirt, beige vest and hand-painted silk scarf.

I LOVE everything about that pendant!

Wow. The rich color and its symmetrical shape make it spectacular.

 

[cyndayco]

It's sacrilege to wear pearls against a printed background, I know.

But it's Friday casual in my office. That calls for my opera-length silvery white South Sea semi-baroques.

 

[bsomlo]

Fly Girl, great pendant!

Cyndayco -- I didn't know one is not supposed to wear pearls against a printed background. I commit that pearl crime often. Great strand! What a length! Your shirt never had it so good.

 

[baby monster]

Cyndayco, now that's what I call Friday casual - a long strand of SSP .

White ripples for me today.

 

[ckrickett]

running errands around town today, decided on my new Tahitian baroque strand (it was either that or the freshies). I like the color with the top, so I am happy.

 

[Confection10]

mapo and pkinnew, I adore your akoyas. So different, but both so lucious. Pkinnew, Your souffles reminds baroques. But they just are hollow, right? It was nice to see Your GSSs for long time

bsomlo, Your multicolour keshis are delicious. As well as Your lavenders. Nice idea on Your earrings. Ripples from Catherine really have very nice pastel tone. I wish I could see them alive...

Fly Girl, I love pink! It's so feminine and sweet colour. In pearls it is irresistible . I notice, You seem to love bright colours; lovely combo with Your Tahitian pendant. I wish I could wear pure red too. I haven't any red cloth...

cyndayco, Your SS's! Stunner! And goes well with pale blue, even with prints

baby monster, as I have said before, it is hard to beat big, white pearls. I'm drooling...

ckrickett, I'm big fan of Tahitians and Yours is not exception; lovely on You



Today my Ugly Ducks with pale lavender in middle

 

[bsomlo]

baby monster -- I admire your ability to wear those large ripples doubled. I wish I could carry that weight.

Wearing my new mini-torsade tonight. Picture taken in darkness by the light of my make-up mirror:

 

[leyhuong]

So many gorgeous pearls, so many gorgeous looks, i enjoy each and every page here. You all just inspire me to make pearls a top priority in jewelry purchase!!!

 

[baby monster]

Bsomlo, I love that torsade. Looks very antique lace to me. Excellent choice from all those options Hisano put together. As far as the weight of the ripples, I got used to it. It bothered me the first couple times I wore that strand but now I can go entire day in it without any discomfort.

 

[JaneSmith]

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you to all you wonderful ladies for posting your pretties. I love this thread!

 

[bsomlo]

JaneSmith -- thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the thread. I started it over a year ago and I just love seeing what everyone around the world is wearing, pearl-wise!

Today I am wearing my PP 35" champagne keshi long with pink button stud earrings and pink drop jackets on the studs:

 

[CRDKeshi]

I too would like to thank all you wonderful ladies for all the posts; love browsing through them all! So many lovelies to catch up on ... Bsomio's newly (and perfectly) redone keshis and stunning torsade, FlyGirl's dreamy pink Kasumi's and Kamoka pendant SIGH ... well, ALL of them! Thanks, Ladies!!!

 

[CRDKeshi]

And then there's Cyndaco''s "casual Friday" PERFECT pairing of a crisp blue ticking stripe menswear shirt with a big fat rope of glorious big white pearls ... could not be better than that

 

[mapo]

hi everyone!

Thanks for posting pics! It's making my wishlist longer by the day. I wore my white ripples set again, but no new pics. so here's an old pic of them.



Also, I took a close up pic of the earrings for confection10.



and my new metallic lavender 9-10mm fwp earrings!

 

[Confection10]

mapo, lovely lavender studs. Ear shots?

Today Hearts

 

[bsomlo]

mapo -- Are those Kevin's white ripples? Beautiful size on you. Do you find them heavy?

Confection -- Those hearts are seriously delicious. The luster is incredible and I bet the overtones in real life are amazing. Just dripping, oozing nacre.

Today, my rarely worn PP metallic white with citrines necklace and drop/citrine dangle earrings. I try to wear the set with orange, so they don't get worn often -- but summery, light and lovely:

 

[mapo]

confection10, I'll post earshot pics later tonight. I love your hearts btw. You have the best selection of freeform fwps that I've seen so far.

bsmolo, yes, they are from POJ. I don't find them heavy but I definitely feel them on my neck. I would love to get a really colorful, metallic ripple suite next. hopefully the June shopping trip in HK will be fruitful.

Today's strand is green-aubergine Tahitian. I can't capture the color nicely. Will upload another pic showing the colors later.

 

[YC]

Here is a close up of the same strand. Photographing Tahitians are not easy!

Bsomio, great to see your drop and citrine earrings again!

Confection 10, the heart shape metallic strand is incredible. Love it!

Mapo, your metallic lavender fwp are beautiful.

 

[bsomlo]

YC -- your Tahitians are moody and gorgeous!

 

[YC]

YC -- your Tahitians are moody and gorgeous!

Bsomio, it is the first time I hear the word 'moody' being used to describe pearls. But now that u mention, they do look dark and kind of mysterious looking. Quite the opposite of your sunny fwp-citrine set.

Those are gorgeous Tahitians, YC. I think it is the grey body color that gives them the moody look, like dark grey clouds that will precede storms.

Even so, in the first photo, you can make out the reddish halos around each pearl. Just lovely. Those are some of my favorite colors for Tahitians.

 

[mapo]

YC, those are some stunning Ts!

I wore my lavender metallic set yesterday with my new stud earrings

today, I'm wearing my baroque Ts with some casual shell earrings

 

[bsomlo]

mapo -- lovely lavender set!
