What are you wearing today?!

baby monster · Aug 29, 2014

Confection, your layering is amazing as always. Renwea, love the overtones in your new strand.

CC ripples.

bsomlo · Aug 29, 2014

Yay ripples!!! Beautiful color and size on you. Are these the ripples that "launched a thousand ships"?

baby monster · Aug 29, 2014

Thanks bsomlo. Yes, these are THE ripples

Today, taking my first-born son back to college, I wore POJ double metallic necklace with mismatched metallic earrings. It was much easier dropping him off for his second year! I don't even think I'll cry tomorrow.

baby monster · Aug 29, 2014

Bsomlo, your multicolored metallics are TDF!

ckrickett · Aug 29, 2014

Bsolmo that necklace is superb! I love the look with the earrings? What is the MM on them anyways, they look HUGE!

They are about as big as metallics get -- 9 mm to 10 mm of pure metallic nacre!

Just GORGEOUS!

Love those metallics Bsomio!

I played with my strands last night and discovered that these two go together, so I wore them:

Multicolored with blue-green.

bsomlo · Aug 29, 2014

Oh, fantastic! More pictures, please!!!

cmd2014 · Aug 29, 2014

Since DH is away, I played with my strands a bit. I posted a bunch of pics on the Tahitian thread. It's hard to do a rope selfie without making the bottom pearls look unnaturally huge. They are more proportioned IRL.

I love your new silvery ones! They are similar to, but very different from mine.

Confection10 · Aug 30, 2014

cmd2015, FlyGirl and pkinnew, thanks. Your comments made my day

. Figure envy!!! You gave a name for symptoms I suffer too

baby monster, I adore Your ripples. They are huge and they are so shiny

. I might be wrong, but is there time to remade Your strand? On Your photo front pearls seem to loosen...

bsomlo, those metallics are real eyecather

cmd2014, by being creative and brave results might be gorgeous. Your T's are great example

I wore my PP double strand of blue baroque akoya to go out for dinner last night.

TDF

. I must have

. What's the mm size of these, baby nurse? And how long is each strand?

baby nurse · Sep 1, 2014

Thank you, baby monster! They're 8.5mm and nested at 17 and 18". They're from the same lot Kay got hers.

bsomlo · Sep 1, 2014

And they are TO DIE FOR! One of the handful of baby nurse's strands that I've declared "right of first refusal" if she ever decides to sell. Which she never will. But one can hope and dream....

baby nurse · Sep 1, 2014

You're right, I won't ever sell it-- sorry!

bsomlo · Sep 1, 2014

Hey, one can dream, can't one?!

I'm happiest if stays on your neck, where it truly belongs...

They look so beautiful on you! I cannot wait to get my blue baroque akoyas back from PP -- they are being re-strung as a double strand like yours.

JaneSmith · Sep 1, 2014

Baby monster, it looks like there is something wrong with your string at the front.

Gorgeous pearls as always ladies! Le sigh.

icy_jade · Sep 2, 2014

Baby nurse: Was there a thread for these akoyas? They are TDF indeed.

Not quite wearing them but took this out to measure for my new rope.

My Andy Muller color graduated strand:

pkinnew · Sep 2, 2014

icy jade - Your rope is amazing! love the color graduation!

cmd2014 · Sep 2, 2014

This thread lights up and makes angel noises every time I look at it. Oh those blues!!!

baby nurse · Sep 2, 2014

Icy Jade, I love your Andy Muller color graduated rope

And no, there's no thread on the double strand akoya but it's in the works!

icy_jade · Sep 2, 2014

Thanks pkinnew and baby nurse!

Baby nurse: Yes we do NEED more pics of your lovely blues.

bsomlo · Sep 2, 2014

icy -- SO beautiful!

Today, PP champagne keshi rope (made of two of the champagne keshi strands removed from my originally-too-heavy torsade -- or should we start calling them "tornadoes") and POJ keshi stud earrings:
