Aren't the baby ripples delicious?

 

[pkinnew]

Lady_Disdain - I agree - they are amazing!

I went back for the purple ripple HG earrings and one of the metallic copper rings. I can't wait to see what everyone else gets!

 

[Tucs]

Oh, those rings are sooo pretty! Tempted to get a beautiful metallic copper one, but it really isn't my colour -- I feel it needs a yellow gold band, but I usually wear white metal.

 

[Pirard]

Saw the earrings, but didn't see the rings on their site. Would you post a link please?

 

[Tucs]

Sure, here is the whole Maven Collection, rings are mid page:

I'm hoping someone from here got some baby ripples. I'd like to see neck shots before I decide to get a strand. I don't have white pearls but I don't want traditional whites, the ripples would be perfect for this itch

 

[Pirard]

Bailey, there are a few of us who bought 9-12 mm ripples from PP...I have posted those photos on the PP Oct Sale thread. I have to say they are amazing, and I am sure that both vendors have similar pearls. If you are thinking about them, I say go for it! They are not your grandmother's pearls for sure, but they are fun, and beautiful just the same.

Bailey -- here are some neck shots of PP white ripples from several buying trips back, they're terrific white "not your grandma's" pearls, and they go with everything:

Gorgeous ripples, bsomlo! They look funky and luxurious at the same time if that makes sense.

Pirard, i really really love your 16" and 18" inch strands styled long connected with fish hooks. I even added your picture on my wish list

Bsomlo thanks so much for the pictures. You are amazing, you know that ?
Holy, the ripples really glow esp. with the dark green top. I have to make up my mind soon. When I spoke with Kevin yesterday he said there were only 16 strands left. If only i wasn't so smitten with a GSSP strand.

 

[Bailey1856]

I just ordered two strands of the baby ripples. So excited

 

[pkinnew]

Congratulations Bailey1856 - I can't wait to see them on you!

 

[Tucs]

Yay, Bailey! They look great, not your mother's pearls at all!

 

[Frost Me]

Oh Bailey 1856 it is very exciting! I usually can't sleep when I know I have just ordered.

 

[Bailey1856]

Oh no, POJ have an early bird special (15% off) and I just missed it. This always happens to me because i'm so impatient. I SHOULD have waited

 

[cmd2014]

Oh No! Have they posted to your CC yet? Maybe you can call them....

On a happy note...I *think* I may have snagged the first strand of the fancy metallic lavenders in the blog post. Late one night my willpower broke and I bought one of the 9.5 - 10 mm strands. To my eye the shapes and colours lined up to the first strand in the picture, but I'll have to wait until it arrives I guess to be sure. I just got confirmation that it has shipped today, but since it's coming regular post, it may be a while yet before it arrives. Hopefully it suits me!

 

[pkinnew]

Bailey1856 - Oh please call and ask them to extend the discount to you!

cmd2014 - Congratulations on snagging that lavender strand. I think it'll be amazing on you!

 

[Tucs]

Keshi torsades have been added...

 

[Bailey1856]

The code is not allowed for sale items anyway so it's okay but you know pearls with additional discounts are even better

 

[ennui]

The blue SS pendants are unusual.

 

[Bailey1856]

They've arrived!!! *now frantically putting some batteries in charger so I can take picture (darn why didn't I think of this yesterday?), waiting impatiently...*

 

[cmd2014]

Yay! Do you like them???

My fancy lavender metallics are still MIA. Sadly, once they crossed the border the USPS tracking no longer worked, so I can't tell when they might arrive.

I do like them a lot, very different from white tahitians or ssps.

CMD, try putting your tracking now in Canadapost.ca, you should see where they are now in Canada. I discovered this when I was waiting for the ripples. USPS used to give us tracking all the way but i guess there's been some changes.

I received my double strand of silver/blue keshi from POJ and they are winners!

I had bought the dove keshi dangle earrings from a previous buying trip and the double keshi necklace is quite a good match. This necklace goes with any and everything:

 

[Tucs]

Very nice, bsomlo! They look great with that purple top.

 

[bsomlo]

Would these work for the project you have in mind?

SO pretty b! The luster is stunning! They do look perfect with your earrings.

 

[bsomlo]

Super "wearable". If one's in a hurry, grab and wear because it's lovely with everything. I really like keshi. They're my friends.
