What are you wearing today?!

[Siameseroo]

Nice new studs. Is your necklace a double strand or a rope used double? It looks great. I never think of mixing pearl colors, but I really like the way they look on you. I should try it.

Plust, extra points for the fox pattern blouse or dress. That is adorable!

Thanks BWeaves! Yes it's a rope which I wore doubled. I think it's 50". Wearing it today knotted!

 

[BWeaves]

Great. Now that makes me want a long pearl rope again. I used to want a 100 incher, but after trying some on, they were just too heavy. I didn't think 50 inches would be long enough, but it looks great and versatile on you.

Guess what I'm wearing today? I've only posted it in about 4 different threads.

 

[Siameseroo]

Stunning! I love the mix of pearl size and colour. The ropes look amazing together.

BWeaves, lovely to see your new blue Akoyas. Very pretty with that outfit.

ricezo, you wear that rope well!

This is absolutely breathtaking, Pirard!!

 

[Pirard]

Thanks! I made this one yesterday, and I must say it is a new favorite! The pearls look a little off round in the photos but they are not! These are perfectly round light mix pearls...I am in love with their soft colors.

BWeaves, your little blue akoya rope is SO blue . How wise you were to get a rope of these beauties!

The pearl colors could not have been placed in a more pleasing pattern (wow that's a lot of Ps). And the beads... they're like froth!

 

[BWeaves]

Today it's coin pearls and my Kojima teardrops. The coins have a slightly soap bubbly luster that just does not come through in photos.

It is a very lovely necklace, Pirard~~~and I LOVE the design and layout

Most companies have casual Friday. My company is so casual that we decided to have "Wear a Suit Friday" just so we could dress up for a change. (I think this is to be followed with Pajama Tuesday, but I haven't checked my e-mail.)

So I wore my only suit and my Grandmother's necklace (actually PP Freshadamas and Nana's pearl clasp) and my Kojima teardrops worn as an earring jacket with diamond pave studs.

 

[baby nurse]

BWeaves, you look smashing! I especially admire that clasp-- what a special piece!

 

[ckrickett]

Love it Bweaves!

BWeaves, I love the necklace. My office is also very casual so I'm trying to keep that in mind as I start my pearl collection...because I didn't with my colored gem jewelry.

I love that look. You look like you're wearing soap bubbles, only better. I'm going to have to try that with my strand of blues. Thank you for the inspiration. I never think of doing a torsade when I get my ropes out

Tahitians!
ETA: Can you see my hands holding the iPhone?

Tucs, your strand is amazing! I am new to tahitian pearls and trying to discover my tastes. May i ask what body color, overtone and size they are?

Thanks GreenBling! The body colour is mostly green, though it said "multicolour" in the description. Overtones are peacock displaying intense colour variation, there is quite a bit of green, cherry and blue; some of the pearls show a variety of colours. They are 8.4-10.9mm. Here are the photos and explanations I wrote in the "Tahitian vendor vs. IRL photos":

More photos of my strand here, when I was choosing and fellow forum members helped me:

If you are learning to *read* Tahitians, here is my advice -- if you see a strand that catches your attention, ask for photos in natural light, too. I wanted something with very high luster, intense colour overtones, and greenish -- as opposed to grey -- body colour. I asked PP to show me (photos of) strands, and when I found one that made my heart sing in all light conditions, I knew that was the one (I doubted between the one I chose and another one with similar coloration). Erin at PP helped me; she was super helpful and veeeeery patient.

 

[GreenBling]

Tucs, thank you! I will do exactly as you suggested.

Going out to dinner with my DH FIL and SMIL and I wanted to wear my Faux harvest strand and bracelet.
