Sold Moline 8-8.5mm gem akoya studs

[monarch64]

Hello all, I have decided to part with my Moline studs. I’ve worn them maybe 3 times since I bought them 2 years ago and worried every time that I would lose or damage them. And honestly I just don’t do studs. I’m posting the Loupetroop listing as well as a thread I made about them containing lots more photos. If you read through the thread you’ll find where I mention that my piercings are uneven which causes me to dislike wearing studs of any size or shape, sadly. It’s probably barely discernible to anyone looking at me, but I can see it, and you know how that goes…

Asking $2k. His current pricing on a very similar pair is $2300. The LT listing doesn’t contain many details because I would really rather these go to a Pricescope “family” member if possible. You can of course message me via LT. Thank you!

Thread 'New Akoya Studs from Andrew Moline'

Pricescope made me do it!

First 3 pics are Andrew’s. I’d seen his name mentioned here before and casually followed his IG for awhile; found his wares impressive. I’m not necessarily a pearl novice, but far (oh so far) from an expert. I waited, I watched. A couple months ago I decided I wanted to add a top quality set of Pearl studs to my collection and started seriously looking at options, between Mikimoto and AM. His won out and recently I reached out about a pair of 7-7.5 “gem quality” studs.

As an aside, everything I buy these days is with the intention of passing down to my...

Dust for a quick sale! They're obviously beautiful pearls.

I assume you have considered resetting them into drops (I'm also not a studs wearer) or asking him about trading them in for something else? Just putting that out there!

Thank you! I am a hoop girl through-and-through. I have a pair of YG 1” and inside-out WG Diamond hoops that I consistently wear and that’s all I ever reach for. I bought these after purchasing both my VCA WG MOP Alhambra pieces and rarely wear those either. I have a pearl strand from Pearl Paradise but never wear them; in fact, I think it’s listed here somewhere.

So what about pearls in hoops? This is a pair of earrings I have with 8-8.5mm pearls:


But of course if you don't wear pearls, you just don't wear them! I didn't mean to take over your thread to tell you not to sell, just figured I would mention it as a fellow non-studs-person.

@newtojewels you’re a great salesperson! Haha! Those are gorgeous, but not something I would end up wearing. This has been a tough decision to make, don’t make it harder on me! LOL

Sorry to make it harder, and good luck!

HI:

These are gorgeous. Their reflection will light up anyone's face! Much success on your sale.

cheers--Sharon

Big bite on a cross-posted listing. I will offer a PS discount if you message me via Loupetroop. As I mentioned above, I would really rather these stay in the PS family. Thanks!

Hi there are these Moline studs "natural white" (not pinked)? (Almost all akoya pearls are pinked.)

Thank you I went through your original post of when you acquired the studs- the photos were super informative. The luster of the studs- wow so gorgeous! Sadly it's clear they aren't the best match for my silverly toned Moline pearl necklace. Dust for a quick sale!
