For Sale 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'

May 28, 2023

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!
