Mother's Day Sale 2015

[seaurchin]

What did you all get?

I just picked up a metallic multicolored freshwater strand from POJ- 8.5-9.5mm (gem grade-woot!)

And metallic button ripple earrings, 12-13mm (#5 in the photos).

Can't wait to see them!

 

[seaurchin]

And these, 11-12mm ripple buttons (#4)

 

[Lovinggems]

Very nice pearls sea urchin!

 

[icy_jade]

Two of the 11-12mm buttons. #10 and #19

One of the 12-13mm drops. #2

And a strand of 6.5-10.5mm multicolor

Feeling a bit unsure. So impulsive.

 

[seaurchin]

Thanks, Lovinggems!

Oh, I know, IcyJade, lol. After losing out several times before, I snatched greedily. But I just double-checked and no regrets so far.

I already got the darkest near round Akoya strand (I asked Kevin back when he went to Hong Kong) so I bought a silver strand to see how that would maybe work with it - I like to mess with stuff. I missed out on the double metallics and the metallic earrings I liked but I will live vicariously through everyone on here.

When's the PP sale start?

I'm gonna sleep on it and see how I feel tmr...

 

[seaurchin]

@Arkieb1, all I've heard has been on here, which was that the PP sale is supposed to start sometime between Wednesday (yesterday) and Friday.

Oh my. Now POJ has a couple of single round metallic purple pearls up. Someone go buy them so I can't, please!

Pics!

@IcyJade- Ooh, pretty!!

I don't care about spending a little too much. My DH will just take everything away and dole it out to me through the year as my gifts for the occasions. So everybody will be happy.

 

[Tucs]

Very nice, sea urchin and icy jade! I'm already looking forward to IRL shots.

 

[icy_jade]

I just got off the chat with Kevin and asked for a natural light pic of the strand.

Did anyone get #8 btw? That was my fav.

Looks like lotsa folks got something.

 

[blingbunny10]

Snagged a pair of the 11-12mm candy colored studs, though pickings were kinda slim by the time I got on!
I chose Pair #5 (was also considering #12).

This shall be my Mother's Day present since my baby is too young to get me anything. Haha!

Seaurchin- ur strand is a beauty. By the time I saw the sale it was sold out. Glad it's to you so that we can see more of it.

Bling bunny: so hard to choose right? That's why I got two.

 

[blingbunny10]

icy jade -
Definitely SO hard to choose, esp. with the time pressure! Honestly, I only need one pair but was tempted to buy a few and pick my favorite in person. But I decided I should probably let some other ladies get in on the fun.

Edit: ooh, I just saw above that you got the drops (#2) I am lusting after! Please post lots of pics when you get them!

Definitely. Thinking of adding them to my pearl Huggies collection. But no diamond accent. So a little more casual?
Am actually tempted by drop 3 as well.

 

[arkieb1]

I can never upload my own photos on here so with a large amount of help from the wonderful Acinom, if anyone is in doubt on the blue Akoyas this is what they look like IRL....

Here you go Arkieb! What an amazing blue

 

[Acinom]

Arkieb's new blue Akoya strand

 

[arkieb1]

Thanks Acinom!!! Can't wait to see everyone else's stash

 

[Bailey1856]

Wow, so many beautiful purchases!!
I got #20, first one on the right. I also really love #4 and #5. thanks goodness #4 was already sold out so it made choosing a little easier.

 

[EvangelineG]

Oh my heavens Arkieb1! Those are so beautiful! And thanks for the photos Acinom!

In our excitement we seem to have a few different threads going here this morning, so I will repost here...

I ordered one of the Blue akoya and rose gold tin cups. I was so impressed with the photos on Kevin's blog, and then Pkinnew's neck shots clinched it!



I have inquired about some sort of matching earrings as well. Fingers crossed.

Your #5 buttons were my first pick, so pretty Seaurchin must post ear photo. Number #14 for me!

 

[emchhardy]

I ordered the #12 in those button earrings. My favorite ones were already gone but I think these will be okay. They are all really pretty I thought.
I've never ordered from POJ before. I'm hoping when the PP sale comes out that I won't be tempted by anything.

 

[blingbunny10]

And these, 11-12mm ripple buttons (#4)

seaurchin - Those look great and I can't wait to see you post them here! They remind me of blueberry cereal (in a good way, lol). I guess I have weird associations w/ jewelry. I picked pair #5, which reminds me of Rainbow Brite.

 

[seaurchin]

Pssst.... A 15% off Mother's Day code just popped up at the top of the Pearl Paradise site. So something is getting started over there!

Blueberries, ha. Now I will want to eat them!

 

[seaurchin]

I ordered this from Pearl Paradise. I missed this necklace before, I believe it was more than once even. Everyone who got one seemed to have very good things to say about it. It shall be mine at last! (multicolored freshwater keshi pearls 7-9mm, 36 inch endless strand).

 

[movie zombie]

i still did not hear back from Chenai [sigh] so I ordered in an attempt to get something to go with Little Red but not be too matchy and also be used with my cat pendant:
