I just answered the door in a singlet and jean shorts - no shoes with mum's pearls on
LOL! The Beloved One (aka hubby) used to tease me because I would wear what he called my "lawn mowing pearls" in the yard... Yes, while mowing the lawn. I don't wear pearls if I'm doing sports-related things (would have to lose a strand or pendant), and the rest of life is game-on, for pearls. Strands, pendants, studs, drops. Yup. All good!

Hi, I'm super late to this pearl party, but I just HAVE to say: I. Love. Your. Pearls!!! They are so delicate and GORGEOUS!! I am absolutely swooning over their color... and they really are the perfect size for your ears!
I also love the pictures of your darling kitty... next time I'm on my phone I'll have to share pics of my cat! She's black and white with a cute little pink nose!
When I graduated college, my mother gifted me some dark navy blue pearls... earring studs, a little necklace, and a dainty bracelet too. I can't remember what kind they are, nor do I have any photos... and unfortunately, I am away and I left them at my parent's house! Maybe the next time I am home I will see if I can snag some good pics lol but to me they are definitely very "dress up fancy" pearls. But I do really love lighter pearls for more daily/casual wear!
Although I haven’t exactly dressed formally lately haha
I thought I would share a very exciting update in this thread.
I decided to upgrade my baby akoyas to a more "adult" size. I went for what I'd consider my final upgrade, which was 8.5-9mm (they land at about 8.6-8.7mm)
I wanted to thank @yssie for helping me select the perfect pearls and as always, being a source of knowledge and support as my friend.
And @molinePDG for HAVING such beautiful pearls and for the trade-in program. I am extremely grateful!
I never dreamed I'd own pearls this nice and in this size. I know they are hard to find.
They are ultra-feminine and have a wonderful presence. This particular pair has an almost flawless color match, and an extremely smooth, mirror-like surface. They practically glow.
Here my not-so-hot iPhone photos...
Beautiful!! And really beautifully matched, and such a great size on YOU
Congratulations!! The right pair for you found you at exactly the right time - they were meant to be yours
It was generous of Moline to permit the two for one trade!! And in your position I would have wanted exactly the same thing - I would rather have one #Everything pair than two amazing-but-not-quite-scratching-the-itches pairs. Classic white akoya are always appropriate and always in style, can’t go wrong
Omg gorgeous! I think yours are the big sisters to mine, they look exactly the same with the same tones! Super pretty and I think it’s a perfect size on you
Yes, yes, so lustrous, they are
And fancy.
Pearls that look like this are magic.
