Hi Everyone!
I''ve enjoyed lurking for a while, and decided it was time to say hello.
This is my daytime look. For evening I pull out all the stops.

My favorite Tahitians:
1. 10mm - 12mm AAA vivid multicolor from TPO. I had a 4" extender made for added versatility.
2. 11.1mm - 14.8mm AA+ vivid multicolor from FF''s recent 10th Anniversary sale. I''ll soon be having both strands coverted to mystery clasps so they can be worn as a rope.

Thanks for the warm welcome y2kittty, elle, swedish bean and gardengloves. I''ve been enjoying your posts (not to mention your pearls!)
Yes, I would be happy to start another thread with pics and detailed descriptions of my addic....er.....collection.
I''d also like to start a thread of size comparison neck shots to give pearl newbies an idea of what various size strands (especially > 10mm) look like on the average size neck. I don''t know about you, but I had difficult time visualizing the (significant) difference between a 9-11mm vs 10-12mm strand when I first started out. Lucky for me, HHPmom posted some neck shots of her (beautiful!) collection on another pearl forum. But gosh, did I have to search around! Having a good number of neck shots all in one place would have been extremely helpful.
Come to think of it, pics of various earring stud sizes might be helpful, too.
What do you think?

Pearls are not only associated with wealth, but are symbolic of purity and dignity..Pearls are one of the nature''s best gifts to mankind and woman feel proud to wear and show it off.. From time immemorial pearl has been considered as the symbol of wealth and prosperity and pearl jewelry has been associated and considered only as part of the rich and famous.. pearls are lovely and elegant.. I like pearl jewelry so much..

Hi CCN and Diva,
Thanks and right back atcha! My 7 yo daughter callls this my "Egyptian Queen" photo. Obviously, because I''m in denial of my addiction.
Hi HHP,
With the exception of the Cortez bracelet, the rest of the collection is either 18" or part of a rope (W/G baroque SSP, loot Tahitian, Pelosi.) Tying them on the neck required remarkably high tech gadgetry - I used a combination of bread-bag twist ties and string.
I''ll post more photos with the pearl particulars asap.

Good lord!!
Okay, start talking ma'am! Pictures and details of all of those, please...
My thread about my Tahitian pieces are locked now. Probably because it's been more than 3 months w/o a post. I was going to continue there to keep everything together, but oh well.
I recently came back from vacation and have something new from Margo Tahitian Pearl (also owned by Tahiti Pearl Market). I posted some pix in the other forum. They are "pastel Tahitian pearls". The pix here are not as pretty due to small size requirement. It takes me at least a few tries each pic to downsize to make it that small.

I chose the blue and pink pearls last year to make a pendant from their white gold setting. I began loving these Tahitians when I saw their pastel pearls (their pastel colors are yummy, lustrous and full of colors). I picked 2 more pearls this year to make another pendant, same gold setting. They are interchangeable to a pair of earrings. I love them.
I chose these loose pearls from their least expensive loose pearl box. These are semi baroque. You can see the luster for yourself. I had them drill the pearls, then knotted them myself. The gimp is connected to split rings. I can wear it as a ribbon necklace, or remove the ribbon and hook the split rings to a gold chain.
HHPmom said:
Oops, only blue and pistachio pearls are from the least expensive box. Pink one is slightly higher.
I took new pictures this morning, no Photo Shopping done, with some blue color as reference point. First pic is macro mode w/o flash, second one is w/ flash, both taken near window source.
