Blue baroque akoyas (natural. Not dyed). And tiny gem akoya that are naturally white and untreated.

Just wow...what perfect baby Akoya. They look wonderful on you, too. Nice strand of blues. I love the orient on blue baroque Akoya, strong pinks and aqua colors.

Thanks everyone! Haha I am definitely in love with the blues and have turned them into a rope so I can see them. And using the leftovers for a tin cup (rose gold components just ordered).

I do love the tiny akoya too since they are easily wearable. The small size makes it feel less formal but still luxurious. I think more luxurious in my mind since akoyas this quality in small size and unpinked is very common. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the extra wee pearls I have. The drill holes are too small for my current needle/thread set up!

Find a time machine and you and me and your pearls are going back to visit the 1920s to have some fun - you got a coctail ring ?

I know you are all probably sick of me plastering these gold south sea stud earrings everywhere, but I love them so much. @molinePDG they continue to make me happy.

Ringed Tahitians with a t‐shirt. Necklace is an inexpensive strand from PearlParadise. The earrings are Kamoka (from LT). Tahitians are the best on a rainy day. No make up Friday, but I'm wearing pants.

Those are so pretty. I love that some of them are bi-colored pearls which adds so much interest to the strand. I wish I had the wavy hair that you have. I kinda have wavy hair but the front and sides can be wavy to curly but the back is partly straight. If I had your waves I would choose a haircut like yours.

Got all my piercings open today after a good couple of years hiatus
So a bit red and sore
And excuse the non matching earings but it was a matter of what i could get in there

Anyway my pink fresh water i brought from the mall jewler a couple of years back
They match the multi stand i have that doesn't quite fit

you can guaretee (on both) i over paid and they arnt great pearls but they are nice and smooth and a subtle useful colour

These ever-so-slightly rosy white babies are on their way and I am soooo excited! :kiss2: My first pearl studs I've bought!

They are 7mm gem quality Akoyas from @molinePDG , who was ever-patient and answered all of my questions! I can't wait to buy more in the future and will post ear shots!

Almost had a heart attack when i discovered a pearl earing missing
I had been in the garden, wrangling the kitties for their breakfast and all kinds of stuff

found it in the bed

Phew !!!

i have no idea how people wear studs at night
the back digs into my head and hurts
i know i probably shouldn't have slept in the pearls but i was just going to leave them in till i wash my hair (i have really dry hair so don't shanpoo every day) only because they were so hard to get in
