Got these pink akoyas months ago from @molinePDG and still love them so much! Originally got the smaller 7-7.5 pair but I prefer the larger (8-8.5?) size. Andrew was wonderful to work with. So patient and knowledgeable and he made the transactions super easy.

Oh I love them!!! They look like my Hanadama studs with their gorgeous lustre!! Do they have a pink overtone as it looks like they do on my monitor?

@Made in London - Thank you! They do have a pink overtone especially out in the sunlight. Maybe more noticeable in the top pic?

The picture of the three pair of studs are all of pearls with pink overtone. The top two pairs are from Moline Pearls, and I opted for the larger pair bc of size even though the smaller has better luster. The bottom pair are pink-green Hanadamas from the pearl source.

Oh I think the little ones are the ones I got from him! Depending on timing - they look identical and are the same size!

Gorgeous beauties! 1 question - the double pearl "Dior" studs? Tell me more, they are lovely.

The pearls I had Marla Aaron restring are back. They are a bubble strand with gem quality akoya, two sizes. Here are some pictures. They have open loops on them so I can also put a brooch on the strand, plus the locks PXL_20210624_184138893.jpg

You already know I love this and the flexibility it gives you! Changing the brooch to the locks flips the whole effect from antique and feminine to a little edgy. I can’t wait to see what other options you work in there!
