What are you wearing today? Pearl edition!

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

My multicolour Tahitians.

Oh I love this! Very gorgeous and I like the contrast of lighter and darker pearls. I could stare at it all day.

@MakingTheGrade - Love your new strands and bracelet pearls. Great luster, interesting shapes, and beautiful colors.

@Daisys and Diamonds - Your earrings are so pretty. Beautiful shapes and design.

I am having my best friends over for dinner tonight. It will be casual. I am wearing a newly strung Apatite bead necklace with a pewter pendant and leftover Tahitian pearls along with a light cherry/green baroque Tahitian necklace.

LOVE!

Ahhh...the clashes of the cool and warm. I'm not sure the seasons always run exactly true. We're a mix of overtones and undertones.

Precisely! I had my colors done once, and the person told me that no way could I wear a coral color. Hmm. My cheeks had that coral color when I got a tan.

LOVE multi-color strands!!! These look great on you, @CMN!

I love this thread! I'm wearing my wave necklace today.

I love this thread! I'm wearing my wave necklace today.

I love this look! I’ve also heard this style being called a “heartbeat” strand which I find weirdly romantic. Are they freshwater or akoya?

I love this thread! I'm wearing my wave necklace today.

Ohhh beautiful! Very modern too.

 

[Rhd3]

@MakingTheGrade Thanks. They're freshwater (4 - 7 mm). "Heartbeat" is a good descriptor!

So beautiful, especially on your red top! They look both delicate and bold/modern. Gorgeous!

The heavy fw strand & was buttons. Comfort pearls.

Yay I love the look of accent pearls on a white strand. Nice pop of color! Compliments the sweater too. Gold and purple are classic!

 

[SparklieBug]

Love the gold tucked into the white!

Me too! It was a Etsy Ocean Rhyme strand. I love her aesthetic.

Lovely! Can I ask what length it is?

Ooo. Their store has beautiful things! How do you like their pearls compared to ones from other vendors?

I've been very pleased. I have a GSS add a bead pendant to wear with the Moline studs I adore. It's not an exact match - Andrew's pearls are more saturated gold, but they are a nice compliment together.


I bought Mom a butterfly enamel pendant with a pearl. My Mom (83 years old) is adorable in her love of bright colors and happy things. I have not seen this in person yet, but Mom was so tickled and said it was well made.




and this chonky FW necklace. The large focus pearl is detachable.


So far I am three for three happy.

I read on a thread last night someone complimenting your glasses and how they work well the gold pearls
I totally agree

Those are lovelly
Ive never seen the wave/ heart beat pattern before

Thank you Daisys and Diamonds! I just tried that (the gold and gold) the other day and am having fun with them. I buy lots of glasses very inexpensively through Zenni (and Costco optical). This gives me choices in being an eccentric old lady with weird glasses. I am sure it will only get worse as I get older.

Eccentric is really just a different kind of fun

I'm 55 and there comes a time in a woman's life where she can be fun, she can be eccentric . Growing old and so on. I'm going to be wearing pearls, weird glasses and having a ball. We do what we can with what we have!

 

[Rhd3]

Lovely! Can I ask what length it is?

It’s 32 inches.

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

I woke up in a mood today.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Very cool look! What is on the pendant?

Shale is modeling my pearls today!

Oooh, are they this lovely dusky pink IRL? They’re gorgeous.

They look great! I also love your shirt. Yay for rainbows. I just got rainbow laces for my black lace up combat boots and love them.

The blues look almost ombré in the photo!

Oooh those GSS are so pretty on you! I like the blue Akoya with the GSS. A happy combination.

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

@SparklieBug - Those are beautiful blue baroques and they look to be a very nice size.

@MakingTheGrade - Then pendant is of the Haserot Angel. My baby brother and I love this sculpture. It speaks to us. In person it is even more impressive.

The creepy angel sculpture that weeps black tears

On a trip to Cleveland, Ohio, in June, Sweetums and I visited Lakeview Cemetery, a historic burial ground whose main feature is a massive castle built in honor of President James Garfield. See phot…

@lissyflo -Thank You! To answer your question yes and no. These are the most color shifting FW pearls I own. They change from silver lilac to rose. Both are beautiful colors and I can't decide which I love better. I bought them from Kong's pearls and described the color shift in my review.
