I woke up in a mood today.

Ohhhh, I'm a fan too. This looks great!

I woke up in a mood today.

Wow !!!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Indirect light, GSS studs (Andrew), and baroque blue Akoya (Cees) in house-cleaning gear.

You are an inspiration to us all

Akoyas and baby south sea (I am in the passenger seat in case anyone is concerned!).

Classically pretty

That is a lovely look, both casual in how you styled it, yet sophisticated.

So elegant!

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!

Thanks, @MakingTheGrade! There are some pearls that are more saturated than others, but overall, IRL, the color is quite uniform. Some lights it's paler blue, other light, the blues are very blue.

Confession time: I have five strands of blue pearls, four of which are baroque Akoya, from 7-8mm, all the way up to the 10.5+ strand in the photo above (from Cees). In summer, I wear the smaller ones as a torsade and LOVE the look/feel of all. that. blue. goodness.!

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

Thank you, @MMtwo Blue and gold—a very happy combination, IMO!

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

Good eye, @Lisa Loves Shiny! They're 10.5+, from Cees. They're quite lovely, bumpy, with different shades of blue, and some having pretty pink and green overtones. I used a deep turquoise thread to encourage the blueness.

Oooh, so pretty, @CMN! I have an "ancient" (for me, that is, LOL!) strand of natural, golden Akoya. That's the strand that started it all... They're 6-7mm and I haven't worn them in years. You're inspiring me to get 'em out!

LOL!, at your being in the passenger seat. Pearl safety.

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

I think this strand exemplifies why Tahitians are known as "black" pearls. This is the darkest strand I own. I am wearing it today with a black T-shirt.

Dbty meet Pbty hehe

I love your baby pearl bracelets . Where did you get them from?

Would it be ok if - when its confidant - to show us said 5 blue strands ?

Here's a family shot from several years ago:
Top strand: Cees, Vietnamese Akoya, 10-10.5mm
2nd strand: 8.5-9mm Japanese Akoya (Rakuten vendor)
3rd strand: 8-9mm Japanese Akoya (Ocean Rhymes on Etsy)
4th strand: 7.5-8mm Japanese Akoya, from an Etsy vendor, yeeeears ago!




There are different shades of blue and I really like wearing the smaller ones together!

Also wearing a "necklace" I made of Tahitian Keshi (Aloha Pearls on Etsy) with a large FW white pearl, and a lovely blue Tahitian pendant I bought in Hawaii many years ago.


Studs are Akoya from I-don't-remember-where, LOL!

Get them out !
Get them out!
Get them out!

(No pressure)

ROTF!!! Hilarious! I have this same kind of patience. Wanna see 'em NOW!!! LOL!

Here's an old shot of the golden Akoya, with some super-cool vintage Russian studs! The studs have the weensiest hammer and sickle stamp on them, and the gold is a warm rosy color. The pearl (studs) are a lovely gold-tinged creamy white, and are 8mm.

 

[SparklieBug]

Well, that was a total thread-jack! Uhm, should have started a different thread. Apologies!

No way can you threadjack this thread! What awesome pearls! I love them all.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

I'm loving the keshi!

Tahitian and WSS medley, doubled, and the lovely colors aren't cooperating in this light:

I know what you mean. Tahitians are so hard to photograph! Glad I’m not the only medley strand lover!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Sorry for anyone squicked out by feet, but I made an anklet with baby akoya keshi and leftover blue baroque akoya.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

It’s Sunday. I refuse to get out of my comfy robe. Wearing newly lengthened medley strand of akoyas and Tahitians and south sea keshi.

Love this !

That's a beautiful look. I find baroque white SS pearls to be so beautiful. I love the pairing of yours with colorful Tahitians.

Thank you, @Lisa Loves Shiny This strand is a bit heavy, and in winter, I love the feel/weight. Summer, not so much.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

It’s like a pearl tie!

 

[SparklieBug]

Great lighting for the strand! It's beautiful!
