Wait, you found one with real pearls???
Omg please share the seller! I absolutely adore pearl headbands and pearl hair accessories but I've only found ones with fake plastic beads.

I was thinking I'd have to make my own!

This is not real, unfortunately!! :( It was from a store by my house maybe 10 yrs ago. If I come across any nice ones, will let you know for sure!! Pearl hairbands are gorgeous too! I have a pink one

Wearing @Cerulean’s preloved Gemmie Akoya Pearl 8 mm studs from Andrew Moline!!! They definitely pass the “how many fingers am I holding up?” test! Sadly my mom’s pearl strands look a bit dull and yellow by comparison. All my life they looks super white.

Can pearls be pinked again? 0EA8DB0F-EE7C-4005-8FCD-6B38E739E8BC.jpeg 15879990-4328-4122-87EB-B3A8D23E5A15.jpeg 169922FE-676B-4341-BCEC-3E5791B09838.jpeg

This is from top to bottom my 5.5 mm Akoya from 1992, a graduated strand I found at an antique store (the big ones-might be freshies. Not sure) And then my moms graduated Akoya from about 1962. Much daintier. Still pretty white near the antique store ones.

Earrings and ring today

Here I thought I had your whole pearl collection memorized. I was wrong.

THOSE CLUSTER EARRINGS. Please share a hundred more photos. What do the backs look like? Are they comfy? How wide are they, ish? They do look like little soap bubbles all collecting on a wand, ready to fly away :love:

And the ring!!! I don’t believe I’ve seen this before - obviously I need to stalk your threads more thoroughly :lol: So the small diamond end is swappable? How does that work? I love it with the rose, I have to say :bigsmile:

Your pearls are all beautiful :love: You did really well on Cerulean’s studs, I remember when she bought them - pearls don’t get any better than that pair!

Your older strands are lovely just as they are, IMO. That antiqued lace colour sings “vintage” ❤️ The only thing I would suggest is to give them a thorough once-over, they might need restringing if it’s been a while.

Haha! I did. I know a great deal when I see them. So lovely. But yeah now I want a matching strand or two.

I doubt my mom ever had hers restrung. I should do that. It might help them.
