Today I'm wearing my white souffle strand which I bought from PP a few years ago (?) when they had a special. They're just puffy little pillows that glow but I couldn't capture the different colors that pop up everywhere!

mapo -- they sure are stunning on you!

Today I am wearing a short tin cup made of YG, blue baroque akoyas (all the rage recently) and a quirky, pointy silver/blue souffle with pink overtones as center pearl. The chain is adjustable from 15.5" to 17.5". Hisano added a darling tiny pearl at the end of the chain, which was an unexpected surprise. This is one light and lovely summer tin cup!

Is this new? It is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for summer :love: :love: :love:

Lovely pearls, everyone. Thanks for sharing.

Today I was in the pink. Pink jacket and lavender pink Kasumi pearls from Kojima. I wore my Kasumi keshi rope doubled and added a little enhancer I put together from a Kasumi I selected when I visited Sarah a couple of years ago. She let me spend a couple of hours happily going through her huge "seconds" bag of Kasumi. I loved this drop shaped, striated golden Kasumi with its amazing luster. I paired the drop with a South Sea Maluku keshi that I purchased from Agustus on eBay. Some day I'll have the piece put together properly with 14 kt gold findings.

Added my Kasumi bracelet and ring, and put my Pearl Paradise freshwater pink studs in the ears.

Everything about these pearls are just perfect and SO pretty :love: :love: :love:

LitGeek -- yes, that tin cup is brand new! Only worn once.

pkinnew -- those must be early souffles!

Today, CC metallic smaller ripples in various colors (in the winter I see them as bronzie/brassy -- today they looked more pastel):

I wore my Kamoka peacock Tahitian pendant designed by T Lee. I added a red shirt, beige vest and hand-painted silk scarf.

Wow. The rich color and its symmetrical shape make it spectacular.

It's sacrilege to wear pearls against a printed background, I know.

But it's Friday casual in my office. That calls for my opera-length silvery white South Sea semi-baroques.

Fly Girl, great pendant!

Cyndayco -- I didn't know one is not supposed to wear pearls against a printed background. I commit that pearl crime often. Great strand! What a length! Your shirt never had it so good.

Cyndayco, now that's what I call Friday casual - a long strand of SSP :cheeky: .

White ripples for me today.

running errands around town today, decided on my new Tahitian baroque strand (it was either that or the freshies). I like the color with the top, so I am happy.

mapo and pkinnew, I adore your akoyas. So different, but both so lucious. Pkinnew, Your souffles reminds baroques. But they just are hollow, right? It was nice to see Your GSSs for long time :D

bsomlo, Your multicolour keshis are delicious. As well as Your lavenders. Nice idea on Your earrings. Ripples from Catherine really have very nice pastel tone. I wish I could see them alive... :wavey:

Fly Girl, I love pink! It's so feminine and sweet colour. In pearls it is irresistible :love: . I notice, You seem to love bright colours; lovely combo with Your Tahitian pendant. I wish I could wear pure red too. I haven't any red cloth...

cyndayco, Your SS's! Stunner! And goes well with pale blue, even with prints :appl:

baby monster, as I have said before, it is hard to beat big, white pearls. I'm drooling... :lickout:

ckrickett, I'm big fan of Tahitians and Yours is not exception; lovely on You :wavey:



Today my Ugly Ducks with pale lavender in middle

baby monster -- I admire your ability to wear those large ripples doubled. I wish I could carry that weight.

Wearing my new mini-torsade tonight. Picture taken in darkness by the light of my make-up mirror:

Bsomlo, I love that torsade. Looks very antique lace to me. Excellent choice from all those options Hisano put together. As far as the weight of the ripples, I got used to it. It bothered me the first couple times I wore that strand but now I can go entire day in it without any discomfort.

mapo -- Are those Kevin's white ripples? Beautiful size on you. Do you find them heavy?

Confection -- Those hearts are seriously delicious. The luster is incredible and I bet the overtones in real life are amazing. Just dripping, oozing nacre.

Today, my rarely worn PP metallic white with citrines necklace and drop/citrine dangle earrings. I try to wear the set with orange, so they don't get worn often -- but summery, light and lovely:

confection10, I'll post earshot pics later tonight. I love your hearts btw. You have the best selection of freeform fwps that I've seen so far.

bsmolo, yes, they are from POJ. I don't find them heavy but I definitely feel them on my neck. I would love to get a really colorful, metallic ripple suite next. :) hopefully the June shopping trip in HK will be fruitful.

Today's strand is green-aubergine Tahitian. I can't capture the color nicely. Will upload another pic showing the colors later.

Here is a close up of the same strand. Photographing Tahitians are not easy!

Bsomio, great to see your drop and citrine earrings again!

Confection 10, the heart shape metallic strand is incredible. Love it!

Mapo, your metallic lavender fwp are beautiful.

Bsomio, it is the first time I hear the word 'moody' being used to describe pearls. But now that u mention, they do look dark and kind of mysterious looking. Quite the opposite of your sunny fwp-citrine set.

Those are gorgeous Tahitians, YC. I think it is the grey body color that gives them the moody look, like dark grey clouds that will precede storms.

Even so, in the first photo, you can make out the reddish halos around each pearl. Just lovely. Those are some of my favorite colors for Tahitians.
