I just got these today - a long White and Golden South Sea Pearl tin cup (it can be doubled up) and a necklace :biggrin:

Yes, the name of this style, with the chains between pearls, is called tin cup, made famous by Rene Russo in the movie "Tin Cup", hence this style which she carried off so well is named after the movie :biggrin: Here's a picture of her with her tin cup in the movie "Tin Cup :biggrin: I think they're Akoyas.

I bought my tin cup today in person at a pearl boutique called Edward Kong South Sea Pearl in my country, Malaysia. Sadly, he doesn't sell online. I haven't seen anyone else doing a tin cup with Golden and White SSP. However, there is a vendor on Etsy named Sakura who does do custom orders and I think she's expecting some SSPs this month. I have bought pearls from her before and she's so fast in answering questions and her pearls are reasonably priced and with great luster. I've never customised anything with her before but I think @cdtracing and @TXLVlove have done so and they have had great results with her. Perhaps you can contact Sakura on Etsy. HTH

I have to share a cute story. My son-in-law gave my daughter a pearl pendant for Christmas. When he told her where he purchased it and for how much, she told him next time check with me because I know all about pearls! She's due to give birth any minute with my second granddaughter...another girl to share my pearl "obsession/hobby" with. ;)

I'm wearing 2 simple strands that I've had for years:

For some reason, these simple pearl earrings are my favorite. I think it's because I purchased them years ago on a trip to Sri Lanka. The jewelry store was in a coastal town called Beruwala. Every time I wear them I wonder if the nice jewelry store owner I met survived the big tsunami of 2004.
