Hi ladies, your pics have inspired me to wear my pearls. Here are some of my pieces that I have photos of.
The bracelet and string necklace were my wedding gifts from my MIL many many years ago. They are still very lustrous despite being stored and not worn for many years, attesting to the high quality pearls. Any advice you have to store them would be much appreciated. I plan to pass them on to my DD one day when she weds. MOP necklace has gorgeous iridescence that I love. The diamond pearl necklace is 12 years old. The pearls have lost some luster and likely need to be replaced unless there is a way to restore them.

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 haven’t seen anyone else wear this style in awhile. I also have one in a short length purchased many years ago when it came into style. Yours is lovely and very versatile. Great length to be able to wear double.
