Soooo....hubby asked me this morning what I wanted for Mother's Day within a certain budget. Of course I said Akoya earrings. He said, "show me"...So I conveniently logged onto Sakura's site, placed the earrings in the cart, and left the page on his computer. Well guess who is getting a new pair of Akoya earrings?!!! He's so sweet. I guess when they come addressed to me, since he ordered them on my ETSY account, I'll just place them on his desk and pretend I haven't a clue what's inside. ;)

I love how you rock the longer strands. I have yet to master the long strand look. Love the layers of Tahitian goodness. I haven't posted very much either...end of the year school testing and activities are keeping me busy.

I love long strands. I have a lot of 18 & 19 inch strands so the longer strands blend in well with them. It's been hot & humid here so I've mostly been my tin cups. It's not really the weather fora lot of layering or longer strands, especially heavy Tahitians. The Kojima waterfalls are lighter & easier to wear. Tin cups are perfect for hot humid weather.

suchi,
I totally understand about distractions. I’ve been on the LV sites which are budget suckers to the tenth degree. For the amount of money I spend on designer bags I could have some very nice gssp!

I really love this combination especially how your Tahitian is nestled in between the Kojima necklace :D

I have been very irregular (very low pearl budget and need to be not distracted). But here is the latest from Kongs Pearl. Really loving the intense color. This picture is taken under harsh office lights which really sucks life out of the pearls.

These look amazing despite the office lights! :D We need mod shots! :D

Thanks. They aren’t hanadama due to budget constraints but they are AAA according to Sakura. Love the intense color of your new pearls. Would live to see a neck shot...those babies look huge!

Thanks :)
Size is 8-12 mm. Neckshots will take a few days since this strand have that typical fishy smell still. Not able to wear it for the smell.
Sakura's AAA will be gorgeous! I want a pair now :)

I have redirected my energy to fitness (with some budget destroying gym membership) instead :)
But all these sales arent helping. Specially kamoka and kojima.

Thanks :) Mod shots have to wait till that fishy smell is gone.
