It's been very hot lately so not a lot of layering. Here are some of the necklaces I've worn lately.
White soufflé from Sakura, Warm iridescent baroques also from Sakura, & my PP Blue Akoya with a white blue Akoya mix strand.View attachment 4506147 View attachment 4506148 View attachment 4506149
You have a gorgeous collection. In regard to the “Soufflé” pearls, do retailers now use that term for that particular look in a pearl or is the word “Baroque” more common? Thanks!

Thank you, Cool Breeze. Soufflé pearls are a type of pearl that is all nacre & hollow inside. They can be a little hard to find because there aren't many who farm these. At least that's my understanding. They are usually made with a mud nucleus which is cleaned out at harvest leaving them hollow. They are lighter than baroque pearls. The warm iridescent pearls are not soufflé pearls & are heavier than the white strand.

Thank you so much for your helpful and informative answer! I love this thread and the Jade Lovers thread because I learn so much from you ladies. Keep on rocking, literally and figuratively!

That keshi chain is so cute. I agree with this southern heat! I've just been wearing my floating pearl pendant. Although i did wear a Tahitian stand yesterday to church...gotta love a building with serious air conditioning.:)
