Question: How do you store all your lovely Pearlie treasures? We are remodeling our master bath and closet and I'm thinking I might want a jewelry drawer so I can see all my treasures. Do you store your pearl necklaces in the soft bags or do you lay them out in your jewelry drawers?
I have several boxes/drawers for my jewelry. At some point, I would like to remodel my closet to include drawers for my jewelry. At this time I have several boxes with separate drawers stacked in my closet.
Do you keep them in the soft bags or are they lined up in the drawers?
I store most of my pearl necklaces in 2 Colleen's Prestige stackable jewelry boxes with transparent covers, especially those with sterling silver clasps. But not all can fit inside those 2 boxes since I have so many, LOL! The rest are kept in their Pearl Paradise boxes. For a short time, PP did soft bags and I have 1 necklace stored that way but the rest are in those boxy PP boxes
Some are laid out separately & some are in soft pouches. I have smaller boxes for special individual pieces as well. Like SmokieDragon, I use the Prestige stackable boxes (I have several) & I keep some in the boxes they came in whether from PP or my jeweler. They do stack nicely & will hold quite a bit but I want a closet large enough to have a jewelry island with drawers for jewelry organization. Oh, a girl can dream.
I'm not actually sure if these are pearls, but they look like they could be! The clasp is stamped for sterling. I like how they're linked together, all my fave beaded bracelets.
My Freshadama 8.5-9mm from PP they are definitely perfect for everyday wear, and I think I found a new passion for pearls! Next on my list, tahitian studs but I first need to learn more about them to choose the right pair 
So cute! Where did you get these from? I love the hoop combo.Thank you to whoever recommended the pearl forum's educational content to me! After hemming and hawing for a month or two I settled for this pair of WSS gold hoops as my first pearl purchase! Absolutely floored by the luster of WSS pearls, the pictures do no justice to them in real life. Thank you so much again for your help!! Look forward to seeing (and buying!!) more Pearls
Thank you so much!! I actually got them from an etsy store called "PrettyShinyJewels"
highly recommend the seller! She was able to completely customize the earrings to whatever size, shape, color, and undertone of Pearls I wanted and answered all of my (many) questions!!So so beautiful! Do you have any idea how these compare to akoya pearls? Not sure if I should splurge on hanadama/AAA akoya studs or just get a pair of freshadama...
Thanks so much!! I don’t have an Akoya strand from PP so I can’t make a direct comparison. But I think they’re supposed to be nearly comparable. I chose the Freshadama cos I want pure nacre
These are my Hanadama studs. They are 7-7.5mm. PP had a Hanadama sale then. If not, I would probably have opted for Freshadama studs

So are you wearing your pearls while you shelter at home? I had three video conference calls yesterday and actually wore a T strand and matching earrings! I felt a tad overdressed since we are chatting from home. Just curious if you wear pearls with sweats, pajamas, etc?
