I’ve posted these pearl charms on my necklace before, but slightly changed up on they sit on the chain and really like them this way. Plus with tiny Melanie Auld pearl hoops. This is my 24/7 look right now.

I’m really happy to see pearls getting the attention they deserve these days. Was watching one of those silly reality TV shows (guilty pleasure!) and was surprised how many of the young fashionable women featured were wearing pearl studs and bracelets!

Pearls and jade are so underrated, although I am not necessarily complaining since lower demand means prices aren't spiked unless the stones/pearls are breathtaking and/or rare. I hope to someday get my hands on some beautiful black pearls and Mikimoto akoyas.
 
Sharing my small but extremely sentimental collection of pearl jewelry! Everything except for the safety pin pearl earrings (which are from Mizuki) are vintage. I inherited the necklace and bracelet set from my mother, and the pearl stud earrings and matching pearl ring was given to my mother from my late paternal grandmother whom she's now passed onto me. They're some of my most treasured jewelry pieces. I have no idea what the details are of these pearls, but would welcome any information from you ladies who are pearl experts!

Question for Mikimoto experts: I have a gifted Mikimoto pearl necklace 18k gold clasp and 18 inch. However the M charm is located on 15th or 16th pearl not the first or third pearl. Is this a red flag?

Hi Pearlies, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. This year has been filled with a lot of life changes starting with my mom’s passing, then my retirement from education, and finally dealing with her estate. Right before she passed she gifted me the “Wilma’s” as we girls lovingly referred to them. She wore them almost every day and told me she was going to leave them to me. They are South sea pearls 14-16mm. I added two pearls to the end to lengthen it from 17” to 18”. I love them. I haven’t worn them too often but now that it’s cooler I might have to start!
