The PEARL Lovers Thread!

[suchi]

I got a macro lens and took some pictures of my pearls this morning. All my pearls are freshwater (although have taken advantage of the mother's day sale and couple of goodies are on their way) All in shade, normal daylight pictures.
First, ripples from etsy - 2 strands and 1 pair of earring.

Lastly, 2 of the pendants, from Pearls of Joy, nicknamed my precious 1 & 2
In the souffle pearl, the green color isnt really there. Its pure orient. The pendant color is metallic white-silver.
Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks cyanide rose. I love the souffle. It's a hollow pearl, so not heavy at all. Souffle earrings are in my wish list.

I love the orient of all your pearls, especially your precious 1 &2. The colors are wonderful. In recent years, gem quality freshwater pearls have come to rival saltwater pearls in luster & orient. You have a beautiful, diverse pearl collection. I can't wait to see your new goodies when you get them.

Thank you so much cdtracing. New goodies will take some time I guess, I got a pair of soc mabe from Kojima pearls and a 8-9mm silver-peacock tahitian stud from POJ. The studs haven't shipped yet.
Since I became obsessed with pearls, my other jewelry is being neglected. I love pearls and silver jewelry.

My grandmother just passed this vintage ring on to me for Mother's Day - it was made in the 50s and has sapphires surrounding the pearl. Set in white gold.

I want to get it resized to fit my right hand so I can wear my wedding set on my left - but I'm scared they will mess it up. Any experiences sizing a pearl ring?

Also, I got these Akoya pearl studs from my husband for Mother's day - they are from Brilliant Earth.

Beautiful ring!! I love vintage pieces! Regarding the sizing, if they are using a laser welder there will be no issues. If it's a traditional torch, they will usually remove the pearl, size the ring, then reset the pearl.
