The PEARL Lovers Thread!

[texasgirliegirl]

I'm currently on vacation and I have noticed that the ombré strands have become very popular. Even mikimoto has a strand right now.
Does anybody have a strand? My favorite example so far is the silver graduating to dark peacock.
I've seen white to black as well.

I only have a multi colored Tahitian strand that I can wear with everything. I do love the ombré Tahitians that fade from light silver to dark silver to peacock. They look so rich. I also love the black Tahitians mixed with White South Seas. At least one of these is on my wish list. I also want a strand of Golden South Seas mixed with White South Seas. I love the Goldens but I think the really dark golden color looks better with blonde hair & skin tone. Since I'm dark haired with a medium skin tone, I look better in Tahitians.

If you get something while on vacation, please be sure to post pics of what you get. I would love to see what you choose!!!

Pearl stretch bracelet I made today. Used 2mm gold beads in between.

Ooooooooo....nice!! I love the green tones of the pearls & the luster is wonderful. I think the gold beads between were a perfect choice! This looks so rich!!! You did an awesome job!!!

Thanks cdtracing . This is my first diy project. I intend to collect sufficient pearls (as and when funds allow) so as to make a rope.

May I ask what website you bought your loose pearls from. I'm thinking I may need check out good quality loose pearls myself.

Here is the strand that is currently haunting me.
I absolutely love the gradual progression from silver to dark peacock. These pearls are around 12mm.
They cost a small fortune, too.

This is a rope I was considering but I have decided to look for a shorter, colourful Tahitian strand instead.

Are all the pearls 12mm? If so, perhaps the cost isn't so outrageous. That's pretty big.

That is a stunning necklace!! The luster & color matching is excellent!!! It would be beautiful with just about any outfit. I can see why it haunts you!!! Do you know the length of it??? If it's possible, buy it!!! I don't think you will regret it. I waited years before I got my multi color strand & I haven't regretted that purchase at all!!! In fact, I wouldn't mind getting another multi color strand in a 20 inch with 11-12 mm pearls so I can stack them!!

The pearls are all approximately 12mm.
These aren't branded pearls however and while beautiful the asking price is pretty steep.
I've had fun comparison shopping aka doing "research"...

I hear you.
It took nearly 13 years for me to find the perfect strand of multicolored Tahitians.
These are fabulous.
