Same here, peacechick! I absolutely struggle with getting certain ones to stay put. I'm contemplating wearing the crystal part and clasp in front, just for that reason. It will definitely take tinkering, I predict! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1747417 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 12:42:18 +0000 peacechick 1747417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous necklaces, jlpp! The position of the crystal on the Italian one is interesting, I'm more used to the design being half-way down. I wonder if it will keep sliding down? Or maybe it depends on the neck. My necklaces never stay put how I drape them, I have to resort to pinning them to my top sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1747365 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 04:32:21 +0000 Anonymous 1747365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually made two new purchases, one at shopbop (freshwater pearl and leather) following your link peacechick and one at Yoox (faux pearl and crystal by an awesome Italian brand Radá!). I realized I could post the stock photos now, rather than waiting until they arrive: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1747354 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 03:18:18 +0000 Anonymous 1747354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will happily show you, peacechick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1747318 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 00:16:29 +0000 peacechick 1747318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jlpp, awesome, can't wait to see the latest addition to your lovely collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1747308 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 23:21:56 +0000 Muffin 1747308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun post!

Thinking about restringing a few now....hmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1745123 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 12:14:27 +0000 Inge 1745123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jipp (also for indulging my curiosity and posting all your fab pics!-)<br />White pearls will always be my first love, but I enjoy mixing it up with the grey strand (or pairing them together).</p> <p>Your collection is just awesome, WOW! You have so many unique and lovely pieces (look at that ring and the spider brooch!!). I bet they make you happy each time you wear them. Great variety too, so you always have exactly the right piece at hand. </p> <p>I've really enjoyed this, thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1745059 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 05:27:59 +0000 Anonymous 1745059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, (and anyone interested!) here are a few more of my favorite pieces! Thanks for letting me share.<br /> The first is a mabe pearl ring with a frog and snail. The spider brooch is 18kt and tahitian and probably my favorite pearl piece of all, simply 'cause it's a spider!<br /> The next are jade and freshwater pearl, then sterling flower and pearl earrings I made and three necklaces I made, followed by some faux of which my favorite is the last one, I Iove the crystal clasp and dark thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1745026 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 02:13:46 +0000 Anonymous 1745026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge!!

On the contrary!-) <br />I've added my small collection below (definitely wouldn't mind adding a few more pieces).<br />ETA Still need to photograph my lariat pearl necklace.</p> <p>Beth Ann, I love your necklaces too (and look how happy you look in the first picture!-) And we are pearl ear crawler twins, I always think of you when I sport mine.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1744673 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 02:46:26 +0000 Beth Ann 1744673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun thread! &nbsp;I've enjoyed it thoroughly (and welcome to Jipp)</p> <p>Bella, I have a cluster necklace very similar to yours, that I love to wear with a black and white Breton style tee. &nbsp;I like to mix my long strands with a monogrammed gold locket I received on my 10th birthday, and I have a two different short strands of freshwaters that I pair with a simple freshwater pendant. &nbsp;I sometimes mix the pearls in 3 with the locket in 2.</p> <p>The ear crawlers are similar to a pair I bought at Nordies last year. &nbsp;Mine don't have visible gold -- just pearl. &nbsp;Love em! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1744630 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 00:00:09 +0000 Anonymous 1744630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, thank you!

I am a pearl loving gal myself, and can imagine these bringing you tons of joy (wearing them, and just looking at them too;-)<br />Thanks so much for taking the time to photograph and post them. I for one would love to see the faux collection too (if that's not too greedy of me;-)</p> <p>Karie and Penny, your necklaces are beautiful too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1744215 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 21:21:38 +0000 catgirl 1744215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella!

This is about 3/4 of the genuine pearl collection along with a few freshwater and genstone or beaded pieces I made for myself at the end. If anyone wants to see the faux collection, I'll whip it out too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1744084 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:37:51 +0000 Penny 1744084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to UmmLila for posting the NM Last Call links - I found one on the site that I loved and has now arrrived. My preference is graduated, with some metal (preferably rhodium-plated, to avoid tarnish), classic yet modern, and neither too delicate nor too bold - finally, this Majorica necklace fit the bill in every way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection/page/2#post-1743600 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 04:54:36 +0000 Anonymous 1743600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I didn't delve into my faux pearls but here are (will add tomorrow) most of my real ones, as well as, a batch of mixed media ones I made for myself with very inexpensive freshwater pearls! I'd be happy to dig out the faux collection too. Looking forward to seeing everyone's and loving those I've seen. </p> <p>My only quandary... is it not gonna let me post pics yet? I don't see the option here. Just looked and found my own answer. One more day until I am official and then I'll add the pics here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection#post-1743587 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 03:58:03 +0000 Anonymous 1743587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Groovy, Bella!

Friday one of my favorite faux pearl and crystal necklaces broke. It came home with me in a biohazard bag - someone I was with has a funny sense of humor.....</p> <p>It certainly wasn't a high quality necklace, but I liked it, and wore it frequently. I'm looking for a replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection#post-1743317 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 12:16:21 +0000 Karie 1743317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I added some of my pearls to my Finds. I don't see pearls as ever going out of style. I wear my pearl necklaces from the 1980's just as often as I wear my new purchases. Most of my pearls are white, but I love multicolored ones too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-pearl-collection#post-1743315 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 11:51:38 +0000 Jjsloane 1743315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see you again Bella!
