I see three removable charms ... I'm thinking, earrings and a pendant. Ahhh...I never thought of it that way.;) Continue Reading In Jewelry Talk 1367957304.93 ennui, I really liked that Fireball charm bracelet, but the problem is, I'm not sure when I'd wear it. Since the pearls dangle, it's not something I'd wear around the house or to the grocery store for fear of damaging them, and I just don't go out for special things very much, so I decided to go with the pendant which for me is more wearable. I buy bracelets, and then they have a habit of sitting in their boxes.;) Continue Reading In Jewelry Talk 1367520282.017 On 5/2/2013 ennui said: MissLynn, the blue baroque Akoyas are my favorites. Yes ennui, someday I will have my dream strand.:) Continue Reading In Jewelry Talk 1367514552.383 Congrats LitGeek on your Akoyas! I love the blue baroques...I have a little 6.5 to 7mm 18 inch strand and a 8.5 - 9mm bracelet. I was considering a strand...it was on my short list, but I really want one in 8 - 8.5 mm and that was just a bit over budget right now, so that remains on my wishlist.;) Continue Reading In Jewelry Talk 1367341661.9 On 4/30/2013 ilovegreengems said: These are gorgeous, MissLynn! Your story about your color-shift pearls reminded me of my experience last year with the fireballs. I bought myself a starnd last year for my birthday- not of the huge ones, but a more modest (affordable!) size. I had them hidden away in my closet to save until the actual day, and every time I'd sneak a peak I wasn't sure about them- until I got them out and actually wore them in the daytime- what a difference the lighting makes! Yes, if there's one thing I've learned about pearls it's that you really have to live with them for ...

I have blonde hair and blue eyes, but my skin tone is more toward a medium shade and it tans very easily, although I haven't purposely tried to tan it for about 25 years.:) Yellow gold looks best on me as far as metals go. Continue Reading In Jewelry Talk 1367272244.623 Those Edisons sure are pretty. Someday I'd love to have a strand of larger metallic pearls, as all of my strands are in the 6.5 - 7 and 7 - 7.5 range. The color shift was one of the 5.0 - 8.5 graduated strands that were on sale at Christmas. Smaller is generally okay for me though as I tend to layer them, but I'd love to have a larger mm strand. For now, the Fireball is nice and large for when I'm wanting large.:) Funny thing with my color shift strand Ezzy, was that I didn't love it out of the box. It arrived in the early evening and it was in one of the PP black boxes so when I opened...

In the photo is a peach/gold strand, a peach/gold pendant (I've had both for a few years.), and a color shift strand that I purchased for Christmas. I have three other strands not photograhed...the original two multi color strands I bought and a copper color one I got for my last anniversary.
