Hi Girls

Ok, we have talked about famous diamonds, emeralds and engagement rings but what about famous pearls? Yes, we know about diamond rings that you have to work out to wear but what dazzling attention would you gain if you carried around a pearl that weights 25.5 Grams? That is what the Imperial Hong Kong Pearl Weighs. This gorgeous pearl was then set in Platinum and Diamonds and made into a pendant.

Or how about the Arco Valley pearl which is a mere 575 carats? Not too shabby a gift from Marco Polo to Khubilai Khan, don’t you think? What kind of alliances could be formed if a particularly amorous suitor bestowed this lovely pearl on you? Or the slightly larger Pearl of Asia which weighs in at a lovely 600 carats.

Pearls have always held a distinguished place in the history of jewelry. Celebrities and royals alike have held them in high regard and used them to display their wealth in the most tasteful way possible. Isn’t it time you joined their ranks?

Hi Girls

June is just a few days away and that is a sign that you should get your pearls out of storage. June babies have pearls wrapped around their little fingers, as their birth stone. Classy, yet simple these lovely strings are perfect for garden parties, summer dresses and adding that special bit of innocence to any outfit.

For those of you who can remember, actress Mary Pickford wore only pearls when she was filmed and Audrey Hepburn’s pearls in Breakfast at Tiffany’s are infamous. Pearls are one of the easiest jewels to wear as they can make even the simplest outfit shine.

They also make a wonderful gift for all of your friends that have June birthdays and they are very reasonably priced. So you can stop wracking your brains on what to get her this year. See how easy I make life for you?

Hi Girls

Think pearls are something only your aunt Fannie would wear? Think again. Although today’s modern fashions lean toward more revealing outfits, there are certain styles that remain classic like the infamous black cocktail dress and a string of lustrous pearls. Audrey Hepburn brought pearls into their own with her lovely strand in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

“Ok” you say, “but that was back then.” Who do you know who actually wears them today? How about Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears and Sandra Bullock. Yes, these savvy celebs realize that class never goes out of style. Some celebrities even go so far as to wear pearl belts.

Yes, pearls continue to be in fashion so add them to your must haves, along with that cocktail dress that makes you feel beautiful, feminine and always in style.

Hi all

When I think of pearls, I think of Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O. Apparently though this classic has made a come back on celebrities as young and hip as Lindsey Lohan. She was seen wearing a simple, yet elegant pearl drop necklace.

Obviously not her grandmother’s pearls, these were strung simply and elegantly, allowing the actual necklace to show.

Here are some similar designs that you can try:

These are perfect out and about necklaces. They take a simple outfit and make it spectacular. The best part is that they are so subtle that people will still be commenting on how great you look and not just your jewelry.
