Pearls, Politics & Personality

Sarah Jessica Parker wear them on Carrie’s big day in Sex in the City.  

Audrey Hepburn made them famous in Breakfast at Tiffany's. 

Jackie O's signature double strands are legendary. 

They are a staple for brides, sorority women and most that hold the title of First Lady. Seemingly unassuming and subdued, pearls have a way of making quite the statement.

• Wear your pearls with a T-shirt and jeans for a casual look with an upscale edge. 
• Multiple long strands of pearls make a little black dress ultra chic for a cocktail party. 
• Wear suits during the day? Select colored pearls of larger size for a clean & bold look.

No matter how you choose to wear your pearly whites, make them your own by allowing your personality to shine through!  How do you wear your pearls???

Pearls of Wisdom...

Care of Pearls:

Pearls are quite soft and should be treated very delicately. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steamers as they are harsh and can damage the pearl. Wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wearing or, for more thorough cleanings, use mild soap and water. If knotted, make sure cord is completely dry before wearing.

Meaning of Pearls:
It is thought by some that pearls promote sincereity, truth and loyalty. The inner glow pearls is thought to soothe, calm and focus attention. Pearls are also believed to signify innocence and faith.

Girls Love Pearls!

Pearls never go out of style and never disappoint! They are a staple in every woman's wardrobe from elegant and chic to edgy and sexy.




Pearls are one of the earliest gemstones found, most likely along the coastline of India. They've been used for personal adornment and enjoyed throughout the world for thousands of years.

Most pearls today are cultured. Marine and freshwater mollusks (oysters and mussels) are collected and a small shell bead placed inside. The mollusks are then returned to the water where they make the pearl. It takes approximately 3 to 7 years for mollusks to produce a single pearl!
