Pearls

I remember as a child getting into my moms closet and wearing her clothes and jewelry and pretend I was an elegant lady like her. Amongst the pieces that I liked the most were always her pearl necklaces, because I have always loved the soft shine they have and their subtle yet chic elegance.


Pearls have signified beauty and value for many centuries because naturally occurring pearls are rare and beautiful. Most pearls we wear today are cultured or farmed in either freshwater or saltwater and are created by either clams or oysters. They are created by inserting a foreign object into the the shell where they create layers of a type of calcium around it.


Pearls are delicate and cared for. If you own them avoid having them come into contact with anything acidic like citrus fruits, vinegar, wine and even perfume. Next time you plan to year them, spray perfume before putting them on or on your clothes far from them.


 Pearls are perfect to dress up any outfit as they go with any outfit and add the right amount of sophistication a day outfit or can be the perfect complement to an LBD. Do you own any pearls? Are they a family  heirloom? 

Have a lovely weekend and be fabulous!

    I love pearls too. They are my favourite to wear, I also love rubies and sapphires. Far more than diamonds actually. Pearls go with any outfit, any style, they are versatile and sophisticated indeed. I hope you have a great weekend doll :)) xx

    That's such a lovely and elegant post, really enjoyed it. Yes, I own one very delicate pearl necklace which was a present from my mum. I very rarely wear them though as I always feel slightly overdressed when I do... Have a lovely weekend xo

    I have been loving the layered pearl look lately. Classy and modern at the same time. Pearls are always a good idea.

    I'm a pearl girl too! I've been wearing them for the longest. They're so classic and can be layered beautifully.

    Love the vintage femininity of pearls, they are some of the most timeless piece of jewellery.

    Despite owning a jewelry boutique I have never worn pearls (in any shape or form). I don't really know why. I think I always associate them with some of the classic Hollywood beauties (who were always a little older than me). Maybe I should start being more adventurous ;-)

    I have some pearl jewelry, but I hardly wear them since I have bit of a rough and tumble life :)

    I love pearls, I think they look so elegant but I feel like they don't suit me so unfortunately my pearls spend most of their time in their velvety boxes :( .... I guess that with time I will learn to appreciate them more ;) love the first pic!
