Pearls Just Go With Everything

vuitton-necklace-21As a preppy college student, I used to wear pearls with an Irish knit sweater to football games, and that is the closest I will ever get to revealing my age. Now I tend to wear them with suits or silk blouses.  However, while pearls are classic jewelry, they have been popping up recently in the most unsuspecting places and they look fabulous.  From Chanel sunglass arms and Prada earrings to celebrity photographs, pearls have taken center stage.  Recently, the very hip Gwyneth Paltrow and Rita Wilson were photographed in pearls by Town and Country Magazine at an LA benefit.

Pearls are the birthstone for the month of June, and are still the best milestone gift for the graduates and brides,  but they are also so much more.  For more information on the gemology of pearls click here for a “Pearls” Brief.

Looking forward, pearls are for all seasons. Louis Vuitton has created the most incredible pearl necklace (left) with their Fall Collection for 2009. It is an oversized link necklace of gold with pearls accenting each link. This necklace is a stunner, I love it!
