ASK MS. ELITOU: Are Pearls Good for Your Everyday Woman?

 “Hey Ms. Elitou! I have been looking at the Pearls Only jewelry and I wanted to know do you think that pearls are for the everyday woman? Can the average woman who has the hustle and bustle of work, constant outings, all while maintaining the responsibilities of raising children get a great amount of use from pearl jewelry? I am a mother of two and I find that I have little time to switch up my jewelry, I need them to go with everything and I need to be able to move fast.  I would love to invest in diamonds but I am too worried about the cost and the possibility of losing an earring due to my fast moving lifestyle. Do you think pearls would be a better fit for me? Thanks in advance!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -Catherine B. read more

CELEBRITIES IN PEARLS: Rihanna Looks Great in Pearl Jeans!

Rihanna is becoming the Queen of pearls! She seems to always be wearing a pair in her ears, on her neck, around her glasses and now she has taken it a step further by wearing them on her jeans.

Rihanna is such a trendsetter so it was only natural for her to wear a pair of pearl embellished jeans by a really unique and trendy brand, Tu Es Mon Tresor.

Tu Es Mon Tresor has really futuristically chic clothing including loads of clothing with pearl accents.

In April, Rihanna was spotted heading to a party at the Supper Club in Hollywood, California wearing a stylish pair of Tu Es Mon Tresor Boyfriend Jeans with Pearls down the sides. The jeans were complemented with a cute Chanel jacket and bandeau top. She made the pearls really pop by choosing to pair them with a pair of silver pumps. read more

We at Pearl’s Only decided to take a look back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign and we loved it just as much as we did before!

The line featured great fashion but what really caught our attention was their gorgeous attention to detail with their jewelry—their pearls in particular!

The line created by Dior’s accessories designer, Camille Miceli, really caught the delicate beauty of pearls and gave it a stunning modern twist.

We really found the pearl collar necklace to be dynamic while the double sided pearl studs brought a much appreciated upgrade to your everyday pearl earrings. read more
