Well, someone seems to love pearls just as much as we do. When it comes to the “Born This Way” artist, Lady Gaga knows how to make a statement and she proved it by showing up at the 2010 amfAR Annual Gala wearing pearls all over her body.

Pearl Fashion: Fashionable in Black, Gold and Pearls

Pearls are not just for Granny anymore! Class up your black and white and make it Coco Chanel! Add a little gold for the look of glamour! Nothing beats a really great top with a cluster of pearls.

The short A-line skirt is the right amount of youth without being “too young”. A pair of great chunky heels covered in gold and pearls does the trick for a little drama and never forget a good clutch for added richness. read more

Pearl Information

Pearls are simply Mother Nature’s perfect gift to us. Pearls emerge from the shell as perfect little gifts. A pearl does not need to be faceted, cut then polished like most other jewelry stones. Instead, a pearl is perfect and finished right out of the shell. From there, we have a variety of choices to wear our beautiful pearls. A necklace made from pearls is perfect for every occasion. From casual, to the office and to the very forma, there is nothing more appropriate than pearls. But pearls are not just for necklaces any more. There are perfect pearls for any jewelry piece. From earrings to bracelets and pendants, there’s nothing as simply perfect as pearls. read more
