Pearl collars are usually made up of three of more strands and lie snugly on the middle of the neck. Very
Victorian in origin, pearl collars look best with elegant V-neck, boat neck or off the shoulder fashions. |
The pearl Choker is perhaps the most classic and yet versatile of all the single strand lengths. A simple pearl choker
can go with virtually any outfit from casual to fancy evening wear, and just about any neckline imaginable. |
The Princess length necklace is best suited for crew and high necklines. It also complements low plunging necklines.
Hint - it's perfect support for a pendant. |
Longer than the choker; and just a bit shorter than an opera length, the matinee necklace is the right choice for casual
or business dressing and is guaranteed to add a chic touch to any ensemble |
The opera necklace is the queen of all lengths. When worn as a single strand, it is refined and perfect for high or
crewnecks.. When doubled upon itself, it serves as a versatile two-strand choker. The historic origins come from its association with well to do Renassaince women who patronized the opera. Today, you
just need to love pearls, not Puccini. |
Dripping with elegance and sensuously sexy, the pearl rope was a favorite of Coco Chanel. Ask your jeweler
about mystery clasps placed in strategic locations around the necklace that will enable you to break it down into multi stranded necklace and bracelet combinations. For those looking for a complete pearl
wardrobe, this length is a must. |
An old legend tells us that pearls were formed when dewdrops filled the moonlight, fell into the ocean and were swallowed
by oysters. While the information I presented today is not nearly as romantic, one thing remains consistent: pearls on girls are a marvelous combination. |
