The world of pearls exploded
Pearls have long been prized by men and women throughout the centuries as a ready to wear gem; from the royal courts throughout the ages to the advent of the first cultured Akoya pearl necklaces coming from Japan waiting to be fastened around the necks of GI Brides all over America after World War II, pearls have staked their place in history as a mainstay in fashion. And as times have changed so has the look of classic pearl jewelry.
Pearls were the first gemstone adornment used by man, owing to the fact that it is the only gem that required no cutting, polishing or refinement in any way. A unique jewel, the pearl is the only gemstone produced by a living organism; the oyster's body yields easily to man's never-ending quest for beauty incarnate. Known as "The Tears of the Gods" due to their perfectly lustrous countenances, their origins shrouded in mysticism, pearls were highly revered by the Romans, the Middle East and the Chinese, where their fame has spread the world over. Symbolizing status, purity and love, pearls quickly became the preferred jewel to adorn elegant, stylish women and brides-to-be the world over.
Fashion icon Coco Chanel revolutionized pearl fashion, using her fondness of faux pearls to complete her signature style. Who can forget the epitome of charm and grace, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's gazing into the shop window with her oversize black sunglasses and triple-strand pearl necklace? Today, we have the first female Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who prefers her numerous multi-color Tahitian and South Sea pearl necklaces to diamonds any day, to make a statement of style and intelligence that is sophisticated yet fashion-forward.
