Accessorising With Pearl Jewellery

Posted by admin on August 26, 2009

Columbus’s discovery of pearls in the New World started the great age of the pearl in Europe. When he discovered America he called it the ‘land of pearls’ as they were the principal export from America.

Pearls are a timeless symbol of style and now most women have their classic pearl necklace and pearl earrings as part of their everyday life.  Pearl jewellery is no longer just affordable for Queens and nobility but due to pearl cultivation, pearls are for us all from the Queen to Madonna.  Hilary Clinton is seen most times with her south sea pearl necklace and most recently Michelle Obama has been seen wearing a multi string pearl necklace.

Those in the limelight like to wear pearls and they are the dazzling accessory of choice for royalty, Hollywood legends and magnates in business and politics – whether it be a pearl necklace, pearl earrings or a pearl bracelet.  They recognise how inherently flattering pearls are and that they convey an image that is at once elegant and sophisticated as well as timeless and classic.

At By Elise the online pearl jewellery store and designer pearl boutique you can find many types of freshwater pearls from the baroque to the more conventional classic round shape.  Pearls are Elise’s first love and she mixes them with many other stones making the stones come alive when they are mxed with the pearls.  Many of the By Elise designs make womderful presents for Mothers Day, Valentines Day, Christmas and birthdays. The pearls in the pearl gallery can also make the finishing touch to bride for her wedding jewellery.

Pearls are wonderful natural objects that do not need polishing or cutting like gem stones but they do need looking after.  A useful tip is to put your pearls on last as you do not want to let them get covered in make-up or perfume, and wipe them with a damp cloth to keep them clean and full of lustre.  Above all – enjoy them.
