Pearls. While sitting here thinking about what to share for this blog entry, my pearl necklace kept catching my eye as it laid on my dresser. They are the simplest, loveliest accessory. Aside from the exquisite diamond, a strand of pearls seems to stand the test of time above all other gems. The most highly regarded women of all time have adorned the soft, glowing beads. Recently I did a project on the late Grace Kelly, the Princess of Monaco. Almost every photograph I have seen of her, shows her wearing a classic strand of luminescent pearls: on picnics, on the beach, at royal galas, and while playing with her children.
I think that pearls are the perfect metaphor for a modern, classy lady. They offer a finishing touch to a lovely ensemble as a lady's presence does in any room. They aren't ostentatious but just dazzling enough to catch interest. Lastly, they are as polished and sweet today as they were a century ago... and will be a century from now.
