Every pearl is unique. You've heard it said before, each pearl is a creation of nature. It starts out in an oyster and when it's harvested it becomes a treasured piece of jewelry. Pearls fascinate us. They are organic, they remind us of the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the ocean, they have been prized for as long as we can remember. We can't get enough of their luminous shine. Pearls are an excellent choice when building a jewelry collection. Their color alone works well with everything. Not just white, some are creamy and some are rose tinted, there's something for all skin tones. Pearls drop earrings come in many colors, natural and dyed. Golden, black, and grey just to name a few. Freshwater, saltwater, all beautiful in their own way.

A classic strand always works, but with today's designs, the choices are endless. Instead you may opt for one pearl suspended from a delicate chain to mix it up a bit. Or, try a long strand to wrap or layer with chain for a more edgy, modern look that is always chic. Whether you're adding them to a cocktail dress or jeans and a sweater, pearls pull it all together.

Try long, pearl dangle earrings with tassels made of tiny pearls or a timeless stud, it's all up to you. People of all ages can enjoy the luxury of pearls. From affordable to one of a kind, there are options for every budget. Brides favor pearls for themselves and for their bridesmaids. What could be more perfect?

Not only for special occasions, pearls can be for everyday too. A leather bracelet with pearls can be a piece to enjoy for those casual days when anything else is too much. Pearls can be fresh and fun. Just like you.
