MAJOR TIP FOR PEARL WEARING: never ever have your pearls come into contact with your perfume. The alcohol in the perfume will destroy the surface of the pearl. Did that one and learned a tough lesson.

@annamp3645 Жыл бұрын

Was it a real pearl ?

@kathleenclark5877 Жыл бұрын

Anna! Yes. REAL pearls, not plastic. Pearls are organic so the delicate outer surface that the oyster creates to cause less personal irritation on its part is subject to damage from the alcohol in the perfume.

@deborahcurtis1385 Жыл бұрын

Not just perfume. Always remove the pearls before you use eye make up remover or use any solvents. You can have residue left on your hands and face and it can be dynamite to the delicate pearl surface. Also do not neglect your pearls especially if antique as, over time they can degrade and go grey. There are guides about what to do and how to maintain them.

Thank you so much. Like all Southern girls, I adore pearls. In our culture, pearls are used to mark major life events. A young woman will receive her first pearls from her Daddy for her sixteenth birthday or debut. Usually she will get a single strand chocker length and possibly a pair of simple studs. For her wedding, she will receive either a longer double strand or a bracelet from her new husband. Then major anniversaries or birthdays are punctuated with pearl rings or brooches. Building a full suite of pearls that mark the memorable occasions. So fun and always makes me nostalgic when I wear them.

This is a tradition, also, among some families in the Spanish Caribbean. I got my first pearls for my quinceanero (15th b-day), then for HS, college, and PhD graduations. Several other milestones, like my 50th trip around the sun, have been marked by pearls, either given to me or purchased as a gift "from me to me". I love them all, but I have 2 that hold extra special meaning: a "peachy" pair that I fished and shucked during a Scuba diving trip in Hawaii and had made into earrings studs, and a single iridescent "black" one with a purple-and-green sheen, also shucked by me. This one I had set in platinum to be worn as a necklace pendant.

I bought my first cultured pearl earrings in 1990 then went thru a silver and turquoise phase. I came back to pearls in the early 2000s and really got hooked. My husband added to my collection since he didn't know what else to get for me! Learning about pearls was fun and here's a fun pearl legend: the older you get the larger the pearl "should" get! And even if you have to save up, nothing feels better than a "real" pearl as it warms on your skin.

I used to think that pearls weren't for me - they were too perfect, too elegant, too traditional for my style. Then I saw KESHI pearls. They are pearls formed without a nucleus - pure nacre. There's an example at 4:09, the necklace on the right. They have the irregularity of a baroque pearl and the flatness of a button pearl. I got a set for my wedding from a local jeweler and they got more compliments than my dress lol! Since then, I put my hair up to wear them and people will stop me on the street to ask where I got them.

Very informative video. As to pearls; my father was a gemologist but also specialized in them and hopefully you don't mind me adding a few tips when purchasing/shopping for them. Often some of the best buys can actually be found in thrift/2nd hand stores where many will include knotting by hand between each pearl, be graduated in size and have a high-end clasp. Also their length will have a bearing on value. To conclude; also shall add 'avoid' their contact with hair spray or perfume as can ruin their luster over time.

I wear classic small golden pearls bought in memory of Lady Diana, with another string of same size from thrift shop which sit at base of neck together with my black quince crew neck sweater and jeans and boots. They don’t look stuffy. If yours are long wear with a v neck. Her example of long pearls with pale tee shirt is great, with something else.

Love pearls and really enjoyed this video. Maybe one day you could take a look at Diana the Princess of Wales and how she wore pearls. From her classic “revenge” pearls to the “Elvis” dress. She sure knew how to rock the look. Actually all the royals know how to wear pearls. I like baroque pearls which I think are blisters on the mother of pearl shell that are then cut out to create jewels. If this to be a series I would like to see your take on opals and turquoise

@TheDriftwoodlover Жыл бұрын

Actually, those are called blister pearls. Baroque pearls are asymmetrical pearls that have like a little knob at one end, formed when more nacre deposits in one area.

What a lovely subject. Pearls are my second favorite gem. I usually pair a strand of pearls ( pink tone) with emerald pendant ( 18k gold chain) and the combination is my absolute favorite. The richness of the gold sets the pearls and emerald off so nicely. If I am wearing and emerald ring, there is a pearl bracelet on my wrist!

Thank you so much for this video! My pearls have been getting lonely during pandemic b/c I didn’t go out much, but you’ve inspired me to get them out and dust them off and get back to wearing them.

In the lot was vintage monet glass strands, a chunky faux pearl, crystal goldtone Monet choker. A multi strand Carolee glass choker. A multi strand seed pearl choker with matching bracelet, some fun chunky earrings, and some double pearl earrings that I think may be real. I bought the lot for $24 and they are in great condition - having a fun time looking at what they go with in my wardrobe.

My husband bought me a pearl necklace and earrings 37 years ago which are still beautiful. One thing you didn’t mention were pearl enhancers. I had a few favorites broaches and pendants modified a few years ago with bails so that I could easily snap them over my pearls to create a different look to them.

@pamelah2850 Жыл бұрын

I've always worried about pearlenhancers, because they ten to rub on the pearls. My preferred way to wear and enhancer is on a separate chain so that the enhancer isn't in direct contact with the pearls. I would like to know if this is a real worry, or just me.

lovely video - for East Coast and Europan viewers keep in mind that pearl studs have an air of girliness to them, white pearls are mainly for Japanese ladies or those who are not afraid of flaunting a recent fortune, as black pearls may mainly be seen as suitable for those of exceeding wealth The first piece of advice is lovely - have lots of fun with replicas! And when you settle for a type - have just as much fun finding just the right pearls. It may take a very long time to find the right especially with very expensive pearls, so if you wish to give them as a present make sure to prepare the whole thing in advance! Have fun! 😄

I do love baroque style pearls, rice shape etc Mostly white but also pinkish or grey. Great video to discover more info about these beautiful creations ❤
