Pearl Necklaces: The Quintessential "Must Have" In Your Jewelry Collection

posted on 23 April 2011 | posted in Fashion


If you could own and wear only one perfect jewelry item, a pearl necklace is the one you would want. Unrivaled in beauty, versatility and the ability to be effortlessly appropriate for every occasion from casual to formal, pearl necklaces are the ideal jewelry piece.

Single or multiple strands composed entirely of pearls of a variety of types are a perfect alternative for any occasion where a understated but elegant fashion statement is required. Colored beads interspersed within the strands can add color and enhance simple pearl designs. Single pearl necklaces and pendants are especially elegant when combined with diamonds or other precious gems in a variety of settings.

Because pearl necklaces are available in a multitude of styles and price ranges, they make wonderful gifts and owning more than one is not out of reach. Pearl necklaces have been a solid fashion choice for women throughout history and continue to the present with fashionable first ladies including Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan and Michele Obama.
