Mother of Pearls

That box of your grandmother's heirlooms was shaken up as it was passed down from your grandmother, to your mother, to you. Go rummaging for “white” pearls, and you'll be faced with so many color choices, you'll feel ecstatic and stuck all at once, just like you do every time you shop. Knocked up’s Emmy-winning actress, Katherine Heigl, at the Desperate Housewives premiere, layered her natural pearls with necklaces of varying lengths, demonstrating a new twist on an old tradition. Swarovski carries crystals in more than 31 flavors and they make no exception for pearls. The Sterling Goddess “From The Sea Collection” includes some of the winter season’s most desired selections, including natural Akoya Pearls, Swarovski Pearls, and Freshwater pearls.

How Low Can You Go?

We’ll always pledge allegiance to the choker, but many of us are lengthening our strides. Opera necklaces that meet or fall below the bust have versatile design possibilities. Television guru and talk show host, Adrienne Janic, flatters her neckline with a layered piece: It wraps around her neck at choker length, falls below her collarbone, then makes a grand sweep down the center for elegant symmetry. R &B Singer Rhianna and The Food Network’s darling, Rachael Ray, wear striking pendants with their long chains. Sterling Goddess offers lengthier pieces in crystal , beads and silver combinations, and paired with unique pendants.
