Has anyone else noticed? Recently pearls have developed a real attitude. No longer content to be a dainty afterthought, pearls have turned edgy.

Years ago, with Jackie Kennedy as their inspiration, women wore simple white pearls (real or glass) knotted on silk cord. And for decades, very little changed.

Until now. Today’s pearls are new and edgier. Available in unique shapes and colors, mixed with chains and spikes, worn on leather or even salvaged…these aren’t your mother’s pearls! Following are examples of some of the many choices available.

Keshi and Freshwater Pearls

Salvaged Pearls

Mixed with Chain

With Spikes

 

On Leather

Or available in Rich Colors

Do you like the new attitude in pearls? Or do you prefer traditional?
