REAL, GREY, FRESH WATER, ANY TIPE BUT PEARLS
Can you wear them?
Was your mother wearing them?
Was your granny wearing them?
For quite some time they have disappeared, buried into female bon-ton oblivion. Then suddenly -with the help of the financial crisis and the forced revival of the classics- the pearls make a comeback.
In Paris the teenagers buy them for ten euros per kilo in Chinese shops, in Italy they find them in second hand markets. More and more teenagers wear pearls rings, necklaces, bracelets or hairslides. It doesn’t matter if they are real or fake: the essential is to have loads of them. About the matching: you need to wear them with extreme mini skirts and stripy tops or jeans and black leather jackets.
The story goes that the real ones bring you bad luck especially if it was a gift from a man.
According to Coco Chanel they brighten up the complexion and make the whiteness of the teeth stand out.
Michelle Obama, America’s First Lady, claims that when elegance must triumph, pearls are an additional weapon.
Queen Elisabeth is an enthusiast of the classic single strand pearl necklace.
Lady Diana, the “Queen of hearts” as queen of pearls, linked her cult-image to beautiful necklaces.
