Prominent Pearl Sightings – Rachel Zoe

Ashley — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:54:15 +0000

Ooh la la! The latest edition of Prominent Pearl Sightings belongs to celebrity designer and stylist extraordinaire, Rachel Zoe. Looking positively Chanel-esque the other weekend at the 2nd Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Sunday, Oct 9, at Will Rogers State Park in Santa Monica, Ms. Zoe was spotted sporting a long, flowing pearl necklace interspersed with glittering charms at regular intervals, over a floor-length white maxi dress and the most gorgeous hat!

Pearl ropes and opera lengths are a fun and glamorous accessory for almost any occasion, and Rachel Zoe rocked it! While we’re pretty sure her pearls are faux (the better to channel Chanel!), you can find gorgeous Freshwater pearl necklaces in similar styles here starting under $250, or contact the pearl experts at PurePearls.com for custom lengths, designs and accessories.

Psst, Rachel… we love your pearls!!

Custom Creations for Charity

Hi Everybody!
Â
Since our inception, PurePearls.com has been heavily involved in giving to various charity organizations- the ones that are nearest and dearest to our hearts deal with the children who need the most help of all! Autism, cancer treatments, speech development and diabetes are just a few of the charities and organizations that we donate or try to raise awareness of eve ry year. Weâ€™ve added a new one to our list!
Â
We are proud to announce that weâ€™ve be gun working with the Foundation for Children with atypical HUS. This amazing foundation was formed and administered by Linda Burke and her brother Steve Greene, who are trying to fund the search for a cure for aHUS. Atypical HUS is a rare genetic disorder that affects the kidneys, and children diagnosed with aHUS are at very high risk for chronic complications like kidney failure and severely high blood pressureâ€¦ not much is known about this deadly disorder that can devastate the lives of children and their families, except that aHUS disorder involves mutations on a chain of proteins called factor H. Factor H contains 20 chain proteins that allow our bodies to fight infections; in aHUS patients, the last 5 of proteins in that chain do not process amino acids properly, resulting in deadly illness.
Â

It was this chain of proteins that led to a â€œEureka!â€ moment for Linda Burke and Steven Greene; they decided to contact a pearl company (Us!) to see if they could have a very special bracelet made that symbolized the 15 white (known) proteins and 5 black (unknown) proteins using Freshwater pearls. The bracelet below is the result of their brilliant idea and our collaborative efforts, and can be found on their website: atypicalhus.org. The black and white Freshwater pearl bracelets have a 14K Yellow Gold Filigree Disc clasp and a laser-engraved 14K Gold charm inscribed with aHUS. The charm bracelets retail for $295.00 each and the proceeds go directly to funding research for a cure for aHUS, and weâ€™d like to take a moment to urge everyone to follow the link to the atypicalhus.org website and either purchase a bracelet or donate today to help Mrs. Burke and Mr. Greene in their search for a cure.

Pearls For Charity has been a big part of my life ever since I started PurePearls.com.Â As a former Child Speech Pathologist and Child Language Specialist, I have always had a passion about making a difference in childrenâ€™s developmental progress and in their lives.Â Several times a year, I try to donate to various non-profit organizations through Pearls For Charity, and this year is no different!Â Â

This year, Iâ€™d like to include every one of my customers in my efforts by donating 5% of todayâ€™s sales to an organization that is dedicated to helping children born with Autism.Â The organization is called Cure Autism Now, or C.A.N.!Â You can learn more about how this fantastic association helps children and their families deal with autism, a condition that now affects 1 in 150 children throughout the United States, by visiting cureautismnow.org !Â

We all know how good it feels to make a difference in someoneâ€™s life- so Iâ€™m inviting you to join with me today for a great cause: Our Children. -Amanda
