Prominent Pearl Sightings - The Sandra Bullock Pearly Edition

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

 

Hi Everybody!

Prominent Pearl Sightings is BACK! And oh my goodness, did I really, truly, nearly miss Sandra Bullock getting nominated for an Oscar?!?! One of my very favorite actresses, Sandra Bullock (probably the nicest actress, ever!) chose to rock the very chunky, layered look with a collection of pearls for the recent premiere of The Proposal, in front of the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, CA. 

 

As for this fun and funky style, it looks as though her strands consist of a triple strand Akoya, one or two pearly Opera Length ropes doubled up, and some faux pearls with large chunky chain extenders and some other mixed media (dyed phooka shells?) along with some large baroque Freshwater pearls; combined with her near perfect “messy” up-do, she pulls off the casual LA Day at the Beach-turned-dinner look flawlessly. Bravo, Sandra and Good Luck at the Oscars! We’re rooting for you!!

 

Psst, Sandra… we love your pearls!!

New Japanese Akoya Pearls at PurePearls.com!

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Hi Everybody!

 

I have some very exciting news about our 6.5-7.0mm Akoya pearls; as of today, PurePearls.com will be focusing exclusively on our new line of very fine, very lustrous, simply stunning Japanese Akoya pearls! Our new Japanese Akoya line is virtually spotless, featuring crisp, razor-sharp luster and gorgeous coloration that is oh-so drool worthy (see the pictures below taken with my Dinky Digital™ today for color examples).

 

Our continual desire to provide a wide range of pearl jewelry choices for all of our customers has led us in this new direction; the lack of availability of high quality Chinese Akoya in this size range, as well as multiple environmental disasters for Chinese pearl farms for the past few years, combined to help make this decision an easy one. You may notice a slight price increase due to the upgrade which we do regret, however I think at the end of the day, you’ll be totally, completely satisfied with the quality and beauty of every strand of Japanese Akoya pearls purchased through PurePearls.com. Enjoy!

Hi Everybody!

 

Ooh Halloween! It’s one of my absolute favorite Holidays where we can all indulge a bit in our Wild Side for one fun, spooky and thrilling night. Costume balls, masquerades and trick or treating galore! This year, my daughter wants to go as Alice in Wonderland (“the Gothic kind, Mom!”) and so I’ve been doing a little bit of research about creative ideas online here and there when today I stumbled across this ethereal and striking still of Anne Hathaway as the White Queen in the new Burton-directed Alice in Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp.

 

Now, I am always looking for ways to feature pearl treasures and fashion, and the costume designer has pulled off the pearl trim beautifully! The dress begins to recall some of the Victorian-era pearl excesses without being overly-indulgent, but still very beautiful and detailed. I hope you all enjoy Halloween’s Prominent Pearl Sighting!

 

Psst, Anne… we love your pearls!!!

Prominent Pearl Sightings & Back to School Fashion!

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Hi Everybody!

 

We all know September is notorious for featuring Back to School Fashion trends and ideas, and this blog is no exception. I’m taking this opportunity to combine one of my very favorite blog features, Prominent Pearl Sightings along with Latest Trends to showcase the famous songstress, Rhianna pairing one of my favorite pearl jewelry trends with reigning classics in one gorgeous photo- I hope you all enjoy!

 

Rhianna appeared recently at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in London looking oh-so Coco Channel with layers upon layers upon layers of gorgeous pearly treasures- it appears as though she’s mixed cultured and synthetic pearls here, and finished off the look with a demure pair of Pearl Stud Earrings and perfectly done vintage Red lips. Our hat’s off to you Rhianna, for a fabulous look that combines all the Old World Glamour of the 1940’s with the Glam Rock of 1990’s- Bravo!
