Hi Everybody!
 
I have noticed a recent commercial popping up featuring two political personalities: none other than Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich sitting next to each other on a couch! The two politicians put their differences aside to talk about something that matters to us all: Global Warming and the effects of Climate Change on the planet, as part of the “We Can Solve It” campaign sponsored by former Vice President and the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Al Gore. While the two hard-hitting politicos don’t see eye to eye on every issue to confront the American government, it is fantastic to see them agree on all of us actively taking responsibility to reduce our environmental impact on the planet we call home!
  
Pelosi, wearing her Signature strand of mixed Golden, White and Black South Sea pearls looks elegant and refined as always! I couldn’t resist tracking down a color image of the commercial to feature here on our blog. As a business woman in the spotlight, Pelosi instinctively understands that pearls are the accessory- understated, a classic and no-nonsense statement, while very much accentuating her beauty and character!
 
Out of all the gems in the world that are worn- diamonds, rubies, sapphire and emeralds among others, pearls can easily claim to be the most eco-friendly gem available to consumers world wide. Mollusks- be it Freshwater or the Saltwater varieties- that are used to culture pearls depend upon pristine waters and a stable living environment in order to thrive and produce. Unlike most faceted gems, pearls require zero destructive mining, chemical leaching and other hazardous activities in order to bring their natural beauty to shine in the world.  Psst, Nancy… We love your pearls!!                                                 **Photo Courtesy of newt.org
