Prominent Pearl Sightings – Madmen Season 4 Premiere!

Ashley — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:04:23 +0000

Season 4 of Madmen has officially premiered on AMC, and I do believe that this year is going to be even more riveting than the last! I personally like to keep an eye on this show in particular for the vintage fashion come to glorious life, with pearls in particular splashing onto the fashion scene with a vengeance!

I love this image of Betty Draper (January Jones) leaning back in her sitting room chair- her body language and facial expression speak volumes about what might be happening in that room. Her gorgeous double-strand Akoya pearl necklace in particular has an undeniable feel of luxury and elegance that just gets me. Â Look for more stills from Madmen Season 4 to be making their debut on the PurePearls.com blog, this season is just too good to miss!

Psst: January, we love your pearls!!!!

Custom Tin Cup Freshwater Pearl Necklace in Pink & White

Well, itâ€™s nearly summer- traditionally a slow time for us in the jewelry industry, but a time of year that I look forward to every year, as this is the period when you start seeing a serious uptick in Custom Design commissions, when we get to break out the colored pencils, conte and watercolors and start letting our creative sides come out to play. The latest finished custom piece is a fun twist on our Tin Cup Necklace selections- I may in fact, decide to keep this piece on permanent offer in various colors depending on the response it getsâ€¦

JW has commissioned this very special necklace as an anniversary gift for his wife, and it features 13 gem quality Freshwater pearls in White and intense Pink colors, representing her children and grandchildren in alternating sequences, each measuring 9.0-9.5mm! Hand wire-wrapped into an 18-inch 14K Yellow Gold chain and finished with an easy to handle solid-gold lobster clasp, this Tin Cup necklace turned out extremely beautifully, under budget! Yes! Remember- we are always open to custom design requests, itâ€™s one of my favorite parts of the job! If you have a great idea or vision that you think we could help you with, feel free to contact me anytime and weâ€™ll get started! Enjoy!!

Luscious Pink and White Freshwater Pearl Tin Cup

New Custom Design from PurePearls.com!

Hi Everybody!

I havenâ€™t posted any custom work in a long time, but Iâ€™ve finally finished a very special project that has been in the works for awhile and I thought it would be fun to share the results. Presenting the Freshwater Cluster Necklace! Ta Daa! We hand-selected, drilled and mounted 30 white Freshwater Pearls- AAA Quality of course- ranging from 6.0mm up to 9.0mm. Each pearl was hand-stationed on the 18-Inch open-link chain with solid 14KY jump-rings which cut down on labor (no soldering) and has an added bonus: she can customize the placement of each pearl on the chain herself should she desire to do so at a later time. Pretty neat, huh?

Also later on down the road when sheâ€™s ready it will be easy to send the necklace back to us to add more pearls- mostly 8.0-9.0mms, with some 7.0-8.0mms mixed in- to make the design appear absolutely bursting with pearls! I hope you all enjoy the photo- I tried to post both the original sketches I did (complete with notes) as well as the finished piece, but alas, I am tech savvy, but not that tech savvy!Â

Prominent Pearl Sightings, Alice in Wonderland

Ashley — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:20:08 +0000

Boo!! It’s Halloween! 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 (â€œthe Gothic kind, Mom!â€) and so Iâ€™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, also 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 Halloweenâ€™s Prominent Pearl Sighting!

Psst, Anneâ€¦ we love your pearls!!!
