HOLIDAY HANADAMA PEARLS

 

 

The Holiday Season is coming - the most wonderful time of the year! And what better time to break out your prettiest pearls than gathering together with family and friends and going to the many Holiday parties being held?! 

So this post is dedicated to the pearls with the highest luster, the clearest overtones, the most perfectly round shape and most iconic look of all time: the Certified Hanadama Akoya pearl. 

Let's explore some beauty, some fashion ideas and most of all: dream of that pearly luster. 

 

 

"THE" Pearl Necklace

Whether you decide to wear a classic princess length single strand pearl necklace, wrap a long opera length necklace multiple times or layer them with some of your other strands, there is simply no way to go wrong with the icon of style: the White Hanadama Akoya Pearl Necklace.

 

 

The Classic Single Strand: The single strand Hanadama Akoya Pearl Necklace worn in either  a 16 or 18-Inch length is absolutely timeless, and adds an air of elegance and understated fabulousness that will simply never go out of style. Especially during the Holidays!

Opera Length Pearl Necklaces: The long, swanky Opera Length Hanadama Pearl Necklace is sure to turn heads every where you go! 

Whether worn long and loose, or doubled up into a chic multi-layer pearl necklace, the 36-Inch length gives you plenty to play around with to create the perfect Holiday look. We especially like this paired with the dark burgundy trousers and short tweed jacket. Photo credit Glaminati

 

 

Layered Pearl Necklaces: Pearls and plaid ... two classics that at first glance can sound old fashioned. But if you're a bonafide pearl lover, then you've likely got enough pearl strands at home to pull off the multiple layers of pearls that give this Holiday outfit its chic and pearlfectly pretty edge.

We also love the dark burgundy colored sweater, but any dark jewel-toned color would do nicely for the Holidays. We recommend sticking with white pearl strands to emphasize the contrast for maximum eye-catching appeal. Photo credit Stylish Petit

 

 

The Multi Strand Pearl Necklace: Ready to go all out Glam? Then perhaps a Double or Triple Strand Hanadama Necklace is just the ticket. 

The Double and Triple Strand Pearl Necklace combines the feeling of Old Hollywood glitz with modern elegance for a look that is 100% Holiday appropriate. Strung at nested lengths of 16/17/18 or 17/18/19-Inches, we can create multi-strand necklaces at any length you desire.

 

 

The Double Strand Pearl Necklace: Double the pleasure with a larger pearl size, and your pearls can really pack a Holiday punch! Whether paired with a sweater and pea coat for a wintery office look, or pair your pearls with a velvet Holiday party dress - we guarantee you'll feel like a Holiday Season queen! Photo credit: Extra Petite

 

 

 

Iconic Pearl Earrings

The iconic white pearl earring is a timeless and stylish classic for a reason. Put on a pair of pearl earrings, and Bam! Instant Elegance is added to any outfit. Even pajamas. Yes, I am serious, having fallen asleep in my pearls on (rare!) occasion. So it's no surprise that this Holiday Season we are ALL about wearing pearl earrings to add a touch of Holiday Glam. 

 

 

The Classic Pearl Stud: The Hanadama Akoya Pearl Stud Earring is hands down my favorite when it comes to wearing pearl studs. Their glossy, mirror-like luster and shimmering iridescence is definitely noticeable, no matter how big or small the pearls and adds Holiday elegance to any outfit in a split-second. 

Our most popular sizes are:

7.0-7.5mm for the "Go-To" every day classic look. The 7.0-7.5mm pearls is considered the most versatile and age-appropriate for women from 18 to 60 years old.

8.5-9.0mm to up the elegance and to grab attention without being overly loud. This is our Best Selling Hanadama Pearl size for both Earrings and Necklaces.

9.5-10.0mm for some impressive WOW factor! These are the largest size possible for Akoya pearls, and are made to be noticed.

 

 

Pearl Dangle Earrings: A simple Dangle Earring can add a ton of glamour to any Holiday outfit. We advocate for adding some diamond sparkle too, to truly pull off the glitzy Holiday party look. Try our Hanadama Pearl and Diamond Dangle Earrings or our swanky Hanadama Pearl and Diamond Serena Dangle Earrings for EXTRA gorgeous sparkle!

 

 

Classy Pearl Bracelets

The Single Strand: Pearl Bracelets are an underdog when it comes to pearl jewelry ... but they shouldn't be! The Hanadama Pearl Single Strand Bracelet is a refined yet luxurious way to create some Holiday charm this year.

 

 

 

Pearl Tin Cup and Bangle Bracelets: Whether you're dressing up posh, or dressing down casual, a pearl bangle or a slinky Pearl Tin Cup Bracelet is an excellent choice for accessorizing your Holiday look.

I am loving the femme fatale tuxedo look with the velvet jacket, skinny trousers and heels. The perfect finishing touches here are multiple pearl bangle bracelets, lots of pearl rings and a pearl embellished clutch. Sophisticated Brit, meet New Years Eve! Photo credit Glaminati

 

 

Double and Triple Strand Pearl Bracelets: To really up the Holiday party outfit ante you could always opt for a Triple Strand Japanese Hanadama Pearl and Diamond Bracelet! What a dazzling way to add some sparkle to your Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah through New Year's gatherings. 

I hope I've inspired you all to enjoy your pearls this Holiday Season!! My all-time FAVORITE Holiday is coming up soon (Thanksgiving is just so warm and cozy and ... NICE! Haha :D) and I know I can't wait to rock one of my Pearl Ropes to the family gathering. 

Until next time ...

 

XO,
