photo: Mikimoto Pearls South Sea and Tahitian pearls are great alternatives to classic pearls. Both types of pearls are exotic and are perfect for tropical destination weddings by the beach. While the most common Tahitian color is black (or a yummy chocolate hue), the pearls also come in silver-white, green and peacock colors, purplish and bluish overtones. Tahitian pearls get their bold color from the oyster’s black lips and come the French Polynesian Islands. I recently saw a strand of pistachio green matched pearls which takes years to collect a matching set therefore the price tag g... |

Filed under: FashionBack when I worked at a jewelry store, a panicked bride came running to me, sobbing. Her mother had given her a set of pearls to wear on her wedding day that had been handed down through generations of women in her family, all of whom wore these special pearls at their weddings. Since the necklace was many decades old, the bride decided to give the pearls a bath -- following the instructions on her jewelry cleaner, she proceeded to ruin her wedding necklace.Pearls are one of the most fragile gemstones out there. Real pearls are especially delicate, but even simulated one... |
Filed under: Fashion, Rings, Gifts and RegistriesPearls. The simple, classic jewelry must-have for every sophisticated woman... in the 1950's. That's not to say that pearls have gone out of style; it's just that we're not wearing them every day like our mothers might have done (or still do). But pearls are still fashionable and versatile -- and perfect for weddings. Pearls make a great gift from mother to daughter, groom to bride, bride to bridesmaids, or bride to herself, and it's not all about strands of white pearls anymore.Pearl strands are of course the tradition, but you can find so ... |

Museum Way Pearls carries a diverse range of pearls, including Akoya pearls, freshwater pearls, Tahitian pearls, and South Sea pearls, available in AA+, AAA. My favorite? The pink, of course!

I recently had a birthday (yay) and it turned out to be the birthday of pearls (double yay). I received some fabulously pretty pieces from my significant other and beautiful ring from my parents. I adore them all! The reason I bring up pearls, though, is because they make SUCH wonderful wedding jewelry. They are elegant, classy, classic, delicate, you name it. And, with all of the creative minds out there, they have been and can be used in more contemporary ways, too. Here is something similar to my current pearl obsession: But! Whenever I see pearls, I think of this scene from The Te... |
Hi friends!The fiance and I have decided to purchase the digital negatives from our wedding from Nicole and we should have them in our grubby little paws around Halloween. So don't you worry, the official recaps will be coming soon!Several of you have commented about my lack of blogging over the recent weeks since we returned from our honeymoon. To be honest, I don't really have a reason for NOT blogging. Ever since the wedding I just haven't had the desire to blog, look at our wedding photos (maybe because there are SO many of them!) or look at my google reader. Sad, I know. It's just that kn... |
