WORST DRESSED AT BET AWARDS 2014: Keke Palmer

LOS ANGELES (June 29, 2014)– We have no idea what the beautiful 20-year-old, Keke Palmer was thinking when she attended the 2014 BET Awards wearing  this white and gold Alon Livne mini dress, but it landed her on our worst dressed list for Pearls Only.

We always loved her sweetheart style, but this mini dress with bold hip cutouts does not fit the young lady’s usual classy and chic style which makes her seem a little desperate to be seen as a sex symbol.

In contrary to the fashion miss, her face and hair looks beautiful and very natural. read more

ASK MS. ELITOU: Are Pearls Good for Your Everyday Woman?

 “Hey Ms. Elitou! I have been looking at the Pearls Only jewelry and I wanted to know do you think that pearls are for the everyday woman? Can the average woman who has the hustle and bustle of work, constant outings, all while maintaining the responsibilities of raising children get a great amount of use from pearl jewelry? I am a mother of two and I find that I have little time to switch up my jewelry, I need them to go with everything and I need to be able to move fast.  I would love to invest in diamonds but I am too worried about the cost and the possibility of losing an earring due to my fast moving lifestyle. Do you think pearls would be a better fit for me? Thanks in advance!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -Catherine B. read more

Today’s feature that has us clutching our pearls is the “The Jean Paul Gaultier 1977 Les Plongeuses Fin-Heels”.

The heels where debuted when Jean Paul Gaultier recreated his 1977 hooded, one-piece bathing suit during his Spring/Summer 2007 show.

PEARL FASHION: A Look Back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign

We at Pearl’s Only decided to take a look back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign and we loved it just as much as we did before!

The line featured great fashion but what really caught our attention was their gorgeous attention to detail with their jewelry—their pearls in particular!

The line created by Dior’s accessories designer, Camille Miceli, really caught the delicate beauty of pearls and gave it a stunning modern twist.

We really found the pearl collar necklace to be dynamic while the double sided pearl studs brought a much appreciated upgrade to your everyday pearl earrings. read more
