PEARL FASHION: Going Pearl Crazy (Car Edition)

Posted by

We love pearls but we wonder can one have too many pearls? Can pearls go too far?

We came across this amazing image of extreme pearl love!

Take a look at this image of someone’s love for pearls transferring from their ears and neck to—of all things—their car!

This car has everything including pearls strands that are oversized and micro, along with lots of rhinestones, sea shells and other beautiful and colorful details.

This is a very artistic expression and we admire the creativity.

What do you think of this artistic expression? Do you love it or hate it? read more

WORST DRESSED AT BET AWARDS 2014: Keke Palmer

Posted by

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?

Posted by

 “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

ASK MS. ELITOU:  Can I polish my pearls with toothpaste?

Posted by

Hello Ms. Elitou! I was given my Grandmother’s pearls as an anniversary gift and I want to make them look as new as I can. I want to polish them with toothpaste like my other jewelry but I am not sure if they would be safe if I did that. What are your thoughts?

Hi Aliza! Thank you for reaching out! I am very happy that you asked this question because I believe many have the same thought when it comes to cleaning pearls.

The answer is NO! It is very important to not use toothpaste on pearls, turquoise, vintage Bakelite, or vintage rhinestones, because they have softer surfaces and may get scratched. read more
