The Pearl Necklace - a must have jewellery accessory

If you thought pearls were old fashioned and something your granny wore, well think again. Pearl necklaces are certainly right up their among your top timeless fashion accessories and are no longer only to be worn by the rich and famous like Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, Michelle Obama and Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few.

So how do you wear the pearl necklace? It is all a matter of style, occasion and the look you want to achieve.

Pearls are an ideal accessory for the black shift dress – always a classy elegant look. Michelle Obama famously wears the classic short double strands pearl necklace in this official portrait of the first lady photo released by the white house Feb 27, 2009.


While pearls have been traditionally white, cultured freshwater pearls are available in various colours and shapes which gives the option of wearing pearls grouped in alternating colours like this medium length multi strand coloured pearl necklace worn here by “Carrie Bradshaw” Sarah Jessica Parker to achieve a more casual look.


Keeping it simple, elegant yet casual is Actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY at the world premiere of her movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. A jean clad Knightly is wearing a single strand of mixed white South Sea and black Tahitian pearl necklace made of baroque pearls. An opposing combination - jeans and pearls - but it certainly works.

Katherine Heigl of Grey's Anotomy fame is the picture of glamour in this multicoloured choker pearl necklace.

Like any other fashion accessory, pearls can be dressed up or dressed down. Layer your pearls with other necklaces like Ann Hathaway in the Devil wears Prada for an eclectic haute couture look.

The looks are endless but the appeal is universal and owning your very own pearl necklace is not as expensive as you think. The availability of cultured fresh water pearls have made pearls very affordable. Of course salt water pearls are more expensive but there are many creative and uniquely designed cultured fresh water pearl necklaces to choose from.
