Pick of the Week: Teal-colored Pearl Studs

Teal, the color of feminine sophistication, is one of the most important colors of the season. We decided to glam up a pair of pearl studs and offer their teal-colored version as an alternative to white or black pearl earrings. You can style them in many ways, with simple tees or more classy dresses. Teal matches well with black, gray, purple, peach, brown, beige, and mustard colors.

Here is our proposition, incorporating a black mini skirt and a highly fashionable thick sweater with a wolf motif:

Craving for Metallic Pearl Pendants

The newest trend in freshwater pearl jewelry for 2012 is all about metallic pearls. These pearls have strong color-shifting (iridescent) properties, so they look different depending on the light they are exposed to. A single pearl may exhibit a delicate peach tint in the daylight, sunset-borne hues in brightly-lit offices, and intensely golden shades in dimmed lights of a romantic dinner for two.

Metallic Pearl Pendants from Love-My-Pearls.com Giveaway

Metallic pearls have an exceptional natural luster that makes mirrors look like dull sheets of steel! Their colors are unusual too. Intense but all natural, they range from silver cream to copper peach, gold lavender, or deep coppery amethyst-like hues.

These beautiful pearls don’t go unnoticed and are difficult to find. Only one in thousands of pearls from the top of the crop will be lustrous and intensely-colored enough to be named metallic. It has been more than a year now that we have been searching and cherry-picking each individual pearl to build a collection of pendants, earrings, and necklaces for you. Love My Pearls’ exclusive line of metallic freshwater pearl jewels is currently under development, but we couldn’t wait any longer to share some of these beauties with you!

We picked three gorgeous pendants from our growing selection of metallic pearls: copper lavender, silver cream, and golden peach colored to suit all tastes and styles. They are all drop-shaped and 10mm wide at their shortest, and are classified as gem-quality AAA+ natural color pearls. We adorned them with the simplest sterling silver pendant settings to emphasize rather than overpower their beauty. Just to give you an idea of their size, here I am wearing all three beauties together :-)

One of these bold metallic pearls can be yours!

One of these three stunning pendants can be yours, free of charge. Make a purchase at Love My Pearls until November 30 and get a chance to win one of these metallic pearl pendants worth US$ 150 each, with an accompanying 18 inch (46cm) Italian-made silver chain worth US$ 25.

Hong Kong Jewelry Fair Treasures

The September Jewelry Fair in Hong Kong concluded on Sunday, September 25. I spent two beautiful days cruising between rows upon rows of jewelry exhibitors. Everybody was there. Antique jewelry sellers charmed us with early 20^th century pieces from Cartier and natural pearl strands; precious stone wholesalers exhibited their largest, most beautiful deep green emeralds and sky-blue sapphires; and talented jewelry designers from all over the world displayed their newest over-the-top collections.
