When is too many pearls, too many to wear at one time?

Image
There’s really no easy answer to this one. For a start, it’s not a question of quantity. Most of us have a sense of colour coordination and if we have even one pearl on that doesn’t match our overall outfit colour scheme, then it’s one pearl too many. Another possibility is that sometimes we have a relatively small number of pearls on but they don’t match in terms of colour.  It’s in the eye of the beholder but of course, again, two pearls is one too many if their luminescence clashes one with the other. True, you can’t entirely ignore the quantity question. Here though, it can get very complicated. Let’s talk for a second about something different to illustrate the issue more clearly – diamonds.

I wear a lot of scarves, so can I still wear pearls?

Yes, of course! Firstly and at the risk of splitting hairs, there are many pearls that aren’t going to be obscured by your scarf.  Assuming we’re talking here of neck as opposed to headscarves, things such as earrings, bracelets and rings, will all still be perfectly visible. You will certainly need to coordinate colour schemes and so on but that should be business-as-usual in terms of your wardrobe management. If we’re speaking of necklaces, then things are a little different. I suppose some would argue that what’s the point of putting your best string of pearls on if you then intend to hide them under a scarf for most of the time you’ll be wearing them.

I want to buy my man a piece of pearl jewellery, what do I buy?

Image
A female friend of mine once said: “It’s easy to buy for a man – absolutely any toy will keep him happy for weeks”. Well, even many men would agree there’s a degree of truth in that. We all know about “boy’s toys” and “man caves” etc. (!) However, if you want to do something different and buy the man in your life a piece of eternal pearl jewellery, what are your options? Well, it’s a fact that a lot of thought is still required. Things are changing fast and many men ARE now wearing items including necklaces, bangles, and pendants again. So, many of the things you’ll find in the typical woman’s jewellery drawer are also going to be found now in some men’s For more details, please visit -  https://www.lustpearls.com.au/lust-talk/79-i-want-to-buy-my-man-a-piece-of-pearl-jewellery

My friend swims in her pearls - is this a good idea or not?

Image
My simple answer is – “No”. Let me explain. Your pearls are soft but with appropriate care they will last several lifetimes. Treat them inconsiderately and they could start to deteriorate rapidly. The first thing to state as clearly as possible is - NEVER swim with pearls on if it’s a chlorinated pool. The chlorine will be very destructive to the pearl’s surface and the results could be catastrophic. No exceptions. Water in itself, in theory, won’t hurt a pearl. After all, it was their natural environment! However, water can be very damaging to the stringing of pearls unless the string is specifically stated to be waterproof.  Another problem is that, typically, if you’re swimming in pearls then there’s a fair chance that you’re doing so in sunshine. Direct sunlight isn’t great for these wonders of nature, particularly when it’s over an extended period. Then there’s the fact that your pearls are likely to be bouncing around against each other as you mo...
