How to Buy Pearls

Chic, classic, and cool. Pearls are best known for their precise beauty: perfectly matched spheres, poised on a silk string. But, pearls are actually incredibly diverse. They can be natural or cultured, freshwater or saltwater, nacreous or non-nacreous, and range from white to black in color, round to baroque in shape, and fitted to flowing in length.

Pearls were once made famous by Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, and Coco Chanel. At the White House, Tiffany’s window, and everywhere else, pearls were more than iconic; they were essential. And, they remain so today. In any variation, they make a sophisticated and stylish statement. As Jackie Kennedy herself confirmed, “Pearls are always appropriate.”
