What is it about them that can make you feel so good, even if you are wearing blue jeans?
I have taken to wearing mine often lately. I work at a nursery and even wore them to work, even though I knew I would be on knees digging in the dirt.
I have had a cold this week and have felt really crummy. I didn't go to work today. I just wanted to make tea and crawl under the sick quilt. Instead, I put on some swing music, my dancing shoes, donned my apron, pearls already on, and made a very decadent chocolate dessert. Wearing pearls, apron and dancing shoes with blue jeans, took some of the dessert to my co-workers.
It is amazing to me how something so simple as my little string of pearls can make me feel better inside and out. 
Anyone else wear their pearls, just cuz?
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Pearls are my birthstone, so I have few accumulated from over the years.
My first pair was from my dad, and a beautiful necklace my mother-in-law gave me for my wedding day.
Alright, you've all inspired me, I'm putting on my pearls!  |

I really want some that are dyed a peacock to turquoise color. Right now at Michaels thay have a line that is vintage, pearly with feathers and antiqued metal.
They carry some very reasonably priced freshwater strands.

Pearls are so classy.
Gifts from my DH:I have some beautiful pearl earrings ... a ring, and pendant. Also, some black pearl earrings and pendant.
And also some freshwater pearls and some fakes from my kids. I love them all. The pearls, the husband and the kids (Not necessarily in that order.)
I'll wear them whenever. And that's a lot.
(Mostly with jeans and sweaters.)

I'd love to have some pearls but always thought they were out of my price range. Thanks for the tips on shopping ebay and looking for freshwater pearls. Found some there I love :)

I love pearls. I have few items from my sister & brother-in-law a gift for our wedding.
I tried to wear it often but it is quite fragile.

I love my pearls and since I'm usually in jeans I depend on them to feel well dressed.
I usually wear my pearl earrings even when I work in the workshop.
I wear my pearl necklace a lot too--though never in the workshop.
For years and years--before I had real ones, I wore faux pearls and they looked very nice.
As they got older I got even more compliments on them.
People assumed they were old family pearls. ha ha
Nothing wrong with faux pearls.
All pearls are nice...

Pearls are my favorite jewelry...love them even more than diamonds!
A painting I did a few years ago features a voluptuous woman wearing only pearls.
There's just something about pearls and how they make you feel when you wear them!

Big fan of pearls...
Thankfully husband likes pearls even more than me, so he indulged me a few years back. I wear them often.
I love the reference to Julia Child and her pearls in the kitchen (literally and figuratively!!)

I wear pearls all the time too! I wear my expensive set that my hubby bought me years ago for a Christmas gift for fancy occasions, and then I bought a set (necklace, bracelet, earrings) from QVC that was under $50 for everyday wear. It has lasted me 5 years and still looks amazing. I live in south Florida, always hot and humid, but I don't care. They just look elegant and pretty. I see so many other younger girls wearing them now too, I am really happy to see them. They look just gorgeous with jeans and pretty tees in my opinion :)

This makes me think of Julia Child cooking in her pearls. I love pearls. My hubby gave me a pearl necklace on our wedding day and I love to wear them.

I have always loved pearls. My FIL gave me and my MIL pearl earrings for Christmas back in 1974. They were my first pearls. In the last ten years I have worn pearls alot. They just feel right. Pearls go with everything. A finishing touch to casual dress,lovely with an apron, and always beautiful with a dress. I have a nice strand of FWP's but mostly wear fake ones. I have always wanted a pearl ring. Never got one but recently found a fake one with fake tiny diamonds surrounding it. I love it but only wear it when I am dressed to go out. My first love of pearls started when I saw the "Beavers" mom "June" wearing them on Leave it to Beaver. She was my idol.

oh you gals have made me miss my pearls! my mother gave me my granmother's single strand necklace to wear on my wedding day, I'll have to dig it out! my mom's so funny, she's really into jewelry and LOVES buying it off of the home shipping network. she's shown me some stuff that is not anything I would wear, so I told her pearls are safe, and away she goes! moms are fun ladies :) I'm glad i get to be one too.
yay! pearls and jeans here I come!

I have always worn a single strand of vintage graduated pearls with anything I have on. There is just no way to describe the cool silky feeling they have when they move just below my throat. I feel like a princess with them on. We are going to have our 30th anniversary this year so for my birthday Ivan bought me a 3 strander of graduated pearls. He hit the spot on that gift. My daughter in law will be giving us a grand daughter next month and we are giving her a set of pearls to let her know what a treasure she is giving us. They just seem so lady like.

I adore pearls! My sister and mother both love all kinds of jewelry but I was never interested, except for pearls. A few years ago my parents gave me a nice strand of real pearls for Christmas, and I was speechless I was so thrilled. I treasure them and love to wear them often!

Oh I agree! I wear them with jeans all the time! I have a pretty pink freshwater set -- very reasonable. I got one white set at a consignment shop. I think pearls make you feel great with everything! |
