Pearl Necklaces - a Princess Choice
Pearl necklaces, in various shapes, sizes and colors, are definitely a classic piece of jewelry. Among the most popular kind of pearl that is used for most necklaces are Freshwater pearls and South Sea pearls. Freshwater pearls are the reasonably priced kind of pearls. Other pearl colors include pink, blue, champagne, green, and purple. While there are a lot of other pearl colors to choose from, like white pearl necklaces are still the standard and most popular ones.
Depending on the size of the pearls worn, these necklaces can indicate one's stature and wealth. Smaller pearls are commonly worn by young and teenage women, and the bigger pearls are for women in their prime years. The bigger pearls are naturally more expensive, rare, and extraordinary.
The different styles of pearls are classified based on their length. These include the dog collar, which is very popular during the Victorian era. Pearl chokers, which measure about 14 to 16 inches long, are similar to dog collars, rest below the neck. The matinee length is mid-length, and looks good with traditional dresses. The other kind is the opera length, which falls below the chest area. The rope, which is the longest of all styles, can measure to up to 45 inches long, and is usually worn on evening bashes paired with ball gowns.
Last but not the least, the classic length of most pearl necklaces: the princess length. Worn just below the collarbone, this is the most common choice of women because it is highly flexible for any occasion and attire. It adds a spice to an elegant dress, and makes a simple outfit shine.
