Power Pearls Center Stage as Europe Reaches a Greek Deal
 

Pearls are center stage again as IMF's Ms. Lagarde talks to Greek premier Papademos about the $171.9 billion bailout deal. For all those who are interested, it looks like Ms. Lagarde is wearing a triple strand of 16, 18 and 19 inch pearls. The pearls look to be freshwater pearls or akoya pearls of white bodycolor. When we say that tripling up pearls for a triple-strand pearl necklace is a more serious powerful look, I think this sums that up.

Pearls throughout history
 

That is so true. When you see women wearing pearls today, one cannot help but remember that many of these pearl necklace styles have been passed down from previous generations proving that pearls are truly timeless as they have withstood fashion trends.
