Carry your Pearls well - some tips

A strand of pearls is an elegant piece of jewellery that can pair perfectly with your most elegant gown or your simplest casual wear. Knowing how to wear pearls is the key, and the main principle is keeping the look simple. Think CoCo Chanel, who was never seen without a strand, or Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City".

1. Formal Occasions - when going for a black-tie affair fashion, don't overdress yourself in other jewellery. Just wear a nice pearl string with your little black dress, which is a classy elegant look.  A great pairing with formal wear always includes a pearl necklace, simple pearl earrings and a pearl ring. Double-strand choker necklace would look a bit too traditional.

2. Casual - Pearls are also perfect for jeans, casual tops, wrap dresses or even simple T-shirts (not the sporty types though). Select a long pearl necklace and layer up your neck to create a fashionable look, or just mix the beaded necklace with other chain necklace in different lengths and styles for an ultra chic look, just be sure you don't go too heavy on the bling or you may be mistaken for a rapper.

3. For Wedding - Pearl jewellery should always be color coordinated with the pearls on the gown for wedding rather than with the gown itself. The pearls on the gown should be the same color as those on the veil.

Pearls go well with a number of different colors - violet, sunshine yellow or canary really adds beauty to a nice string of pearls;  while pastels and fluorescent colors are not recommended because pearls will get lost in them. Be sure to wear the right outfit with them, so they don't look out of place.
