An important fashion moment happened
on June 8th when the Style section of the
New York Times wrote approvingly of
Michelle Obama's sleeveless shift dresses
and giant pearls, titling their piece, "She
Dresses to Win." Pearls have always
denoted a classy broad. Think Audrey
Hepburn and Jackie O. But the big
jaw-breaker size favored by powerful
modern women such as Michelle Obama,
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and
Cindy McCain, are now being called Power
Pearls. Women who wear these mean
business.
But can these over-sized pearls be real?
Would Michelle Obama wear fakes?! No,
Michelle is not wearing plastic pearls. Nor
did she shell out the upwards of $10,000
that this size South Sea strand would have
cost. The answer is: She's wearing "shell
pearls."
A shell pearl is a manufactured pearl that
is made from natural materials. In fact, it's
made from the same material from which
cultured pearls are made. The
mother-of-pearl interior of the oyster is
scraped from the shell and then
mechanically shaped into round beads.
The result is a pearl that can be sized and
colored to order. But it possesses the
same natural-pearl luster and beauty as
oyster-made pearls. Plus, it's affordable.
Strands of shell pearls typically sell for
hundreds of dollars, rather than
thousands. But I'm now able to sell shell
pearl strands, direct from Asia, at
wholesale prices -- starting at only $55.
