Celebrities with Pearl Jewelry
Today, there are many actresses and other famous people that are wearing sparkling pearls. They are definitely making a comeback. Elizabeth Taylor once misplaced the famous La Peregrina pearl in her white carpet! Well, at least that is what she thought. Until she found it in her dogs mouth! I guess the dog loved pearls too!
This would be a good reason to perhaps think about imitation pearls along with real pearls. Now it is not just the size of the pearl that makes a statement, it is the combination of the pearls themselves and the celebs that wear them. Of course we all remember the Princess Diana and famous Jackie O that both sported pearls with elegance. Then of course there were the stars of history like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
One of the earliest known pearl collections lay with Mary Queen of Scots. She had a six strand necklace that was strung as a rosary and had more than 600 pearls. The actress Elizabeth Taylor owned the La Peregrina which was large, white and pear shaped. Of course many of the famous stars of today wear pearls including Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox. When it comes down to it, just think about your favorite star and how they wear their pearls.
Just remember looking like a star doesn't always mean you have to spend like a star. In fact it is not that hard to make your own knockoffs at a fraction of the cost. Just think about the specific occasion you want the pearls for and then go to town. You can choose to make something classic, innocent, glamorous, modern, sixties inspired or pink.
Knock-Off Jewelry
This is jewelry that is made to look like the designer originals. However, it is sold in the marketplace for much less. It is not fake jewelry, but sold like it is original. It can also refer to jewelry that looks like it has precious stones, but they are in fact replicas.
Cubic Zirconia pieces are a great example of knock off jewelery.You can find it in necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, brooches and more.
People like knock offs because the real pieces are too expensive. They are usually made after award shows where celebs wear them. They may be inspired by designers. It can be made from metal, including gold and silver. However, it is usually imitation stones and pearls, especially the large sized south sea shell pearls just like this one. If you want a real south sea pearl necklace just like this, you could be paying for at least $30,000 and up.
