Sparkle Like The Stars

Katie Holmes was looking fabulous and way preggers in Australia recently. She was headed off to someone’s memorial service and that’s the reason for the black dress. I know that it’s late summer in Australia and HOT, but I think that a dress that covered a little more up top would have been more appropriate for a memorial service. But maybe she’s trying to cover herself with those huge pearls that she’s donning. I mean, I thought that pregnant women weren’t suppose to do strenuous exercise - and it looks like a workout to keep her head up under the strain of those big mama pearls! The pearls are enormous, but they look great. They are a perfect conservative choice for the occasion.

If you want to get the same look as Katie, you should try this single strand of graduated South Sea cultured pearls. Graduated means the pearls start out smaller near the clasp and increase in size toward the center. No pearl in this strand is small. The pearls start out at a generous 8mm and increase in size to an amazing 12mm! Even the clasp is dazzling. It’s a pearl shaped clasp in white gold studded with pave set diamonds. This strand of pearls is an heirloom piece that you can pass down in your family for generations.

This incredible necklace needs amazing earrings to complement it. There’s no need to take away from the natural beauty of the pearls. These 8-8.5mm Akoya cultured pearl earrings are a perfect match. The pearl is large enough to work with the size of pearls in the necklace, but not too big to look gaudy.
