Girls, get your pearls on!

Girls, get your pearls on! T’is the season for dressing up for all of the lovely summer events which are happening over the next few months. With Chelsea flower show about to start this week, what better accessory for girls in the know than  pearl jewellery?  Yes, timeless, classic, understated  and yet gorgeous, pearls are still an up to the minute, hot look which will take you anywhere. Perfect for a summer party, effortlessly high fashion and works well with all age groups. Easy.

But, when it comes to pearls, do you really know your onions? Do you know the difference between a natural and a cultured pearl? It’s fascinating to read about how pearls are made and how, while once they were a natural rarity , they are farmed today much like any other crop to produce high quality, reliable harvests of stunning pearls in all shapes, sizes and colours. Yes, we can all have them nowadays, there’s no excuse not to be a pearl girl.

Today, I have added a new page to my website’s home page called “Jewellery Info”. I want to share with you the knowledge I have gleaned over the last 6 years on jewellery and it’s related topics. I ‘ve started by writing a piece on pearls, their history, production and care of pearl jewellery for you to read at your leisure. Take a look when you’re next on my website (www.dawnwoodward.com)  you’ll find the link on my homepage. I’ll be adding to this over the next few weeks with more topics eg  a fascinating look at Venetian Glass, all about it’s history, how and where it’s made, gemstones and their traditional properties, birthday and anniversary stones and much more. enjoy………
