April 2013- I am in LOVE with pearls. They seem to be popping up in every aspect of wedding fashion and decor and I couldn't be happier. Pearls are a traditional wedding gift dating back to ancient times. They are the world's oldest gems, and have been collected for more than 4,000 years.
Ancient cultures saw the pearl as a symbol of prestige and wealth. It became known as a symbol of purity which led to its association with weddings. It is still common for a pearl necklace to be passed down to a bride for her wedding day.
Not only are they symbolic, but pearls carry an unwavering elegance about them that other gems try to live up to. Pearls, even freshwater with their imperfect shapes and colors, instantly bring class and sophistication to any young woman.
Here are some of the Pearl pleasures we LOVE this month.
