My sisters together with my mom were talking yesterday about heirlooms. My mom was lamenting how I lost all the jewelry she had custom-made for me when I was a kid and the only ring left from my grandmother’s jewelry when I was a teenager. I came to realize that I don’t own a piece of real jewelry! And I won’t have any to pass on to my daughter if the time comes. Since I will be turning 30 next year, I think it would be a great time for me to invest on a set of jewelry, I just hope the job offers don’t slow down so I can afford to buy one.

Besides gold jewelry, I really want to invest on a pair of South Sea pearls. I saw a pearl necklace worn by a friend over a classic outfit (fit tee, nice pair of jeans, ballet flats) and it was awesome! I was doing my research and I never realized there were so many kinds of pearls! There are freshwater pearls, Japanese Akoya, Tahitian Black pearls and so many more. I really want the real deal and I was stunned to know they can get quite expensive. An aunt told me way back that one way to know if the pearls were authentic is to feel them at the palm of your hand, it should be cool to touch.

So I went to  the site PearlsOnly.com and was pleasantly surprised that they have a Pearl Wizard which recommends pearls for women based on age, build and style!
Here is what was recommended to me:

Pearl Size from:   7.50
Pearl size to:   9.00
Pearl Color   White
Pearl Jewelry Type   Necklace
Necklace Length:   Princess – 18 inches
Pearl Quality:   AAA
Pearl Type   Japanese Akoya

This is the most popular size for women and ladies. These pearls are the best value for both Freshwater and Akoya. Larger and substantial. These large pearls will be sure to impress! White Pearl Color is a perfect first necklace or addition to a wardrobe. An elegant and classic pearl necklace is simply the perfect gift for every occasion! A very upscale pearl that is nearing perfection yet without the price tag of AAAA. Japanese Akoya pearls are the classic white and luxury pearl. They are the true original and Fifth-avenue luxury gift.
