Pearls For Royal Girls and The Rest Of Us

I spent most of yesterday intently watching the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. Through all of the pageantry, I couldn't help but notice the sea of  perfectly tailored black dresses and coats.  It seemed that most of the outfits were punctuated with pearls. The Queen was rarely seen without her own. Interesting enough, Vogue tells us that "Gobstopper" pearls are trending this fall. So in honor of her Majesty, I present to you a fashion twist on the classic. These pearls are big, bold, and promise to make a stylish statement this season.

Joie DeGiovanni  Pearl and Leather Necklace

This modern style features Freshwater, Tahitian, and South Sea Pearls, diamonds, leather, sterling silver, and semi-precious stones. I'd call this luxe edgy.
