#TBT with TV Styles- ‘The World’s Oldest Gem’

Posted on

Ladies if you're going to buy another piece of jewelry, be sure you have this one —pearls!

A simple string of pearls with coordinating knob earrings matches just about everything. I’ve seen pearls cross fashion and style lines from elegant to casual on many occasions. Whether it is 'dressed up' with a wedding dress or 'dressed down' with a sorority t-shirt and jeans; these little spherical gems are not a recent love for females. It is said that royalty and women of ancient civilizations were among the first females to have decorated their bodies with these durable sea treasures, dating back to 420 BC.

Although its discovery has not been attributed to a single person; fashion historians and jewelers claim that people searching along the seashore for food stumbled upon pearls. Since its discovery, it has travelled the fashion ages, still precious but rare, with natural pearls being among the rarest of gems. Today, cultured pearls are popular and more easily accessible than natural pearls, but may still carry a heavy price tag.
