ASK MS. ELITOU: Are Pearls Good for Your Everyday Woman?

 “Hey Ms. Elitou! I have been looking at the Pearls Only jewelry and I wanted to know do you think that pearls are for the everyday woman? Can the average woman who has the hustle and bustle of work, constant outings, all while maintaining the responsibilities of raising children get a great amount of use from pearl jewelry? I am a mother of two and I find that I have little time to switch up my jewelry, I need them to go with everything and I need to be able to move fast.  I would love to invest in diamonds but I am too worried about the cost and the possibility of losing an earring due to my fast moving lifestyle. Do you think pearls would be a better fit for me? Thanks in advance!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                -Catherine B. read more

PEARL FASHION: A Look Back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign

We at Pearl’s Only decided to take a look back at Dior’s Fall 2013 “Secret Garden” Campaign and we loved it just as much as we did before!

The line featured great fashion but what really caught our attention was their gorgeous attention to detail with their jewelry—their pearls in particular!
