100 Pretty Pearl Innovations

From Pearl Noose Photography to Hollow Pearl Necklaces

— December 27, 2011 — Fashion
The old adage "diamonds are a girl's best friend" may be widely accepted, but as demonstrated in this gallery of stunning pearl innovations, gorgeous white pearls are a close second.

Whether pearls are being used to cover Lady Gaga (and her piano) from head to toe, or are adding a touch of class and retro glamor to a sophisticated outfit, they are one piece of jewelry that never goes out of style.

Fashion editorials have used no shortage of pearl-encrusted pieces in their shoots for decades, and the classic bead shows no signs of going anywhere anytime soon.

From Jackie O to Marilyn Monroe and even contemporary artists today, pearls are a staple in every woman's wardrobe. Check out this gallery of pearl innovations and get inspired to show off your retro-glam style this season.
