Posted by

British actress, Helena Bonham Carter, looked too cool for the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards at Theatre Royal on May 18, 2014 in London, England.

The 47-year-old blocked out all the lights from paparazzi while wearing a pair of dense bedazzled shades during the evening event with her long black strapless evening dress.

We really loved the Cultured Pearls she added to her look along with her stylish bouffant making for a mix of retro glamour and new school sparkle.

Queen Elizabeth held a dashing garden party at the Buckingham Palace for The Duke of Edinburgh’s 93rd birthday and as usual it was a great success with loads of honorable attendees, royal ceremonies and well-fashioned clothing and accessories.

Pearls seemed to be in great attendance at this elegant event being worn by many attendees including the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge.

The layers of pearls skillfully decorated the Queen’s neck as she wore a beautiful powder blue Angela Kelly coat dress; fashionable matching hat and trademarked Launer handbag. She looks great and from the looks of it she still has it.

CELEBRITIES IN PEARLS: Sophia Bush Looks Great in Miriam Haskell Pearl Necklace

Posted by

American Actress, Sophia Bush stunned while attending the luncheon in honor of designer Rachel Pally at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood in 2009.

She did so, wearing a simply stylish, Rachel Pally top and skater skirt, accompanied with a beautifully bold gold and pearl Miriam Haskell statement necklace.

The necklace really took the dove grey top and black mini from everyday girl to chic Fashionista. We also think the look really stood out with her naughty girl Dior Gladiator heels.

Such a fun combination! read more

ASK MS. ELITOU:  Can I polish my pearls with toothpaste?

Posted by

Hello Ms. Elitou! I was given my Grandmother’s pearls as an anniversary gift and I want to make them look as new as I can. I want to polish them with toothpaste like my other jewelry but I am not sure if they would be safe if I did that. What are your thoughts?

-Aliza W.

Hi Aliza! Thank you for reaching out! I am very happy that you asked this question because I believe many have the same thought when it comes to cleaning pearls.

The answer is NO! It is very important to not use toothpaste on pearls, turquoise, vintage Bakelite, or vintage rhinestones, because they have softer surfaces and may get scratched. read more
