Need more evidence that pearls have hit a high point on the
popularity scale?
Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House (and arguably one of the most powerful women in the country), has attracted national attention by sporting pearl necklaces, according to the San Jose Mercury News. A story in the paper said, "John Loring, Tiffany & Co. design director, says that wearing pearls has been a symbol of powerful women for more than 2,000 years."
Bonnie Bing’s cover story on pearls in last week’s WichiTalk ("Not your mother’s pearls") mentioned several local stores where you can find your own strand for between $24 and $625.
Do you wear pearls? Do they make you feel more powerful? Or does another accessory do the trick?
