Pearls in the 21^st Century

Wendy Mignot brought the way to wear pearls to the 21^st century. Her designs put a new twist on this ageless style with great Bohemian-inspired pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, pearl bracelets. Her pieces look modern and contemporary. They are ageless and give pearls a fresh vibe. Read on to see why and how.

Why Are Pearls Called the Gems of the Sea?

Since ancient times, pearls fascinated humankind with their iridescent luster. They are so to speak ageless, a timeless classic, and as such a Must-Have for every stylish women. Pearls are called the gems of the sea because oysters create pearls on an irritant like a sand grain. White, yellow, pink or cream depending on the oyster, but at the same time showing all colors of the rainbow when the multiple thin layers of mother-of-pearl break the light at the right angles.

Pearls are a timeless wardrobe investment!

How to Wear Pearls Changed over Time

While in former times pearls were sewn to the clothes of Kings and Queens, used for crowns – think of the famous Lovers-Knot diadem Princess Diana wore. In the last century, they became part of female professional attire as a pearl necklace. However, the modern way to wear pearls differs strongly from that in the 1950s and 1960s as well as the 1980s.

Wendy Mignot Pairs Pearls with Unexpected Material

Her designs pair pearls with unexpected material like, for instance, leather in her Collections. Doing so gives the pieces an edge. Her leather-pearl bracelets, for instance, go well with a Rock’n Roll style, casual jeans-and-Tee as well as Bohemian style. The leather-pearl pairing also puts pearls back on the men’s jewelry stage. You can find a review of a Wendy Mignot leather-and-pearl necklaces at this link.

Wendy Mignot’s Collections – Their Vibes Match Many Personal Styles

Wendy Mignot has several collections. There is something for any style. The Seaside Collection, for instance, encompasses classic pieces in a seaside casual way. These pieces well compliment a California Casual style as well as a Bohemian Style.

Her Bora Bora Collection has an urban vibe addressing the power woman, the female professional leader. What better name could she have chosen for this collection than the name of this strong regional wind system?

The South Sea Collection makes you dreaming of foreign tropical beaches. Her other ageless style collections are the Fusion Collection, Society Collection, JNM Collection and the One Eye Love.

What I Picked from Her Collections for This Wendy Mignot Fine Pearls Review

All her collections have awesome Must-Have statement pieces. Therefore, picking just one item was very hard. Because I already reviewed a Wendy Mignot’s necklace, I chose these stunning big pearl studs for their unusual form, great iridescent luster and cold white color.

Why Are These Studs Great for Women over 40?

These studs have an extra large closure piece that holds the stud tight. This feature avoids the stud to turn south in response to gravity. When you are 40+, you know this “hanging look”. The studs stand out as they should. That’s makes for ageless style.

The ruler’s reading is in inch on the top and centimeter on the bottom for easy reading of the size of the pearl studs. Since the pearl is flat and not a sphere it looks very elegant on the ears.
