Rockin the Pearls

What’s not to love about fashion shoots? We get to work with gorgeous gowns and accessorize with super-fun jewelry. For the winter issue’s Maine shoot (on stands now), we pulled from a handful of our favorite jewelry designers including pearlparadise.com. And while I’m not necessarily a “strand of pearls” type of gal, I did discover that piling on a bunch of them proved be a fun, messy alternative — which is why when I heard about their new metallic Freshadama freshwater pearls, I couldn’t wait to check them out. Each pearl varies in size from 6.5 to 9.5 mm and comes in colors ranging from gold to copper.

Find one that catches your eye? Check out their website. Rumor has it they’re offering a pre-holiday promo with strands priced between $190 and $1,200 (depending on size).

See? Who says diamonds have to be a girl’s best friend?
