I already have pearls that have sentimental value (they were my grandmother's) so I don't really want to replace them.

I already own the Hope Diamond, so I guess pearls.

Pearls are for old ladies and Tea Leoni.

Pearls are classy. Especially the slightly pink or green ones. Tahitian pearls especially rock.

I didn't say they weren't classy, I just think young people have a hard time wearing them without making themselves look like old ladies.

i don't like pearls, or the way they look, i think they are too chunky. diamonds that are cut well, are, in my opinion, a lot more tasteful

What about dice games with barons and earls?
And do you hate California because it's cold and it's damp???

No, but I won't go to harlem, in lincolns or fords
And I will not dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why this lady is certainly not a %^&##

pearls need not be "old lady"

below are two custom necklaces for the same person, designed to be worn both together and apart. She is a VERY fashion forward customer of mine, reasonably well off, always perfectly accesorized.

Pearls are far more reasonably priced.

Well if you're talking about those necklaces, I completely agree with you. A bunch of pearls on a string doesn't seem terribly attractive to me either. But pearl studs can be gorgeous if you get a shade that matches your skin tone and they have certain chokers with designs that are really nice.

ETA: Young people don't look old in anything. It's the forty plus crowd that can't get away with it.

I agree with Bri, pearl studs are very classy and can be dressed up or dressed down, worn every day or to a wedding. Diamonds you can only get away with at a fancy event (besides diamond ring).

I keep seeing HS girls in big pearl stud earrings and I think they look silly.

Diamonds can be dressed up or down though too.

I have both, but I'd choose diamonds only because I have enough pearl items.
