so this blog is evolving from a knitting blog into a - craft/shopping blog. And even there I'm failing to up-date as often as I'd like. But heck, I don't think I'm disappointing my vast readership, so all must be well. After all, you can't lose reader you don't actually have....Anyway, today I got the idea in my head that I need to purchase a pearl necklace. The only problem is that I don't know anything about pearls other than the cultured black pearls are way more expensive, and way out of my price range.
This may sound strange, and don't take it as anything more than the tired ramblings of a law student who works too many hours, but my first thought was pearls would be a great gift to a bridesmaid. No, I'm not getting married (at least that I know of) but I just love the idea of pearls as a gift. They are jewelry that last so long, and can be passed down to your children. In fact, I think they are almost the ideal thing to pass onto a daughter. According to a friend of mine, pearls retain the scent of a person who wears them regularly. I'm not sure if I believe that, but it just sounds so sweet.
Do people our age still wear pearls? If you were to receive them as a gift would you wear them?

I wear my pearls. Not on a regular basis, but I do wear them. I got a pearl every year from my baptismal sponser, and then when I was confirmed, they had them strung together.
I think pearls are a wonderful gift!
I love that idea. A pearl a year and then when you are old enough you have a necklace. That makes it so special.
Thanks for the idea.
