I also got pearl studs for my 16th birthday, and a strand of Japanese pearls for my 21st (both from my parents). Have you ever seen colored pearls/do you have any? I believe they're freshwater pearls and they're lovely and so different. I have a bracelet of purple, oblong freshwater pearls and a necklace of brown pearls.Kate Harveyhttp://something-ivory.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085492922417631594.post-86569663713491691202013-07-17T10:25:34.991-04:002013-07-17T10:25:34.991-04:00What beautiful pieces, and all the more special be...What beautiful pieces, and all the more special because of the history behind them!<br /><br />I have pearl stud earrings from my grandmother (a 16th birthday gift) and a strand of her pearls to match (a college graduation gift), and I treasure them both. They were given to me before I ever had the last name "Pearl"--and ever since I got married, I try to wear mostly pearl jewelry. So I'm thrilled to own them, for many reasons.laurapearlnoreply@blogger.com
