I just turned 30 ( ) this weekend and my BF wanted to give me a special jewelry. But because I told him not to get me anything if I haven't seen myself (I'm really picky when it comes to jewelry), we went shopping for it together. We only had like half an hour before the shops closed, so I didn't expect us to find anything that day. I was actually looking out for some pearl earrings, but then we saw this necklace in the shop window... We went in and I tried it on and it was PERFECT!! I was a bit hesitant about it, because I was afraid it would look 'old', but luckily it didn't as much... I have to wait to get it though, because they have to get it knodded (is that the right word for it?) and the gold closure I picked out on it. So I'm anxiously waiting for it... I'm so happy I'm getting this from my sweet BF because I know this is a simple, but timeless and elegant piece and getting it from him gives it special value ![]() What do you girls think, is it a bit 'old' to wear for a young (lol) 30year old?!? (be honest )

I love pearls and lately I have been wanting a pearl necklace. I think they are so classy and can really add to an elegant or casual outfit. I think it works for all ages.

Thanks, yes, that's what I think. I love it especially with some casual jeans and a nice blouse! But I guess it can also go with classier outfits..

My friend wore a single tear drop pearl when she was 5-20yrs old. The pearl wore out and the seed started to show. If that didnt happen then she would still be wearing it!
As for a string i never tried one on before but i've always admired them on TV. Congrads! post pics! |

i thought it was so funny when i read you were getting a pearl necklace for your 30th bday. because for my 21st my bf got me a tahitian pearl bracelet as a suprise and he said he'll work on getting the matching necklace for my 30th lol.
i think it's a great purchase, it won't make you look old, just add on to beauty :) happy bday! |

^Thank you!
![]() Don't we have the sweetest BF's? Are you close to 30 yet? Or did you just turn 21? I think 30 is the best age to get this, it's like this age everyone struggles with, incl.me, like: ARrgghhh I'm getting OLD ! LOL!So this makes it easier, turning old gracefully... ![]()

You can never be too old or too young to wear pearls.

Would you believe I received a pair of diamond studs from my dh and I asked to exchange it for a pearl necklace and earrings set? I was around or close to 30 at the time. I chose a 16" white pearl set, about 6.5mm can't recall and I wore it to work every day till the threading broke. I had it restrung with a nicer clasp.
Pearls instantly brighten up your face! |

^I actually don't even know the exact details of these pearls. Maybe I should ask when we pick them up. Buy, it sure takes long! It's friday already, nearly a week so we're expecting that call anytime! *tap tap*

I love my pearls! I am 35 but my husband bought them for me when I was in my 20's. I love wearing them with unexpected things like tee shirt and jeans. Actually yesterday I wore them with jeans, a pink tank top, and black cardigan- super cute.
