I'm a Jewelry Box newcomer, but I have a few questions about pearls.
My boss had a lovely strand of pearls that she got from San Francisco on a business trip. She's going again next week, and has generously agreed to find a set for me.
I love hers, but I'm really not sure if pearls will work with my everyday (work) attire. (I live in the South, and work in a business casual environment). Certainly pearls aren't just for sweater sets and brunch? Is there such thing as an 'edgy' pearl necklace? Can pearls be sexy? Casual? Are double-strands more formal than single, and therefore would be a bad choice?
I guess what I'm asking is....how can I know if I'm a 'pearl type' (if there is such a thing), and if so, what is the correct way to wear them? And when? I don't want to look foolish or like I'm trying too hard. They just seem very elegant to me.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. (and my apologies for the pearl-interrogation!)
