Pearls, not diamonds, are a girl's best friend.

If you invest in one piece of jewellery this season, buy some pearls. 

I cannot live without a string of pearls. I love the way Michelle Obama wears them.” Sarah Jessica Parker

Pearls are timeless, charming, sensual gems that reflect natural beauty and look fabulous in the form of necklaces and earrings. A pearl necklace or pair of pearl earrings will add a touch of class and sophistication to any outfit.

Since real pearls can be costly, it's perfectly acceptable to invest in faux pearls - if it's good enough for Sarah Jessica, it's good enough for us!
