Spring Brides: Find Your Ideal Pearl Style!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

bridal-pearlsSpring brides: are you ready for your wedding day? Every detail matters, and Mastoloni knows that every bride has her own special pearl style. Find your bridal pearl style to easily compliment you and your wedding gown. This pearl style will help you look even more radiant and lovelier than ever on your wedding day!

What neckline does your wedding dress have? This is a top question to consider when finding your pearl style. Today’s brides and pearl lovers have many different pearl jewelry styles to choose from. A square neckline would be complimented well either by a choker or a princess length pearl necklace. A ballet neckline could be complimented nicely with a rope pearl necklace for a stunning look. The pearls should be balanced both with the lines of your dress as well as the style of your wedding gown.

What style is your wedding gown? This is another important question to think about to choose a bride’s ideal pearl style. The bride marrying in a vintage wedding dress may wish to choose pearls that reflect that period in history. A bride with a “flapper” style wedding dress may choose a long, rope pearl necklace popular in that day and age.

What pearl styles do you adore? Now this is probably one of the most thoughtful questions a bride should reflect on to find her ideal bridal pearl style. Your pearls should “speak” about your personal style and what you enjoy the most. If a choker and a romantic pearl bracelet tied with a ribbon sounds like the most divine pearl jewelry to you - do your best to see if this style would compliment your wedding dress. Remember that all eyes are on the bride and will watch to see what personal touches you add today on your wedding day.

What pearls do you love? A bride who loves pearls knows that pearls are not “only” the white and ivory pearls we often see in pearl jewelry - there are pearls ranging in a rainbow of colors. While your dress may be white - your wedding jewelry can be vibrant, colorful or filled with soft pastel colors that speak of your feminine beauty. Use the pearls in every size and shape to express your personality. Ask your jeweler for suggestions in finding the best pearls for your style and taste if you have questions.

Don’t be limited by “only” the dainty pearl jewelry seen on brides. This is your special day. A black tie wedding could be the ideal affair to wear your deep and bold Tahitian pearl choker necklace with your wedding dress. Try several ropes of colorful seed pearls for a unique look for your natural beach themed wedding.

Congratulations on your wonderful Spring wedding. We know you will look radiant on your wedding day wearing your favorite pearls!

Perfect Pearl Gifts For Spring

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

springtime-jewelrySpring is just a few weeks away and now is the perfect time to think about pearl gifts for the season. What could be more lovely that pearls in Springtime? The season when all of the flowers are in bloom and every stunning woman is wearing her favorite pearl jewelry.

Try some of these popular pearl jewelry favorites for ideal Spring jewelry choices:

Pearl earrings are a great choice as a pearl jewelry gift for any woman you’d like to give a Springtime gift to. Whether for that special birthday or “just because,” a pair of pearl earrings are suited to either daytime or evening wear. Look for pearl “button” style earrings that have singular pearls. These come in every size, shape and color one can imagine. From the classic white or ivory cultured pearl to the bright and colorful Tahitian pearls or the stunning Akoya pearls!

A rope pearl necklace is another terrific choice for Springtime jewelry. The rope pearl necklace is suited for many lovely Springtime fashions that draw attention to the face and neckline. The sundress is a popular choice with many women starting to wear this in Springtime. A rope necklace can be gently tied or double strung to create a custom choker style look you’ll love.

The pearl bracelet is a very feminine look that is special and perfect for Spring looks. Spring fashions are lighter fabrics, lighter colors and involve less clothing. The arms are often covered with shorter sleeves or even sleeveless fashions. A pearl bracelet gently draws the attention to your wrist, arms and hands - in a feminine way. Choose the pearl bracelet for the unique woman in your life.

A princess length pearl necklace is another excellent choice. This is one of the most classic pearl necklace lengths and is very popular in the Springtime or during other seasons as it is very versatile. Wear your princess length pearl necklace while playing a game of tennis or while at the club eating lunch with friends. Or while out on the town with your husband or that special someone! The princess pearl necklace easily compliments so many looks.

To best show off your pearl jewelry for Spring fashions remember to exfoliate your skin and consider using a touch of self-bronzing powder or self-tanning lotion. A bit of a tan in the beginning of Spring will bring a lovely glow to your skin and compliment the lustre of the pearl jewelry even more than before. Well exfoliated skin shows your skin at its very best - and whenever you wear Spring fashions, more of your skin is exposed most of the time.

Our top fashion tip: This Spring season try a different type of pearl jewelry in your wardrobe. If you always wear pearl earrings, add a pearl bracelet to your Spring wardrobe. If you love your pearl necklace, try including some pearl earrings to match. We know you’ll find some new lovely pearl looks you’ll fall in love with this Spring!

Always put your pearls away, don’t leave them out for best care.

Care for Your Pearls & Enjoy Them For a Long Time

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Many people don’t realize that pearls need special care. When you choose fine pearl jewelry, it is important to take good care of them so you can enjoy them even longer. While pearls may be a bit delicate, many women today proudly wear pearl necklaces handed down from their grandmothers and greatgrandmothers. You too can have a pearl necklace enjoyed by many generations - when you follow certain practical guidelines to ensure they are taken good care of.

An easy rule for women to remember is that your pearls should be the very first thing you put on after you dress - and the very first thing you take off at the end of the day. The reason is simple: pearls and cultured pearls do not mix well with cosmetics, perfumes or women’s hair care products. Exposing your pearls to any of these items will endanger your pearls and have the fine particles of cosmetics, perfume or hair care products wind up on your pearls. Over time this can cause damage to your pearls. While you might not think about this type of thing - and it is certainly easy to forget - practicing this easy step is a very simple way to take good care of your pearls. By doing this one thing regularly you’ll take very great care of your pearls and be treating them gently.

Another tip many women forget is to store their pearls in a soft cloth or separately, away from their other jewelry. You don’t want your pearls to be exposed to your other jewelry, as this runs the risk of your pearls getting scratched or damaged in another way as they rub or brush against your other jewelry. Create a special place to keep your pearls and this tip will help you take good care of your pearls. It is important that the place you keep your pearls is easy for you to access and get to during your daily life, so you don’t forget to put them away in this place at the end of the day. Keeping them regularly in a separate place or even just in a soft cloth in your jewelry box makes a great difference.

Many women who have been life-long pearl owners know to have their favorite pearls restrung and knotted every so often to ensure they stay strong and protected. This is an easy process that your local jeweler can do for you rather quickly. Having this done once a year will offer you great peace of mind, knowing that your pearls are safe and secure.

Take good care of your pearls. Remember, it only takes a little extra time. Just imagine the look of joy on your granddaughter’s face on her wedding day as you hand her your favorite strand of pearls for her to wear!

The Tahitian pearl is often black, silvery grey, dark grey or a deep green in color.

Tahitian pearls are considered rare and to own these pearls is a great prize for many pearl lovers all over the world. The gift of Tahitian pearls is an ideal choice for the holidays, a birthday gift or that special “just because” gift for a loved one.
