Pearlcore: Have you heard of it yet? If not, you're about to. The cutting-edge trend has been popping up like the first blooms of spring, and it's about to get really, really big. Ocean-sized, even. And you don't want to be left behind!
Of course, pearl jewelry isn't without its associations. When people think pearls, they often think stuffy, old-fashioned, or too event-specific to really be worth buying. Maybe that's how it used to be, but it's certainly not the case anymore.
Pearls can come in a surprising variety of shapes, sizes, and textures, and they're always timelessly feminine. That said, they can also be funky, eclectic, and dare I say — cool.
