Well, ckrickett -- we have your friend to thank for ruffling my feathers! I'm longing to see LOTS of examples of us wearing pearls with prints! Please jump in with pictures to dispel the myth that pearls should not be worn with prints.

Here are some oldies to get us started:









Your turn!

I am a firm believer that one wears what pleases one and too bad for those that think otherwise.

fun thread!

It really had a beautiful drape and was the perfect length.

I don't buy prints so I guess I have nothing to add here. I never liked them with my gold or gemstone jewelry before I was into pearls.

I often feel a simple gold or silver necklace just doesn't have the presence to stand up to a print ... where a nicely chosen strand of pearls has that presence. FlyGirl, I'm grinning about your post :)

I wear mostly solid color separates. But, I do have a few prints, and I do wear them with pearls. :lickout:

Was this no pearls with prints discussion in reference to a specific combo? I can see how multicolor pearls may clash with a multicolor print. I love prints so in most of pics I've posted to show me your pearls thread I'm wearing some sort of a print. Here's just one example.

It was in reference to me posting my pearls in What I wore and making a comment on "pearls with prints" because a know it all friend of mine saw me wearing my strand of pearls with a printed blouse in the past and made a comment that pearls with prints were taboo and looked tacky. Obviously she is very silly, and very wrong.

A 'no it all' friend is NOT a friend. I love the pairings that have been posted. What a great thread.

Oh, our friends have all sorts of quirks (as do we). And we have to thank her for her comment because we now have a place to post our pearls and print!

baby monster -- I love your example! Absolutely beautiful.

Fly Girl -- wonderful, varied examples! Can you tell us more about the ripples?

ckrickett-- your top was begging for pearls!

I usually wear solids with my pearls but I do think some prints look amazing with pearls.

Here are a few...

What great photos! They are so much fun to look at. Indeed, prints and pearls do match -- personally, my impression is that one only needs to know how to match them, and clearly you ladies all have a great sense of style (which is probably why you love pearls!).

I was SUPPOSED to see her today, but those plans fell through because of wedding planning. But here is my printed floral tunic with my 2 tahitian strands. I like them together, although taking pictures of my pearls never looks good in my house. Always so washed out :knockout:

Wore a 4 strand torsade of Akoya keshis from PP with a printed top. The blue and white reminds me of a Ming vase. :think:
