Season 1 episode 3 of “love and anarchy” on Netflix
But I don’t think I could pull it off. On myself I feel like pearls look too preppy or wrong because I’m too young to be able to make it work. Am I nuts? Does anyone else think that way?

Those look like lovely, large SS pearls. I love pearls. That's a veritable queens necklace. It would be amazing with a little black dress on a date night but maybe not for the movies. I could see them at a luncheon, or in a board meeting on a powerful woman. To me, that is a strong, powerful look.
Colorful ringed Tahitians are for movies
A formal white strand is, well, so formal looking. With a yuppy outfit it can look a bit stuffy and cliché. I think a beautiful young woman could pull them off, but not to the movies.
Nope
Its like someone who thinks their diamond on their ER is too big
You just have to get used to it
Not sure about the movies though ...
But pearl jewlery is more than just about Wilma Flintstone's
They do appair on the runways
I personally love really long strands of smaller pearls like the 1920's
We need some younger celebs/ stars/ pop stars/ royals to really rock the pearl look like Diana did back in the day - she might have worn them as classics but she also wore them in fun
I wish the Dutchess of Cambridge would wear pearls but pretty soon she's going to be a bit old to influence the younger ones
i admit i wasn't into pearls in my 20s (1990s) but i did have a couple of i think what is called a station necklase - fresh water dyed on silver wire- i wore lots in my early 30s
I think if i had been older in the 80s i would have been influenced by Princess Di, but as much as i loved her i wasn't into clothes or jewlery
Im not sure what preppy means btw ?
But personally im now beyound carring what others think and i wear what i like
I have certainly been to art house movie theaters where pearls on both the young and hip and the older more mature movie goer would not have looked out of place
but i went straight to work from a state high school so im not preppy in any way 
Sometimes i think im the only person who still wears a collared shirt under a jersey
I don't like the feel of anything fluffy/ wooly / scratchy around my neck
But im very encouraged you love pearls, perhaps you will be the trend setter in your group or maybe you like to stand out from the crowd
google is your freind on this
Do you own any pearls right now?
How do you feel about faux pearls ?
Some very rich and influential ladies from the 20th century were famouse for their indulgence of fake pearls - and some of them at a young age
I had a really cheap long $30 strand of dyed freshwaters (brought in the 21st century)
I wore them till they broke they were so much fun - they were mixed with matching dyed shell and long silver beads
Even though they were dirt cheap and dyed a garish blue colour im going to get them restrung because now i miss them
I used to wear them causally everywhere from Christmas day to the beach to 4 wheel driving out in the forest !
i can't wait to see what you eventually deside to buy and wear
(I guess fake pearls should really go in the fabulous fashion jewlery thread but any pearl made by an actual shell fish - dyed or not - freshwater or true natural - i think can happily co exist in this thread
You just gotta find what you like and maybe also what is fun for you
Its not just about rich old ladies wearing their Wilma Flintstone's
i would love Wilma Flintstone's but a pearl journey must start somewhere
Have you done much window shopping?
Pearl paradise have some cool looking pendants and rings but remembering a pearl ring doesn't make a very good every day wear ring
I’ve worn that to office before. SSP strand and earrings. I think it’s just a matter of getting used to it. I wear it with jeans too
Haha hey don’t get me wrong, I love the preppy look, it’s just not me. I have to find a way to wear pearls in an edgy way. I found this look on Instagram. I think layering somehow will help. I have real and fake pearls. I’m going to experiment and report back!

Large pearls don't look formal when they are baroque. Baroque pearls cost less, too.
Even better if they are graduated-- they cost less and weigh less.
These are my baroque SSP from Pure Pearls. 9.1mm - 13.7mm
It must have been someone else's pearls-- I've never been to the Ruckus!
But I'm glad you like the strand.
What you and I have in common is a certain strand of lavender/grayish Biwa pearls and a silver blister pearl pendant.
OMG i love that
I actuallu found a few on the net but i didn't want to overload your thread
Sorry - its 1am and i cant sleep
I was thinking how the preppy look puts you off
when i first started work i worked in the shop of a large regional rural supplies firm
We had a lot of very wealthy farming clients (and lots not so wealthy)
Tuesday was sale day when the farmers would bring their stock to town to be sold
The wives from some of the very big sheep stations had almost a uniform in the 80s and 90s
denham shirt and matching long skirt
with Wilma Flintstone's
i think (and do disrespect to the ladies because some of them were very pleasent to deal with) but i think as i was younger this put me off pearls at the time and yet near this same time Princess Diana was doing amazingly young and excitting things with pearls
Sorry my love for Diana might date me, but unlike myself Diana will never get old
