This year spoil your Mother and splurge for a princess-length necklace, or perhaps a gorgeous pair of South Sea Pearl earrings set with diamonds and yellow 14-18k gold.

The South Sea pearl is the rarest in the world and a work of art—enormous with a mirror-like shine and nearly flawless surface.

Whichever your choice, she will be taken aback by your thoughtfulness.

Recognize her with the elegance that she deserves: Give her a classic Tahitian pearl pendant set with diamonds and white 14-18k gold.

With more color variations than any other pearl, Tahitians are exquisite. Like the South Sea , the Tahitian pearl’s surface is mirror-like, with overtones in peacock, pistachio, rose, silver and many other colors.

Choose Tahitian pearls in black green, peacock, or rose shades, as these colors look especially good on a person of age.

Whether utilized in a necklace or a bracelet, you can never go wrong with a wonderfully crafted strand of cultured Akoya pearls.

Classically beautiful Akoya pearls tend to be a safe, conservative choice and look fabulous on nearly all women.
