I love pearls! I also have a set from my grandmother. In my late teens and early twenties I wore pearls everyday & was known them. (Shortly thereafter I graduated from nursing school, so wearing them daily wasn’t possible) Lately I have been going through my clothes and accessories & only having things I really love & that make a statement as to who I am. I’m very excited to add a new set of pearls & currently fretting over which set to buy first.
This video is old but it was the first one to pop on my recommendations. You gave me some good info! I just started working in the Jewelry business. We're about to open our shop this following Monday. It's just me and my cousin. She's been in the business for 12 years so everything I'm learning is from her and the internet! I'm excited to start working in this business. Trying to learn everything I can before Monday
This video was extremely useful. I have two pearl rings that i love so so much but I've been scared too wear them because of so many ways I heard I can destroy my pearls. I'm glad I have found your video!
I love that you can combine the bracelets and necklaces for sizing!! Such a thoughtful addition to your pieces. I will definitely be ordering some in the future☺️
Love this series. I have some pearl jewelries given as gifts by family members through past few years, but never knew how to style them. Thank you for those videos showing me how to wear them and also make it stylish.
Thanks for this pearl video. Peal (and crystals) are the only jewelries I wear all the time. I take care of all my pearl necklaces and earrings with extra cares, same as you, so that they last long. Great video and beautiful pearls!!
How refreshing to discover your channel. I am a classic girl for decades and just ordered a hanadama strand to elevate my look from chronic daily yoga pants. Love your style. Subbed.
This is good to know about not spraying perfume (colognes) on them or use cleaners. I have some pearls that I keep in an interesting satin (?) lined pouch-like thing they came in. I think one of the reasons I don’t wear them is because I’m not sure of the clasps (which is kind of like the one on your grandmothers necklace). I should actually start wearing them. Thank you for this information.
I've been on your site, which is lovely. Please tell me what size pearl you use for your convertible necklace. Also, did I hear you say that instead of a silk knot, you used silver spacer beads. Can't tell from the video. Thank you.
I do have a question~ how can you tell when your pearls need to be restrung? I have a beautiful string from my grandmother and I would like to make sure it keeps in great condition. 💋
Darlin will the new earrings be on sale for a little I need to figure out how many to order I have a ton of nieces 12 to be exact not all of them will get a pair just the older ones
Hmm where did you buy them from? Not all Akoya pearls are perfect spheres, but speckles in the luster should not occur. Have the pears been damaged by chemicals? Even perfume or detergents can damage pearls with repeated use.
New subscriber here Elle! Love your videos and LOVE that fur ball munchkin Fufu!! I love wearing pearls but have always heard comments that they are for old ladies. So when I stumbled on to your channel I was glad that I am not alone! I have a question - could you talk about the size of pearls one should choose? What factors should go into making this decision - outfit/age/occasion? Thanks much!
I got 2 mikimoto pearls strands. I got a black peacock Tahitian pearl necklace 8-10mm and a strand of 10-12mm grey Tahitian pearls, bot mikimotos. They retailed between 28k and 32k , about 60k. I paid 7k for both. OMG the most beautiful. Both have 18k white gold clasp, eBay
I love the pearls so much, I want to add another. The Mikimoto pearl necklace you held up, I have the bracelet. It is 25 years old. I received as a gift. About 10 years ago, the string broke. I had not kept up restringing. Luckily I got all the pearls in my my office that fell from the string and need to have it restrung. Do you know if a general jewelry store does that or does that require a special service through Mikamoto? To be honest, I love the rose gold ones I got from you. I have had to clean the silver clasp and it cleans well. Now, I need to get some rose gold earrings to match and maybe a white strand as well. P. S. I have your handwritten postcard you sent out in my bedroom on a board for positive thoughts and cards I get. I really enjoy your videos and love your style. Mine has been very similar all my life and probably I'll always be a classic style girly girl. LOL
I know Mikimoto recommends that you bring in the pearls for care/restringing every few years, so that would be the 'right' way to do it.However, Vancouver doesn't have a Mikimoto so I will probably just bring it to our local jeweller, Birks and have them do it, or do it myself if I have the patience for the knots. Love that you kept the Nouvelle Pearl card, that makes my day! :)
Hi, I know this thread is over a year old, but thought I would mention that Mikimoto used to rethread at no cost for clients who bought the item from them, though unsure if it is still free, I would not risk any other jeweller to rethread a MIkimoto piece, for they are among the most sort after & expsensive in the world.
key is to also wait to put on your pearls until after you use hairspray.. also dont take pearls into any pools with chlorine as over time this will remove the layers of the laquer on the beads.. btw are you a Graduate Gemologist? just curious since I am ..:-)
I know this video is pretty old, so you probably know this already, but the knot is also there so that if your necklace breaks, you will only lose 1 pearl instead of the entire strand.
I have my pearl collection some are Hawaiian pearl and sweet lake And Australia pearl with sworosky and honk Kong water Pearl my ring s are minimoto So I want to Cher my collection store off my pearl's Diamanture

I love this series! I am a classic jewelry/pearl lover as well, and I resonate with your style💕
Love your pearls!!! Love you and your videos too! Can you do a pearl look book for casual wear as well as dress up?

Just ordered the rose gold pearl earrings. The coverable neckless will be my next buy.
I hope you went 18ct for that.

Thanks Elle, Your line looks lovely. I appreciate this video on caring for pearls and the background history as well!
Thanks for this pearl video. Peal (and crystals) are the only jewelries I wear all the time. I take care of all my pearl necklaces and earrings with extra cares, same as you, so that they last long.

Elle, what is that gorgeous glossy lipcolor you are wearing? Thank you!
I had asked you a question this morning on another video and rewatched this one so my question was answered here. Thanks!!!
I love this video! Pls do more jewelry videos esp in facts and ways to care for them.

WOW. Elle's make up is stunning. Look even better than bride.
I've been on your site, which is lovely. Please tell me what size pearl you use for your convertible necklace. Also, did I hear you say that instead of a silk knot, you used silver spacer beads. Can't tell from the video. Thank you.
Elle, your lipstick/gloss is so beautiful! Could you please tell me what you are wearing?
when you are young and wear pearls it looks pulled together and sophisticated,
thanx!
Excellent video!!!!!!❤️
What size are the pearls you're wearing in the video and also the length. I am looking for something exactly like what you are wearing.😊
Will those silver spacer beads tarnish too?
How do Go about purchasing your jewelry?
I do have a question~ how can you tell when your pearls need to be restrung? I have a beautiful string from my grandmother and I would like to make sure it keeps in great condition. 💋
+Jacque Kay usually the silk string will start to stretch or look grey :)
Hi Elle!!! I love your pearls. Please consider coming out with rings as well!!!
Darlin will the new earrings be on sale for a little I need to figure out how many to order I have a ton of nieces 12 to be exact not all of them will get a pair just the older ones
+Susan Velez free shipping will last until Black Friday at the end of November :)
My daughter-in-law just got some Akoya pearls but they have speckles in them. What are these speckles from?
Hmm where did you buy them from? Not all Akoya pearls are perfect spheres, but speckles in the luster should not occur. Have the pears been damaged by chemicals? Even perfume or detergents can damage pearls with repeated use.
@@ElleFlorence She just received them yesterday for her birthday & they were still in the shell when she received them. They came from an Etsy store.
Pls tell me what lipstick you have on this vid? I love it!
Its too pearl like

Thanks Elle! Great advice:)
Can you do a video of how you designed your jewelry? & how you got in touch with the manufacturer? I love your videos!❤️
please do vlogmas!!!
Where do you go to get pearls restrung?
ask a jeweller they may help. not a crap plate gold place but a good place.. not a snooty place.
I got 2 mikimoto pearls strands. I got a black peacock Tahitian pearl necklace 8-10mm and a strand of 10-12mm grey Tahitian pearls, bot mikimotos. They retailed between 28k and 32k , about 60k. I paid 7k for both. OMG the most beautiful. Both have 18k white gold clasp, eBay
you did good. still wearing them?

Also keep them in a dark color bag :)
Iam new to your channel I just subscribed thank you for tips 💕🍁🍂
I love pearls! Thanks for the education. And I love the beautiful cat in the background ... what breed?
+Stephanie O. Sparks Fufu is a Ragdoll :)
How long is strand you are wearing in this video?
It’s 16.5 inches for the short necklace and 7.5 for the bracelet so 24 inches total 💕
key is to also wait to put on your pearls until after you use hairspray.. also dont take pearls into any pools with chlorine as over time this will remove the layers of the laquer on the beads.. btw are you a Graduate Gemologist? just curious since I am ..:-)
i think she's a lawyer :)
P.s. Do you still like your jewellery box? I am in the market for one:)
+Meaghan Parent I love it! It still looks brand new
great thanks:)
Fufu totally stole the spotlight by walking into the video and being so cute on the sofa in the background.
I know this video is pretty old, so you probably know this already, but the knot is also there so that if your necklace breaks, you will only lose 1 pearl instead of the entire strand.
