    Pearls make every woman prettier. Of all the gemstones, they seem to flatter the most. They can be worn day or night, casual or dressy, and elevate any look.
    When I was a young girl someone gave me an add-a-pearl necklace and each year another tiny pearl was added. Somehow over the years I lost that sweet necklace! In any case, today I have a lovely one that’s a staple in my wardrobe. It’s only a single strand but of fine quality and the right size for my features. When I drape it around my neck and look in the mirror, I’m always reminded of how flattering pearls are.

    Another interesting and informative video, thank you Doris! This may be an odd request, but would you ever consider doing a video about sequins/featuring heavily sequined garments? Lately I've been obsessed with them and have been hand stitching them on to just about everything lately, I'm just obsessed with the sparkle. Unfortunately though, I rarely see them worn. I was wondering if you might have any interesting sequin pieces in your collection, and if you do I'd love to see and learn more about them!

    Hello!!! I LOVE my pearls. I’m from Mississippi and my grandmother bought me my first strand. Then my mother bought my daughter her first strand (at birth with a gold ring with a tiny diamond). She had her first photos taken (almost 3 months old) wearing bloomers with laced edging and her jewelry.

    Fashion and jewelry is the best non-fattening way to ease my stress, so I thank Doris and company so much for continuing to make content for The Way We Wore. Maybe do a semi-precious stones theme in costume jewelry? Marcasite jewelry (usually in art deco designs) is one of my favorites, but onyx, malachite, jade and chalcedony are also great visuals for jewelry themes.

I have myself a collection of almost 2,000 pieces of antique ethnic (mainly silver) jewelry from the Middle East, former Ottoman occupied Eastern Europe, Russia and Caucasian region, Iraq and Central Asia. A fine selection of this jewelry will be exhibited soon in a reputable German museum... Many world renowned designers and fashion houses are using the old ethnic jewelry designs in their designs. During my collection frenzy, I have already met fashion house owners who are sharing the same “addiction”...

    Oh, this was my favourite episode so far! I have a very old ornate Haskell brooch but a tiny bead fell off. Now I know why- it was the brass wire that failed. My husband bought it for me from a NYC woman who worked in fashion beginning in the 1930's, and retired to the city I live in. in Wa. state. I have lost touch w. her, but she would now be in her 90's.

    I have a great jewelry repair shop. They can handle the metal findings.
    I met and worked with Ms. Haskell as a young buyer in the seventies. She was warm and friendly but a bit scatty. Her brothers ran the business end of her company and they were major SOB’s, if you see it in the showroom can you imagine what it must be like in the office?
    And I got my Haskell’s free.( can’t do that today.)
    You can go on eBay and type in costume jewelry NOS, new old stock, or just findings.
    A fun way to shop in isolation. But buyer beware. You want it to ship from Rhode Island.

    Hi Doris. I am a 51yo plain housewife. Thank you so much for this very informative video. I am a June baby so I love pearls whatever kind they are. I chanced upon your video while I was checking out costume jewelries from Heidi Daus via youtube (she has her own website and a regular vendor at hsn). I watched an episode from Strange Inheritance featuring Joseff from Hollywood's Collection and the lucky heirs... After that, I became very very impressed with the designs of that of Joseff's, and now, Ms. Haskell's, thanks to you! A lot better, I guess, from that of Heidi Daus because there are designs from Heidi that are on the gaudy side, and a bit kitsch (pretentious) plus it's super duper overpriced. So, with that I wonder what your thoughts are of Heidi's costume jewelry design and do you carry them at your store. I would love to have a piece of Joseff from Hollywood and that of Haskell's but am sure I could not be able to afford them, compared to that of Heidi's. Though I could, but I may have to wait a while longer, much longer. Stay healthy & safe! --- Celia
