Well, I don't know if Barack Obama would wear a Tahitian pearl. Maybe as a tie tack or cufflinks. But Michelle Obama, on the other hand,

It looks like she has a long rope (of Akoyas?) that she likes to wear in a few different ways, doubled or tripled. And what appears to be a strand of white South Sea pearls.

And she wears them well



I wonder what our pearl experts would recommend that she add to her pearl wardrobe next.

[quote=jshepherd]If any of you watch the Weekend Today Show on NBC, they are going to feature our Tahitian on leather piece in a style segment for men tomorrow morning. The show is live, of course, so anything can happen. But they did give us the thumbs up today that it was going to happen tomorrow.


I watched the segment (8:45 NY time). I saw your pearl!!!
Interesting, the emphasis they made regarding men and jewelry.... not to look like "Tony Soprano".

Just back from the Obama thing. Did not get a pearl on him I took Doug Fiske from GIA (a big Obama fan). It was fun, but only because we spent most of the time talking pearl not politics.

Interesting article...

What do you think: showing pearl on really young sporty guys in adds makes them awkward on mature men? 'Bet that's not what the advertisers intended!
