  Nancy Newberg Oxidized Black Silver with Pearls

  What a little black dress needs is frisky black jewelry with pearls and Nancy Newberg Jewelry has just the thing -- non traditional blackened silver pearl earrings and bracelets.
  
  These oxidized silver hoops with diamonds and pearls stopped me in my tracks at the Couture Show.
  
  
  
  Then, I was bowled over by this bracelet.
  
  
  
  I went to the website and fell in love with these fabulous and versatile earrings.

  A Beating Heart of Green

  A Beating Heart of Green

  This pendant has been on my mind. To me, it resembles a heart that has burst open to reveal a river of emerald crystals. Part of the joy of baroque pearls is that they are like clouds -- different people see different things in them.
  
  Hisano Shepherd of little h sees things that I wouldn't have conceived -- until I see them and realize that each pearly interpretation is exactly right.
  
  What do you see?

  Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome

  Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome

  There is an expression that has been repeated many times on Pearl Guide over the years: "Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome". Basically, you get used to larger pearls and over time they seem smaller. This is exacerbated by the continual increase in the size of pearls on the market and by the fact that as some of us age, we get larger and the pearls stay the same. Consider this photo from 2010, taken at the offices of PearlParadise.com. I remember resisting trying on this strand of South Sea pearls beca...

  Falling in Love

  Can I say that I heard music when I first spied this little h pearl? Yes!
  "When I fall in love, it will be forever..." I'm hearing Nat King Cole singing in my head.
  
  The little h display at the Las Vegas JCK Show was better than ever. Just when you think Hisano Shepherd has done it all, she surprises and delights you all over again. This variation made music for me because of the effervescent variation in the sizes of the pearls lining the souffle' pearl, which to me looks...
