pearl necklaces


Once a year our family gets together in its entirety to have a family portrait made. Granted, we get together for all the major holidays, but most of the time having everyone together usually happens only when we're eating and then someone is rushing in our out the door. My parents are usually the one who arranges the date and time for the family portrait and we all know that we are expected to be there, without exception. Each of us receive one of the portraits as a gift from my parents and it's a special time for all of us.

Each year we also have a color theme. This year is white or cream and red. I always try to find the perfect outfit and this year I decided to go with a cream colored outfit with brown accessories. When I showed mom the outfit, she said that it was elegant and she bet that pearl necklaces would be perfect with it. I guess I made a face when she said that, because all I could think about was white pearl necklaces and how it would ultimately clash with the cream color that I was wearing. She said that apparently I hadn't shopped for pearl necklaces in a while, because they weren't just white any longer, and in fact pearl necklaces could be bought in just about every color.

She was right, I didn't own any pearl necklaces, so didn't know much about the colors other than white. She made the suggestion that I head to the local department store and look at the pearl necklaces there to get some ideas. I promised her that I would. That evening I went to the mall to see if I could find some of these pearl necklaces that mom was talking about in a color other than the whitest of whites. I spent some time browsing around the jewelry counter and then I saw the most beautiful coffee with cream colored pearl necklaces that I knew would be perfect with my outfit. As usual, mom was right. I almost bought the pearl necklaces but I decided that I would do like I always do and check online first for a better price.

When I got home the first thing I did was search online for pearl necklaces, and sure enough I found Chocolate brown shell pearl necklace. 14kt gold clasp. 18" for a much better price at Ultra Mall who can be found online at www.theultramall.ispeedway.com. By ordering pearl necklaces online, I saved more than 25% and it should arrive in around a week, which is just in time for the family pictures. Now I need to call mom and thank her for the advice.
