Power Pearls

Michelle has them. Cindy has them. Even a certain potential Vice President has been spotted sporting them. Suddenly pearl necklaces are popular again, and while these political ladies are sticking to traditional strands, modern brides have a few more options.

Organic elegance is a hot trend for weddings this fall, so try to strive for this style if you're planning on having a romantic outdoor wedding.  We immediately fell in love with the nature-driven look of Fortunoff's freshwater pearl keshi necklace ($120.00). Have your heart set on something a bit more elegant? You'll look a queen wearing this BO J.C. White Topaz and Pearl Necklace from The Clay Pot ($228.00).

Traditionalist at heart? Add a modern twist to your grandmother's plain pearls with Tiffany's Elsa Peretti pearl necklace ($1000.00). The long elegant strands are complimented by a beautiful sterling silver heart clasp.

Just remember: You may not be running for office, but that doesn't mean you can't achieve your own high-powered look!
