Twenty years ago my mother bought be a long string of pearls to mark a special achievement. I appreciated the gesture now and still do- It´s a classic piece of jewellery. They were quite - about four or five hundred pounds back then.
The problem is I have only ever worn them twice. I old fashioned and self'conscious in them. There are enough to wrap around to get a double collar and I prefer this. They are very beautiful and I wouldn´t want to sell them really. It just seems a pity to have them sitting in a box.
What do you think of pearls and what should I do with them? Keep them as an heirloom because it was a very special present? Have them made into a collar with a pretty clasp and potentially still not wear them? Or just find a way of wearing them that looks good?
