New Ways to Wear Pearl Jewelry

Today's pearl fashions are anything but your basic, boring take on pearls. Unless you're wearing a wedding dress, go for anything but a classic strand. Mixed media is hot in pearl fashions right now. Great for 2008: Seed pearls on organza fabric...leather and pearls...the rules have gone out the window.

More 2008 pearl fashion trips and trends:

• layer necklaces of varying lengths and materials
• choose black, lavender or pink pearls over traditional white
• wear traditional, classic pearls with casual wear
• thread an oversize cocktail ring on your pearl necklace, or tie the necklace in a knot
• wrap a large necklace around your wrist for a cool cuff bracelet
• choose oversize, mother-of-pearl beads instead of traditional 6-7mm pearls
