Many a husband has found himself contemplating the holiday season without the first idea of what to give the woman he adores. While you, yourself, would be happy with any number of fantastic gifts, from tech gadgets to warm socks to a tackle-box full of fishing lures, you will not opt to give your wife any of these gifts if you know what\u2019s good for you. And likely you\u2019ve already tried giving lingerie (probably with mixed results) and clothing (no doubt a disaster, especially if you guessed her size). Diamond jewelry is always a good option, but from the way past attempts at accessories seem to have found a permanent home in the bottom of her jewelry box, you suspect you haven\u2019t quite pegged her style yet. So what\u2019s a guy to do with the holidays fast approaching and no plan for a gift that will wow her? Simple: opt for pearls.<\/p>\n
Absolutely every woman can find a use for a strand of pearls. In the past, they would have been worn exclusively for special occasions (with the exception of Donna Reed, the only woman in the world to wear pearls while vacuuming). Today, their uses are many and varied. Most women feel just as fashionable these days wearing their pearls with a t-shirt and jeans as they would with a little black dress. Pearls have become an everyday fashion accessory along the same lines as diamond stud earrings in that they can be worn for nearly any event, even if it\u2019s only a trip to the grocery store.<\/p>\n
The only real question is: what style should you select? As you are about to become keenly aware, there are more options than you think. Pearls come in different shapes (round are traditional, but \u201cnatural\u201d shapes have gained popularity), sizes (small pearls suit most women at about a quarter of an inch diameter max, although some women like them much chunkier), and colors (white, cream, pink, gold, green, blue, gray, and black are all possibilities, so you\u2019ll have to decide which suits your lady). In addition, you can get strands that are long, short, or layered. That\u2019s quite a few choices.<\/p>\n
But if you want to make it easy on yourself, there is a foolproof way to purchase pearls and that is to go with the classic strand. White or nearly white pearls in a long strand definitely encompass the traditional look. She can wear them long like a flapper, make a couple of loops for different lengths, or even wind them around her wrist to form a bracelet. And the color will match any outfit. Classic pearls will not only impress any woman, but they offer a variety of options when it comes to pairing the accessory with an ensemble. So if you\u2019re looking for the perfect gift for that special lady in your life this holiday season, make it a strand of pearls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
