FINDING THE STORY IN PEARLS 

DIANA JARRETT GG RMV

Who doesn’t love a good story? And what jewelry connoisseur doesn’t love an intriguing tale about their own accessories? Our jewelry wardrobe is built one piece at a time—and it can cover our lifetime. The more intentional our collection becomes, the greater the thought we put into the meaning behind each beautiful item we acquire.

For any woman, her jewelry is a very personal expression of her style and taste. So, it’s no surprise that gemstones that have a great story become a magnetic draw for serious collectors.

Here’s something for your consideration that may have escaped your notice, until now: American-grown freshwater pearls. Today pearls are a must-have addition to any woman’s jewelry wardrobe. They are unique since they are an organic gemstone—there aren’t many claims on that point alone.

But the wide array of pearl shapes, sizes and colors strikes a chord with fashionable consumers.

American freshwater pearls are a great choice to add to any jewelry lover’s collection. Many people are not aware that we can actually, acquire freshwater pearls right here in our good ol’ USA—and that’s another talking point to the story of American freshwater pearls.

Bob Keast, CEO of Tennessee River Freshwater Pearl Museum in Camden, TN offers his perspective, “In recent years, Tennessee freshwater pearls have seen a resurgence in popularity among younger consumers, who are embracing their natural beauty and versatility,” he explains. Promotion for these natural beauties gets a major boost from influencers who love these gems too. Citing the role of social media in driving the trend of American freshwater pearls, “many influencers and designers showcase unique ways to style these pearls, blending traditional elegance with contemporary fashion.”

We think that these homegrown beauties are a natural fit for the Naples style-con woman. The pearl’s casual elegance mirrors our ladies’ own approach to a relaxed fashionable lifestyle.

Your best look is the one that you dream up yourself. You’re the original story we love.
