Pearls: T-shirt treasures
Pearls and summer, what's better? Maybe gelato?
I have noticed more women wearing pearls with very casual wear—jeans and a tee—than ever before, so in today's windows, delights of the Relaxed Real category: all pieces are under $US 250 and for many, way under. (Not all may be available at time of post; contact jewellers to ask if they can make another.) Prices in approximate $US and do not include shipping.
Let's pair them with a tee! On the bottom, your favourite jeans or skirt.
Fresh as a June breeze, earrings of white freshwater ripple pearls, keshis and red spinel beads; all natural colours, on sterling hooks by Etsy seller simplyadorned4you. (Buy Canadian!) A little more earring than a stud style, but still lightweight. Price, about $105.
Tee: Meg French-tie cotton tee, $69.
26-inch necklace of 7.2-9mm off-round metallic pearls in peach, pink and purple with sparkling Oregon sunstone beads; handmade by PatriciaSaabDesigns (on Etsy). Patricia Saab really knows her pearls and strings on Beader's Secret, which makes her necklaces extra-strong. Price, about $230.
Tee: Why not a mariniére? St. James beige stripes at Halsbrook; other colours available.
I give pearls more window space in June— it's the birthstone for the month, and I want to fit them in before Passage shutters soon, for the usual July and August holiday.

11mm lightly-banded South Sea pearl chevron earrings by Kojima Company, $243. (Note: 10% off all Kojima pieces in June, Pearl Month!) South Sea earrings are often treated with more serious setting; this unusually playful SS style goes with...
Tee: "Anyway" 100% cotton tee by Mango. I like the sleeve length, slightly wider neckline, and clever position of the graphic.
A chic 20-inch necklace of matte onyx beads with a single capped pearl, by Catherine Canino at New Twist; price, $90. I wanted to show the detail on the cap, which is unusual to find at that price.
Tee: Mercerized cotton half-sleeve tee, Uniqlo.
