Call me old-fashioned, but I’ll get glam stars like Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor, over spoiled pseudo-celebrities like Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson, Nicole Richie, and their children any day of the week. While Old Hollywood oozed class, sophistication and mystery, today's overexposed stars lack grace and sometimes talent! Take how they present themselves: today, the stars walk along the red carpet, barely clothed, dripping in an outrageous, sticky sheen, crying about their personal lives. The badges of yesterday — Jackie O and Lady Diana also come to mind — sent a glamorous elegance that they really wanted to emulate. They were dressed with flair, accessories with style and personal affairs. Moreover, many of the elite of the old Hollywood wore my favorite pearls, a pearl that the ladies', modest reputation is so appropriate for these elegant women. Fortunately for me, and for the whole world, pearls make a great return. We hope that Hollywood will revive the old style of feminine style along with the pearl. As a tribute to the publicity of Old Hollywood, let me take a look at pearl jewelery made famous by some of our most beloved female icons.
Elizabeth Taylor
Perhaps the most famous jewelry collector of our time, the legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor also owns the most famous pearl of La Peregrina. Given her in 1969 by then-husband Richard Burton (yes, he married Liz twice), La Peregrina, an intense pear-shaped white pearl, was found slave in the early 1500s in the Persian Gulf of Panama. First of all, as a wedding gift to Mary Tudor, daughter of King Henry VIII, a rare and extra precious stone belonged to the inheritance of the royal family before being bought at auction by Burton for Taylor as a gift for St. Valentine. (Why she divorced him, which I do not know). Because she divorced him twice, this is even more of a mystery. , Taylor taught famous jewelry designer Cartier to create a ruby and diamond necklace incorporating a gemstone. Great result is awesome. (Searching the web for a photo, the necklace is really special.) General information: Taylor once lost the famous pearl of La Peregrina in his house. A frantic search made an intense white stone ... in her dog's mouth! Thank god Taylor found it before it got scratched!
Marilyn Monroe
You would not have thought that juicy Marilyn, imitating every modern celebrity from Madonna to Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera, would wear a modest single pearl. With her blond locks, amazing voice and breath, Marilyn Monroe, whom we love, is more on top than this, but the only strand of pearls is exactly what she wore. Marilyn received a glowing pearl pearl from baseball slugger Joe Dimaggio, her second husband. Jolene introduced Marilyn with a gorgeous 16-inch Mikimoto necklace of forty-four matching white white white akoyas when they were in the honeymoon. Maybe Dimagio, giving the juicy Marilyn a magnificent pearl thread, tried to turn the sexy star into the ideal housewife of the 1950s? After all, they were known as Mr. and Mrs. America. Alas, their marriage lasted only a year.
Audrey Hepburn
Breakfast in Tiffany is a classic film not only because it’s a wonderful romantic comedy, the star of which is Audrey Hepburn’s favorite screen legend, but because she showed Ms. Hepburn’s elegant and light style. The dress she wore in the film, her now known simple black sleeveless style, was the perfect retro for six-pointed pearls and rock crystal necklaces that she wore as a delightful Holly Golightly. (In the film, seductive, but penniless, Golightly looked impatiently into the updated jeweler Tiffany's window, dreaming about owning treasures inside.) General information: Hepburn's necklace in the film is a fake made of awnings (not diamonds!) This cascade is gorgeous from imitation pearls. Faux or not, a richly decorated pearl necklace looks just gorgeous on Hepburn & 39 39; graceful neck.
Jackie O: It's amazing that the famous and multi-photographed pearl choker Jackie O is also imitated. Gorgeous pearl choker, which was known for its round white "pearls" on lines with different lengths and the typical clear, elegant style of Jackie. The popularity of the necklace went through the roof when Jackie was photographed holding her son John-John when he played with his pearls. Trivia: Jackie's triple-string pearl necklace appeared at auction in 1996. Simulated pearls, almost useless not for their connection with Jackie, expected to receive from 500 to 700 dollars. The Franklin Mint bought a piece for $ 211,500!
Princess Diana
Another favorite icon of style, wealth and class, the most famous jewel of Princess Diana is probably her ragged pearl and diamond tiara. Called the Cambridge Love Knot, this magnificent tiara was presented to the princess by her mother-in-law, the Queen of England. Copies of Lady Dee's pearl tiara are currently being worn by brides all over the world on their wedding day. But Lady Dee wore the tiara of the Spencer family on her wedding day, not the Cambridge love knot, and mated it with a sapphire and pearl necklace, which she received as a wedding gift from the future future Prince Charles. Upstairs? Not when you consider that this decoration is intended for accessories: the silk dress of ivory of Princess Diana had a 25-meter long train and was decorated with 10,000 pearls and sequins. Really suitable for a princess.
Other famous pearl fans
When talking about celebrity jewelry, not a single article would have been complete without mentioning the fashionable power of Coco Chanel, the patchwork French designer who made his signature pearls in the 1920s. Woven pearl lines as easily as other women wear jeans, Coco-House Chanel used pearls in many jewelery and exhibited such magnificent jewelry as a bracelet made from 105 akoy pearls surrounded by diamonds and gold. Recently, an annual collection of jewelry was held in the Parisian fashion house, in which unique pearl products are presented, ranging from 29,000 to 450,000 dollars.
Speaking of celebrity jewelry, we should also mention Sarah Jessica Parker, an actress and a modern style icon, who last year made multi-layered necklaces from large-sized necklaces in her unforgettable commercials. We cannot neglect Rene Russo. The necklace turned into a model actress in the film “The Pewter Cup”, in which white pearls appeared, evenly distributed over a thin chain, received almost the same attention as the romantic comedy “Golden Globe”. Rene's necklace made of tin necklaces, which is now a jewel, has sparked a new trend in modern pearl jewelry. Today, several stunning variations of this simple and elegant tin necklace can be found in jewelry stores around the world.
Speaking of modern chic, Kiera Knightly shook the pearls at the premiere of his film The Black Pearl, playing a black baroque pearl made with different shades of Tahitian pearls. (A happy girl not only gets great jewelry, but also works with Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp.) Life is not fair! And we can't forget the Kate Moss style badge; The fashion model is also often found in pearl threads.
So, how about young Hollywood? Why not abandon the outrageous brilliance, bold dresses and outlandish behavior in favor of Ladai glamor, sophistication and riddles that surrounded the screen legends of the past? America really lacks on-screen icons that we admire, much less want to imitate. Let me bring back the style, class and pearls.
