Hello The Way We Wore Fans,

Who loves pearls? That question is redundant as pearls have been a style staple for centuries, and highly coveted by all. Wilma Flintstone, Aphrodite (the goddess of love), Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth I, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Princess Diana are women who love a pearl piece of jewelry. The popularity of the pearl almost almost wiped out the entire world supply, as they were so highly coveted and farmed excessively. In 1893 Mikimoto created the cultured pearl, allowing this prized jewel to be more accessible.

It was upon entering the 20th century that pearls were used in costume jewelry. Chanel and Miriam Haskell used glass beads and coated them with a finish to give them a pearllike glisten. Haskell's business opened in 1924, and it was became a tremendous success. All women wore Haskell pearls because of their design and hand crafted quality. Today Haskell pieces are highly collectable and sought after. We hope you enjoy this episode.
