pearls have always symbolized class and
unblemished perfection but sometimes the
simple strand doesn’t work with your
wardrobe hi I’m Veronica with
watchmojo.com and today we’re taking a
look at how you can add a modern twist
to the classic pearl community start by
introducing yourself I’m Alan papasian
and this is my partner and daughter
Laura zackham I’m third generation in
the jewelry business and my daughter
just fell in love with with the business
and she’s my inspiration growing up I’ve
been watching her as an artist I mean
she has other hobbies as well she does
stained glass and alongside she designs
jewelry and I’ve always been in awe and
amazed and said that we should open a
beautiful story so what is the history
of the pearl
well pearls date back to 100 BC only
royalty was allowed to wear pearls not
the common person and throughout history
they’ve been very important for example
Cleopatra wagered mark-anthony
that she could feed him the most
expensive meal that he’s ever had and
she took one of her pearls and she
dissolved it in a glass of wine and had
him drink it Cartier the famous Cartier
bought his building on Fifth Avenue in
New York with one strand of pearls
symbolism also how it represents wisdom
and good fortune you’re already in
purity right so because it is a perfect
gem it was called the perfect gem
because it’s unaltered it’s as beautiful
as the day it’s made cultivated made
born often when we think of a strand of
pearls we think of older woman is this
association still true it’s fair to
think that obviously you know we see an
older woman she’s wearing her pearls or
heirloom pearls which is which is
beautiful I mean pearls essentially are
timeless but I mean you know I am a
prime example I love my pearls I wear
them they evening jeans formal wear I
mean they’re fun and what’s great about
the pearls that we have in this store is
that we have the classic we offer the
classic look but we also have pearls
with embellishments with crystals with
diamonds with semi-precious stones to
add that Flair that’s is old what are
some ways that you can add a modern
twist to the pearl we sit down with a
client based on
look their personality their style we’ll
we’ll base it on the color coordination
that they like or they wear and it’ll be
custom-made just for them to suit their
their lifestyle I guess and their budget
we add beautiful chuckles vacuum
crystals we offer Sourav ski crystals
set on sterling we have I’m actually
wearing Tahitian pearls with Rose cut
champagne diamond beats its limitless I
guess you could say for people to be
able to update their pearls they need to
make sure that they last so what are
some ways to make sure that they last
forever you have to keep them away from
any sort of chemicals creams
perfumes hairspray and you have to wipe
them down every so often if if you feel
they’re dirty you keep them in a
separate pouch and restringing always
refreshes them if you wear them very
often we recommend once a year if you
don’t wear them that often every second
year well thank you so much ladies thank
you it’s been a pleasure thank you and I
hope you liked everything
