For generations, America’s first ladies have worn triple-strand pearl necklaces. This look has reigned as a symbol of class, gracefully walking the line between modesty and glamour. And it’s no secret that some of those iconic pearls didn’t come from the sea. When the wife of our 43rd president attended his 1989 inaugural ball wearing a striking blue gown and three strands of glass pearls, the necklace became a global sensation, kicking off demand for the signature look. And when the wife of our 35th president’s triple-strand glass pearl necklace went up for auction in 1996, it netted a breathtaking $211,500.
Inspired by that proud and savvy tradition is the Elegance First Necklace, pearl jewelry that features yellow gold-finished settings replete with accent stones of sparkling white DiamondAura®, our Ultimate Diamond Alternative®.
