Pearl Colors

I love freshwater pearls. They go with every dress color. I am going to start blogging about questions I'm most frequently asked, and this is definitely up near the top of the list.

My dress is (white, ivory, diamond white, champagne, black, green, platinum, gold... fill in the blank). Will freshwater pearls go with it?

Absolutely. The natural freshwater pearl color is a pale creamy ivory color that goes with all shades of white and ivory. True, it is a slightly darker shade than a stark white, but stark white pearls look fake (because they are.) You probably don't want that.

It is absolutely ok, actually, more than acceptable but preferable - to wear the natural shade of freshwater pearl, rather than trying to find a glass pearl that will exactly match the shade of your gown.
