"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string." - Anne, of Avonlea

ST. PATRICK'S DAY INSPIRATION

St. Patrick's Day is coming!! For those of you who don't know me, my last name McNamara is of Irish descent. The McNamara clan is very diverse, and hails from County Clare in Ireland. Family lore says that we've got 7 (!!) standing castles in Ireland, and it's a big deal to return to the Emerald Isle and do "the tour" at some point ... it's on my bucket list for now haha.
Which brings us to today. In honor of St. Patty's I thought I'd put together a collection of some of the prettiest, most unique and valuable Emerald and Pearl jewelry pictures I could possibly find. Besides, Emeralds are one of my very favorite precious gemstones in the world (be sure to check out my Emerald Board on Pinterest for more insanely gorgeous gems!!), so this is as good as an excuse as any to showcase them. Feast your eyes, drink them in (tee hee), and enjoy the wearin' o' the Green!




"KEEP CALM & WEAR PEARLS"
Serenity ... The word conjures up cool breezes, the lull of the waves breaking on the shore and the calm, still feeling that only pearls bring to the jewelry world. Our gorgeous new Serenity Solitaire pearl rings feature a sinuously flowing band of hand-crafted 14K Gold or .925 Sterling Silver that reflects light beautifully! Topped with a luminous Metallic White Freshwater pearl, this ring is sure to be a joy to the eye and the imagination!
Metallic Freshwater pearls represent some of the very finest Freshwater pearls available in the world, and some of the rarest, with less than 1 in 1,000 pearls displaying this type of sharp, mirror-like luster, shining with delicate intense Aquamarine, Gold and Rose overtones. Their smooth drop shapes, clean surfaces and bright, almost Akoya-like luster are guaranteed to please.
