A pearl strand can moonlight as a professional, formal, or a casual accessory. It is perfect for work, a night concert, or it goes perfectly with a cashmere sweater on any average Saturday. The classic size of pearl in a pearl strand is in the 5.0-8.0mm range. Keep in mind the larger pearl sizes, like 10.0mm, should be reserved for special occasions. Pearl strands start at $125.

Platinum, 18k gold and sterling silver offer a variety of colors and levels of durability. A simple sterling silver chain can be an inexpensive touch of style.
