			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Through the centuries, brides have worn <a target="_blank" title="Pearl Wedding Jewelry" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/Brides-Bridesmaids">pearl jewelry</a> on their wedding day. Pearls were generally given to the bride by either her father or the groom. In India they symbolized purity and innocence; a happy marriage in Greece. A symbol of perfection, prosperity, love and virtue, the only gem that needs no cutting or polishing, what better gift to give to a bride for her wedding day? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>One Pearl’s bridal pieces are that much more special, because t</span><span>he contrasting pearl is not only a symbol of a bride&#8217;s uniqueness, but of One Pearl&#8217;s charitable mission. What better way to celebrate one&#8217;s good fortune on your wedding day than with beautiful pearls that contribute to the greater good?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><a target="_blank" title="Bridal Jewelry" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/Brides-Bridesmaids"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-204" title="bridal-bridesmaid-wedding-pearl-jewelry" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bridal-bridesmaid-wedding-pearl-jewelry-150x150.gif" alt="bridal-bridesmaid-wedding-pearl-jewelry" width="150" height="150" /></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>One Pearl’s Wedding Jewelry Collection</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>One pearl has over 40 pieces in our <a target="_blank" title="Wedding Jewelry" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/Brides-Bridesmaids">Wedding Jewelry</a> collection. Over 20 of them are under $100. We can customize pieces as well. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The 70” white baroque or white potato pearl strand can be worn many ways, depending upon the style of your dress. If you are wearing a strapless gown, wearing it as a bracelet will look so very elegant. If you change gowns for your reception, you could still wear it, this time as a choker perhaps. The versatility of this piece is what makes it such a great value.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/Brides-Bridesmaids/white-baroque-pearl-strand-sterling-silver"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-214 alignnone" title="white-baroque-pearl-strand-250" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/white-baroque-pearl-strand-250-150x150.gif" alt="White Baroque Pearl Strand" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Traditional Bridal Jewelry</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>If you prefer to go a more traditional route, what is more elegant than an 18&#8243; <a target="_blank" title="White Pearl Necklace" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/strands-long-necklaces/6mm-white-pearl-strand-yellow-gold">white pearl necklace</a>? This piece will look spectacular with most any gown. It instantly becomes an heirloom; but one that can be worn on a daily basis, giving any outfit a polished and classic look. When the time comes, it can be passed on to another bride, who will treasure it even more for the sentimental reasons now intertwined with it.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>Pearl Bracelets for the Bride</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Our wrap <a target="_blank" title="Pearl Bracelet" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/Brides-Bridesmaids/white-freshwater-pearl-wrap-bracelet">pearl bracelet</a> looks terrific and is so comfortable to wear, that you will forget you even have it on. There is nothing worse than wearing a piece of jewelry that “bothers” you, one that you can “feel.” Two of these bracelets worn at the same time are striking. At a very affordable $40 each, how can you go wrong?</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A Necklace for Every Length</strong></p>
<p>As I was contemplating new designs last year, one thing I really wanted was a style that could be used in a variety of ways. Some days, I’m in the mood for something different from a 16” or 18” necklace. So, I decided to design a piece that could “become” just about anything you would want or need it to be.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kristen3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-182" title="kristen3" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kristen3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Why 70 Inches?</strong></p>
<p>I thought that if I designed a strand/necklace that was very long, it could be configured into many different &#8220;looks,&#8221; depending on how many times it’s looped and worn. I had several strands made in different lengths and experimented, until I decided that the 70” worked best. It can be worn as a choker, a two, three, or four strand necklace, a bracelet, a belt or even an anklet. Multiple 70” strands can be braided or twisted together to create even more looks. You can easily just layer as many as you want, creating the long layered look that is so popular now. </p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/emma5.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/emma6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-183" title="emma6" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/emma6-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></p>
<p><span id="more-175"></span></p>
<p><strong>Great for Travel</strong></p>
<p>When I travel, a 70” strand is the perfect piece to take with me. I pick a few favorites, throw them in my carry-on and go. Because I can wear them so many different ways, I know that it will “go” with whatever outfit I choose. Usually I throw in a strand of pearls and a strand of micro-faceted stones. Wear them alone or together. The possibilities are endless. That&#8217;s why I LOVE these strands!</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kristen2.jpg"></a><a href="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kristenbracelet.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-184" title="kristenbracelet" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kristenbracelet-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></span></p>
<p><strong>They Fit Everyone!</strong></p>
<p>70” strands make perfect gifts, because they fit everyone. The recipient can adapt them to their own personal style, wearing them with classic and contemporary outfits. They are simple, elegant and striking…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After much deliberation and even more hard work, Brian and I are pleased and proud to announce that the new One Pearl site is up and running. As beautiful and elegant as the &#8220;old&#8221; site was, we found that it was not easy to navigate and the jewelry was not shown at its optimum. Hence, the idea for a new and better functioning site.<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.onepearl.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-67" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/webshot-4-new-site.gif" alt="" width="400" height="157" /></a><br />
Brian has been working non-stop on all aspects of this beautiful new site. The words &#8220;thank you&#8221; cannot adequately convey my appreciation for all that he has done, and continues to do. I always laugh and say that I am the visual/design/creative one and Brian is everything else. Brian is responsible for all that you see on-line. Without him, I am not sure I could have gotten as far as I have.</p>
<p>Through much research, Brian put together an extraordinary team for One Pearl&#8217;s re-birth. The folks at <a target="_blank" title="Horizon Associates" href="http://www.horizonassociates.net/">Horizon Associates</a>, <a target="_blank" title="Moving Pictures" href="http://movingpix.com/">Moving Pix</a>, <a target="_blank" title="Williams and House" href="http://www.williamsandhouse.com/">Williams and House</a> and <a target="_blank" title="Zerilli Studios" href="http://www.zerillistudios.com/">Zerilli Studios</a> were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and helpful throughout this endeavor. During this arduous process, we both learned to stick with what &#8220;you&#8221; do best, then find others to do the rest, thereby ensuring a terrific outcome. A very good lesson to have under our belt(s) indeed.<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.onepearl.com/Jewelry/gemstone-pieces"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-68" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/webshot-5-new-site.gif" alt="" width="400" height="242" /></a><br />
I am so pleased with the new site because it is very easy to navigate. The new product photography is absolutely beautiful, so elegant and crisp.  What I am most pleased about though, is our Giving Index. The Giving Index reminds you of what your purchase will do &#8211; how you are changing the life of a child &#8211; which is really what One Pearl is all about.<br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.onepearl.com/retail-philanthropy/one-pearl-giving-index"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69" src="http://blog.onepearl.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/giving-index-screenshot.gif" alt="" width="400" height="264" /></a><br />
In closing, I&#8217;d like to give thanks to my pearls, my sons Graham and Ian, for putting up with their Mom being so busy lately and really stepping up and helping out. But most of all &#8211; I&#8217;d like to applaud them for being such strong, kind and resilient young men with hearts of gold &#8211; my pearls &#8211; my beautiful boys.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Theresa</p>
