Ever since I first saw the character of Brie Van de Kamp on Desperate Housewives, I have secretly wanted to morph into her. Well, sans the relationship woes and family debacles. I am talking about her poise, preparation and organization. Overall, I have been successful on acquiring unparalleled gardening skills, and I set a table like nobody I know can. Still I could never get into her sweater set and pearl necklace branded look.

I have however come across a style of pearl necklace that might just convince me otherwise. I found an advertisement for the beautiful jewelry randomly in a Portuguese magazine. Immediately I went to the listed website for the designer and fell in love with her work.

She has designed an entire collection of gorgeous pearl necklaces in black, white and colour. There are no chains involved; just cord of cottom, suede or leather hold the capriciously shaped pearls. If you do not see exactly what you want, she will create what you wish. And if you are in the market for unique wedding jewelry, she has pieces made with just that in mind.

To be quite honest I am hesitant to share the designers info, because I want to be one of very few walking around with one of her pieces. But, alas, much like Brie, I crave being able to share such fabulous info than to keep it hush hush. Go see what I am talking about the Martine.NL website.
