In the past and in the present, female royalty are considered celebrities. These women have understood that they are fashion icons while still fulfilling their duties of leading figures in behavior and official responsibilities. So when we talk about celebrities and pearls we should begin with the most faithful fans of the pearls, the queens.

The air of ultimate sophistication and elegancy is without a doubt given by a necklace of exquisite pearls. Celebrities and pearls are tightly bound together. Take for example the British royal women. We could talk for a while about the famous pearls worn by these amazing British queens. La Peregrina Elizabeth Taylor In the golden époque of the British Empire, pearls were only permitted to be worn by the queen. It was known that pearls became so popular among the queens that Anne Boleyn used a big pearl necklace to cover a sensible defect on her neck. Furthermore, Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria were famous for their passion about the beauty, the elegancy and at the same time the purity given by pearls.

Some famous pearls are on display in museums today since these have been handmade for the queens. In terms of celebrities and pearls we are inclined to think about the most exquisite pearl of all time, “La Peregrina”. This piece of jewelry was first worn by Queen Mary and eventually made it to another big fan of pearls, Elizabeth Taylor.

Throughout history, pearls have been considered by the queens as a symbol of virtue, elegancy and even virginity as Queen Elizabeth I much wanted to display to her subjects. Her collection of pearl jewelry is unique in the world and all her descendents loved and desired to wear her pearls.

Even today, pearls are extremely popular among the royals. Queen Elizabeth was seen at the Royal Wedding on April 29th wearing a pearl necklace, along with many other guests that attended!
