Lanvin Pearls

[Marlee]

i keep hearing about lanvin's tulle wrapped pearls but i haven't been able to find a pic. does anyone have a pic?

I couldn't find a close-up pic, but here's a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing them. I hope this helps a little bit.

Hmm...I don't really get the concept behind this. What's the point of using pearls if you can't even see them...

 

[Marlee]

from what i can tell you can still see the pearls, there's just sort of veil of tulle. i know several people have mentioned them on the "wearing today" thread so maybe they can explain them? please!

btw, thanks for the pic narciso!

i saw sarah jessica parker wear them in a finale sex and the city documentary. pre final episode and they were pretty hot.

also featured in harpers bazaar this month...they are a definite must-have...priced quite moderately, anyone who can, should.

exactly.

I don't buy anything I know i could make myself for much less.

Unless it's a handbag I really like

besides.. i bought something very similar to this necklace last summer.

Thanks for the explanation chanel_girl. I still don't really get the point of them though. Oh well...

I love, love, love that necklace but I agree... I would NEVER spend that much for faux pearls. I actually planned on making one just like it since I do make jewelry but havent got around to doing it yet.

I have a couple pictures of it. How close up do you want the picture? LOL
Heres one of Liv wearing it REALLY CLOSE UP. I think she has it wrapped around & tied in the front.

* EDIT Tiff, I added the image as an attachment, I hope you don't mind

 

[purplelucrezia]

The pictures aren't working again Tiffany7...

That is a LOT of money for faux pearls. I bet you could even buy real tahitan pearls for that price.
