“Wearing a Pearl Necklace in a classy design can accompany any type of outfit,” observes one fashion expert. “A mix of demure sophistication and glamorous modernity, a white freshwater pearl necklace can look fabulous and modern if you pair it correctly.” We’ve chosen two pair:

And they’ve been able to last: “The pearl necklace is an iconic classic,” notes a book dedicated to the subject, “which has offered an irresistible invitation to subversive reinterpretation through the centuries. Renaissance queens, maharajas, First Ladies, and starlets from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the present have all made the pearl necklace part of their most seductive looks—each wearing it after the fashion of the times or their own fancy.”

It even goes back to caveman times … since frugal Fred seems to have given willing Wilma one for their honeymoon (below left)!

That’s quite a rock … but then, paper and scissors had yet to be invented. Those would have to wait for the Egyptians, yet Brit beauty Pamela Green still took a pearl necklace to portray Cleopatra (above right).

And even before The Flintstones made a splash on TV, America’s ‘Perfect Mom’ was a ‘June’ bride bursting with pride!

Simultaneously in the Fifties, the popular Archie Comics managed to slip in a ‘Pearl Necklace’ reference to its young audience. Which we find totally in keeping with a strip that featured a character named ‘Jug•Head.’

Then, when cable came in, one transmission focused on emission: “The term was introduced to viewers of the HBO comedy Sex and the City in episode 69 {snatcherly}, first broadcast in 2004,” reports Wikipedia. “In the episode, one of the characters misunderstands a promise she overhears made to another character, Samantha Jones {Kim Cattrall, below}, who then explains the term.”

As only Samantha could: “You know,” she tells naïve Charlotte {Kristin Davis}, “when a guy decorates your neck?” {forgive the Croatian translation}:

Later sex-mad Samantha dangles her pearls before ‘swine’ …

We’ve kept you dangling long enough … let’s release the next 10 ‘Pearl Necklaces’ worn by sexy celebs:

20. HEIDI MONTAG

The object of ridicule even on her birthday (above left), the star of the aptly-tit•led The Hills regretted her ‘boob job’ decision almost immediately: “I’m desperate to go back to normal, to a D or double D {she’d wanted a “size ‘H’ for Heidi”}. I’m obsessed with fitness, but it’s impossible to work out with these boobs” (above right).

Later she expanded on that—saying she ‘regretted blowing over $1 million” on the surgeries {pearls swirls, above left}. Doggy was more her style anyway (above right). “My ego got too big,” Montag moaned. So did her ingots.

19. JESSE JANE

Born Cynthia Taylor in Fort Worth, Texas, she almost became a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader … so no wonder her “favorite position is Cowgirl. I love to ride a guy’s cock.” The lucky ‘guys’ have included Tommy Lee and Kid Rock—not to mention a 2-year fling with Michelle Rodriguez! {bet their Sapphic sex was Fast and Furious}. More into women, Jesse isn’t adverse to jism: “I love putting a hard cock into my mouth, licking it up and down, then sucking and jacking it off with my hands—then having them cum on my tits.” Strands over glands (above).

18. CINDY CRAWFORD

A direct descendent of Emperor Charlemagne, Sleuth crowned her his ‘Sexiest Woman of 1994.’ And the ‘Model with the Mole’ (above left) promised her people that she’d never alter her natural gems: “Of course, this is easy to say because I have real ones, and I’m not that attached to their size,” the supermodel shrugged. If she had spruced up her sparklers, it might’ve been ‘curtains’ for her career (above right).

Cindy early on thanked supermodel predecessor Paulina Porizkova for “paving the way for girls with tits,” though she added: “I don’t mind being topless, but I wouldn’t be comfortable without any clothes on.” Butt pearls dress up any outfit (above).

17. MARILYN CHAMBERS

Pearls became the ultimate (p)ornament when worn by the ’99 and 44/100 percent pure’ Ivory Snow Girl after she took the first slow-mo ‘necklace’ in the landmark 1972 adult film Behind the Green Door. After her sudden death in April 2009, former co-star Richard Pacheco said it best: “She was beautiful in an era of adult when most of the women weren’t beautiful.” A pearl among 'clams,' perhaps?

16. BIANCA JAGGER

“I never knew a woman with no breasts could be so sexual,” exclaimed acclaimed artist Larry Rivers, while Andy Warhol agreed: “She has no tits” (above left). Yet being 4 months pregnant at her wedding to Mick (above right) helped: “I was completely filled with milk,” Bianca tittered, “enough for a whole army.” Favorite designer Giorgio Sant’Angelo called her, “A sweet sexy girl with a good head”—well, her initials are B.J.!

15. LIZZY JAGGER

When Jagger left Bianca for model Jerry Hall, they conceived their daughter while “horseback riding in Connecticut.” A nip off the old block (33A-24-33, above), Thin Lizzy was caught on closed-circuit cameras “giving a hand job” to soccer spawn Calum Best “in the stairwell of London’s trendy Kabaret Prophecy Club on 2/18/05. She sued to stop the footage from getting out—after George Best’s son got off—and won … with the judge ruling: “Although claimant may be said to be guilty of misconduct, she was not guilty of such moral turpitude as to prevent her from seeking relief.” Such as right between those rolling stones below.

14. LIZ TAYLOR

From Lizzy to Liz … there’s no end to the jewelry jizz {just don’t get it in her eyes, above left). Biographer Mart Martin called those violet visions “her second finest feature: Taylor’s best known assets were her breasts. Richard Burton said that they were ‘apocalyptic, they would topple empires down before they withered.’” Bra•vo!! (above right).

13. SANDRA TAYLOR

The Westchester, New Yorker was using her real name of Sandra Korn {as in the autographed gem above right} in 1991 when she met mogul Donald Trump, who advised her to change her Jewish surname to Taylor {like Liz}. “Donald Trump was amazing in bed!” Sandi said when her former lover became a candidate in August 2015. “Omigosh, he was great.” We can only guess if he gave her that pearl necklace (above left) … or the cheaper kind? “The two enjoyed a few more dates” {after having sex on the first at her apartment}, according to the Daily Mail, “but split when their relationship became public” {he was married to Ivana and sleeping with Marla at the time}. “I was sad when it ended,” Taylor sniffs today. Sleuth won’t be …

12. GRETA GARBO

The enigmatic ‘Swedish Sphinx’ was cited in The Guinness Book of World Records as “the most beautiful woman who ever lived” (above), but according to the husband of her screen rival Paulette Goddard {who began our ‘Pearl Necklace’ countdown}, All Quiet author Erich Maria Remarque: “Greta was lousy in bed.” He also slept with Marlene Dietrich, whose earlier doomedaffair with Garbo is believed to be the reason for the Swede’s reticence and retirement. “Women were the ones I could trust and the ones I could love,” Greta confessed just before her death in 1990. “If that makes me gay or a lesbian, that’s what I am. I never said ‘I want to be alone.’ I said ‘I want to be left alone.’”

11. KEELEY HAZELL

Crowned ‘The Queen of Page 3,” she accessorizes her tiara with a perfect ‘pearl necklace’ above. “There’s nothing sexier than black underwear,” Keeley coos. “I’d never say never,” asserted the aspiring Bond Girl in 2006 about the chances of a homemade sex video, “but no, I can’t see it happening. It’s not for me.”

But it was for boyfriend Lloyd Miller, a brawny bricklayer—make that brick•house layer!—and the porn tape surfaced the very next year! “It just happened,” the glamour great sobbed. “There were certain things I simply didn’t want others to see. Now I feel I have no dignity left.” To make a clean breast of it, those are soap suds … not the stud’s:

“Don’t you ever look in the mirror and think, ‘Bloody hell, I’m foxy?’ queried FHM. “No,” harrumphed Hazell. “I like my boobs, obviously {32F}, and my stomach because it’s toned (below left). Some people like my bum, but I don’t feel like I have the best ass in the world. I’d like to have a bigger one, but there’s not much you can do to make your bum bigger in the END” …
