Big New Releases at Styles of edo! Pearls and Gowns

This weekend, Styles of edo has decided to release a new gown called Swanilda, which is a long gown version of Coppelia and also their very first pearl jewelry, the Akoya Pearl Series. I will post about the Swanilda release in a separate post.

If you know anything about pearls, you should be excited! The Akoya Pearls were natural pearls (non-cultured) that existed in the early 1900's that are no longer produced or available except as antique pearl jewelry. A real Akoya Pearl triple strand can cost something like US$50,000 or more and are true luxuries which you will be lucky enough if you found a good one on sale. Well, this is Second Life! Make your jewelry dream come true!

edo has launched 4 necklace types, single strand, long single strand, double strand and triple strand together with 2 types of earrings, studded pearl earrings and drop type earrings. Note the creamy pinkish colour of the pearls. Pink pearls are the most expensive pearls you can get as it is not easy to match up the colours of pearls to make a whole necklace or any piece of jewelry with pink coloured pearls. The pearl jewelry that just came out from Styles of edo are all pinkish and creamy that comes from aging.

The backside of the necklaces are also made to first class quality with a detailed necklace buckle as you can see from a picture I have taken below.

You might be wondering if edo Tone is now making jewelry. Well, not really. The idea and concept of these pearl jewelry came from edo Tone while the actual creation was done by the Chrissy Ambrose, designer and creator of jewelry who owns Virtual Impressions. This explains the quality of the pieces. So let me show you what these two have come up with as a collaborative work.
