Pearls possess a long standing role in bridal fashion, as pearl necklaces and matching earrings represent traditional wedding jewelry. Legendary brides that celebrated their day with pearl jewelry include Jacqueline Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Grace Kelly.
Gloria Vanderbilt, seen above, was only seventeen when she married Pasquale DiCicco, an actor's agent. She was, of course, wearing some of the pearls her family was famous for.
