Pearls for the Holiday?

So, what are you expecting in your stocking this coming holiday season? What about pearls? Maybe? Or maybe not?

According to Premium Pearls.com, the holiday season is when many men like to give their sepecial someone some special pearl jewelry:

This holiday season, another interesting jewelry-related trend will also be at work: More men than women are expected to buy jewelry online as a holiday gift, according to Yan Berry, founder and owner of PremiumPearl.com. "From our order database, more than 70 percent of our customers are men," Berry said. "At Christmas seasons in the last few years, we have seen a large percentage of orders coming from men buying jewelry for their wives, daughters and mothers."

Berry's experience is consistent with America Online's research regarding the buying habits of male online shoppers. Men tend to spend more than women online, especially during the holiday season, according to AOL.

This does make some sense I guess since holiday time is a major jewelry gift giving time of the year. And, who doesn't love pearls? Here are some pieces they call their best sellers. I really like this double strand bracelet and the pendant is pretty unusual as well.
