<![CDATA[<p><img alt="S22.jpg" src="http://www.maipearls.co.uk/blog/archives/S22.jpg" width="100" height="100" />  Vogue suggests that we "rediscover the power of head-to-toe white.  Flawlessly chic - this is pure, unadulterated style.  Granted, white is a perennial summer favourite, but if this classic non-colour doesn't at first excite, then find comfort in the fact that this season's fun is to be had with shape, form and fabric.  Spring's white parade comprises prairie styles, architectural shifts and sweet macrame slips, in addition to a host of slouchy tailoring.  In addition, the collections usher in a whole new wave of shirt dressing, from frilled and flamboyant to stiff and starched."  Why not complete your white look with accessories such as these gorgous <a href="http://www.maipearls.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41&products_id=97">white pearl stud earrings</a>, starting from just £11.99.<br />

<![CDATA[<p>I recently read that on Wednesday 9th December, Bonhams Bond Street hosted 'The Art of Jewels: Fine Jewellery and Iconic Gems' sale.  One of the major highlights of the sale was a stunning pearl necklace, belonging to Lady Houston, the renowned philanthropist and benefactor.<br />
The double-row necklace with graduated pearls had an estimated price of £30,000 to £50,000, but sold for an impressive value of £311,200.  It is made up of large natural pearls of outstanding quality, between 5.8 and 12.8mm.  Interestingly, their erstwhile owner, Lady Houston, donated a considerable amount of her personal fortune in support of British aviation, which would eventually lead to the design of the Spitfire, an integral part of our national defence during WW2.</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p><img alt="Ake Wuge.JPG" src="http://www.maipearls.co.uk/blog/archives/Ake Wuge.JPG" width="147" height="221" /> Ake Wuge is just one of the 6 children from the Sichuan province, China that Mai Pearls have been able to sponsor to go to school this acedemic year.  Her parents have very little money and not enough for Wuge's school books and education.  Wu ge literally means "Fifth one" so she more than likely has many brothers and sisters which is possible only in China if you are a peasant working in the countryside areas.  Otherwise citizens of mainland China stick to the one child policy that dominates the structure of modern Chinese families.  By supporting Mai Pearls and in turn <a href="http://www.obchina.org/">Operation Blessing's</a> Education Program, we can show that the west does care about these small forgotten and voiceless children which gives them not only an education and hope for a better future but also a sense of self worth.  Thank you for your support.<br />
