If you’re a special events brand...

Help people plan a pearl-themed party. Offer up pearl-inspired wedding invites, table settings and balloons—and don’t forget faux pearl beaded necklaces as party favors.

If you’re a home brand...

Help your audience bring understated luxury to a remodel with pearl floor tiles or sateen-finished pearl-toned wall paint. Or for a more accessible everyday touch, promote mother of pearl photo frames, pearl-embellished serving trays and beaded decor pillows.
