Just Ask Leslie: Jewelry Tips

Dear Leslie,
What are baroque pearls? I think “baroque” and I think gaudy taste in interior design.
Carey in Knoxville

While Baroque style in art used exaggerated motion and detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur, Baroque pearls are far from “gaudy.”

The term is used to signify pearls which are not round in shape. Because of the irregularity of shape, Baroque pearls offer a unique appeal for those seeking a twist of individuality to a classic necklace.
