Here are 5 Celebrated Women who swore by their pearls .

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II often seen adorning strands of pearl when making public appearances. Her love for pearls can also be said to have inherited from her mother Queen Elizabeth I who was known for her extravagant taste and her vast collection of pearl jewelry.
2. Coco Chanel
Famous French designer, one who bought radical changes in imitation jewelry, Coco Channel was known as a fashion icon in her times. She would often experiment with pearls. They say she would put in a rope of fake pearls between real one and wear them and no one would ever know that they are fake.
3. Princess Diana
Princess Diana was regarded as the most stylish woman of her times. Her jewelry and her dresses were talked about world over. She possessed a fine collection of jewelry of which pearls were an eminent part. This seven-strand pearl choker necklace with sapphire at center was made out of a brooch that Queen Elizabeth II gifted her on her wedding.
