This pearl bouquet is one example of a jewelry designer's creativity -- cultured pearls form a focal "flower" that's surrounded by glass "pearls" at the ends of stainless steel chains. On another bracelet, pearls and charms make their way around a leather strap. A third design is a silver cuff with a single pearl that mimics the center of a sunflower, and the fourth bracelet is actually a set of four -- stretchy strands of baroque pearls in pastel shades that can be worn together or singly.
