A stylish and luminous talk by Helen Tobias
Pearls never truly go out of fashion – and there’s a size, shade, and style to suit every woman. In fact, most of us have a string tucked away somewhere, waiting to be worn again!
“Pearls and Princesses” is one of Helen Tobias’s most popular original talks – described by one delighted audience member as “the best talk I’ve heard in ages… perhaps ever.”
In this beautifully presented session, Helen shares the fascinating world of pearls:
how they’re formed and what gives them their timeless appeal
tips on care, storage, and styling for different necklines
what to look for when buying pearls
and, of course, the royal connection – with charming stories of how Princesses past and present have worn them with elegance and flair.
With a touch of history, practical advice, and engaging anecdotes, this 50-minute talk is supported by striking visuals and concludes with a touching personal story that never fails to captivate.
Perfect for WI groups, ladies’ lunches, and style-loving audiences – this is a talk that truly glows with charm and insight.
