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.
