The Cherry Collection

This bold new color of Freshwater Pearls has quickly become our hottest new collection of Pearl Jewelry.  The Cherry Collection has become a “must have” for Pearl Girls who want to make a statement.  Featured in our new “Very Cherry!” ad, our ringed pearls are the clear favorite in this up and coming collection.  You can see all three pieces featured in this advertisement from the New York Times here or visit our collections page to see the entire cherry collection!

The Wildflowers Collection

Spring and Summer pastels are back with Honora’s new Wildflowers Collection!  This assortment of vibrant colors is L’array’s new take on our popular Multi-Pastel necklace that helped kick off the pearl color trend along side our Chocolate and Dark-Multi collections.  This selection is the perfect companion to your favorite summer dress, but still has strong enough colors to work year round.  Check out the baroque pearl necklace featured in our New York Times ad or view the entire Wildflowers Collection of Pearl Jewelry.

The Sunrise Collection

Rise and shine with L’array’s rich color combination of pearl colors including our new favorite, Cherry!  This selection of vivid colors will instantly remind you of the array pink, reds and oranges that we all associate with the rising sun.  We invite you to see the baroque pearl necklace featured in our New York Times Sunrise advertisement or you can view the entire Sunrise Collection here.

This evocative color collection of Cultured Pearls felt like the perfect way to start the new year.  Our Sr. Merchandising Manager, Larry Lippert, “L’array”, who creates our color combinations, had this to say, “Denim is center-stage in fashion again and I wanted to work with our newest blue tones to make a statement, even when dressing casually.”

We think you will love the 8-9 MM selection featured in our NY Times ad.  You can click here to see our entire selection of Blue Moon designs on our Collections Page.  These items are available now at our retail store on Madison Avenue and at your local authorized Honora dealer.
