Kamala Harris is breaking barriers as the first female U.S. vice president and many of her supporters have found a special way to celebrate her.

For the 2021 inauguration, women across the country are wearing pearls and Converse sneakers to symbolize Harris' historic moment alongside President-elect Joe Biden.

Harris was seen wearing her go-to Chuck Taylor shoes and pearls on the campaign trail.

Now, the world will see many others proudly wearing her statement look.

In the name of good taste, and visual abuse, stop with the cheap, tacky pearls. You are embarrassing yourselves or should be!
Yours truly
A Real pearl owner

And why would that be .?Because trumps wife wanted to flaunt herself in .the best that 95 %of American women could never afford.Probably the clothes that that trumps wife wore today cost more than Biden and Harris family wore today. Take away the makeup,and the fancy clothes what is Milana, just another women that has one point in her life that she took her clothes to make money. what will she look like when she gets Jill Biden's age?So what's the big deal with what women want to wear what harris wears ,Are you one of the rich bitchs that like to flaunt your stuff,that's most Americans women just dreams about.?So what is your problem?

Nary a single piece of my clothing is designer and is always purchased on sale, never full price.

I am blessed to have three family heirloom strands of pearls. Having said that, anyone with any sense of taste, can go into multiple retail establishments and find quite excellent imitation pearls for an inexpensive price tag.

It is not about flaunting. It is about the difference between tasteful and tacky.

I used to appraise jewelry, it was a bad moment whenever people brought their "heirloom" things to me. Many many of grandma or great grandma's pearls were fake, and perhaps the worst part was that they were lousy fakes to boot.

I had a tradition with my first wife, I bought her a different strand of pearls every year. I knew people who dealt in wholesale pearls, I'd buy the grade, color, and size I wanted and have them professionally strung with double knots excellent clasps. I usually kept it to about $1000 to $1500, but they appraised for over $10k.

Whenever someone would question my call that the heirlooms were imitation pearls, I'd show them how to clink a pearl on their front tooth, then get them a real one to show them the difference in sound.

A friend of mine that appraised diamonds did something I always thought was a bit rude, when someone got pissed off when he said their diamond was fake, he'd pick up his dremel with a carbide wheel used to cut gold, which disintegrates in a puff of dust when it hits a diamond, and he'd hit the fake diamond, which would grind a big cut in the "diamond". He'd say you're sure this is a diamond, they'd say yes, and he'd say then it wouldn't get trashed by a carbide wheel.

Funny story, my brother bought his wife a three carat "diamond" for an anniversary, they had been having financial and marital problems as a result of their financial problems. We were playing cards when my wife asked his what was with the rock, and she was holding it out for her to see. I asked if I could see it, meaning hand it to me, my brother about passed out. It was a piece of Park Lane fake CZ that costs about $150. I was looking and didn't say anything, my wife said let me see, and I said nice as I handed it to her, she glanced at it and handed it over to Carrie. My brother thanked me for not calling fake, and I asked him what the hell he was thinking passing off a cubic to his wife as the real thing?
