Imperial Tahitian black pearl rope necklaces, $5,200 to $6,500. “They’re 38 inches long, so you can double them or even triple them up,” says Jackie Ullmer, a store manager. “They feel new and fresh – unlike your typical strand. And can be dressed up or down, or worn as a belt or knotted.”

Lariat-style leather-and-freshwater pearl necklaces from Rio Grande and Stuller, $80 to $100. “They have a great price point, and they’re something you can wear that’s not too dressy, which women like,” says John Strasbaugh, store owner.
