It's almost impossible to separate pearls from sentiment. Youth passes, friendships fade, love dies, but ask a woman about her pearls, and here comes the emotion.

Last month I wrote about a local woman who was able to have her mother's precious pearls restrung shortly before her mother's death. A family friend saved the day, stringing the pearls in the back seat of his car in a parking lot.

Like many other women, the dying woman had worn her pearls for special occasions. Her heart was not on her sleeve; it was gracefully draped around her neck.
