Did Napier use real pearls?
No, Napier typically didn't use real pearls. The American jewelry maker usually adorned its necklaces, earrings, pins, bracelets and rings with artificial pearls made of plastic and other materials. During the 1980s, Napier became especially well-known for its line of faux pearl pieces. On 1stDibs, find a range of Napier jewelry.
