Kamala Harris made record as the very first black vice president of the United States belonging to South Asian lineage. At the 59th inaugural ceremony, she hogged the limelight in a purple dress and matching coat which was accessorized to perfection by a Wilfredo Rosado pearl neckpiece. This striking piece of jewelery was specially made for Kamala Harris as a tribute to this momentous occasion. It featured a gold chain linking 12 South Sea pearls and 11 diamond brilliants wherein each segment holds a special significance. While diamonds hiked up the glamor quotient of the occasion, pearls stood as a symbol of resilience and femininity and the gold chain symbolized strength.
The pearls also held a special significance for madam Vice President as it paid reverence to her Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority which is the foremost African-American sorority in US. Founders of this sorority are commonly referred to as the ‘Twenty Pearls.’ If you have been following the various appearances of the US Vice President till date, then you must have understood her special affinity towards pearls which have been her constant ally at important occasions ranging from her graduation days.
The collection launch by The Pearl Source marks the onset of International Women’s Day which is celebrated on the 8th of March and the Women’s History Month. This year, #ChooseToChallenge is the inspiration for Women’s Day based on the belief that you can only change the world by challenging its old practices and alerting the masses about how things should actually be. Pearls have served as a sign of resilience, beauty, female empowerment and career mobility.
According to Leon Rbibo, the president of The Pearl Source, Power Pearls strives to draw awareness towards the powerful female figures who have inspired other ladies to break out of societal shackles. However, their contribution often fails to find the limelight amidst all the gender bias which plagues our society. The Power Pearls collection strives to end this differential treatment so that women achievers in the fields of politics, business and even sports can get what they deserve.
Pearls have historically been linked to women’s empowerment across the globe. Very recently celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hanks wore vintage pearl pins on the red carpet for showing their support towards the women’s rights movement. As Kamala Harris took her vows on Inauguration Day, countless women across the globe wore pearls in solidarity and as a symbol of sisterhood. Various Facebook groups were also created for garnering more support towards this cause and create history as women of diverse origins came together to celebrate the 49th Vice President of USA.
