Pearl

Pearl is the most stylish of the gem names, back after a long sleep, as simple and lustrous as the jewel it’s derived from. Vermeer’s famous painting Girl with the Pearl Earring, subject of a bestselling novel and movie, may have helped propel the name back into stylishness. Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson named their little girl Pearl Bailey.
