Permaisuri of Perak Pearls
Her majesty the Raja Permaisuri of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, doesn’t seem to wear a lot of jewellery. Her regular day to day pieces are pretty much understated and practical.
But there is a pearl choker (pictured above) that seems to be a favourite of hers. All three strands of the choker are of the same size, consisting of what I can guess are 7mm-8mm pearl beads. The material of the clasp isn’t known, as I couldn’t find any pictures of it online.
This necklace is a personal piece of hers I think, and not from the Perak Royal Vault. She started wearing this beautiful piece circa 2016.
She has worn this strand a few times especially during education/school level events. Pearls are a practical solution to completing her look without going over the top at these particular functions. It seems that she usually reserves the tiaras and diamonds for official royal functions and events.
She has also worn the same style of pearl earrings with this choker (pictured below). They are these two sided earring styles that is a younger way of wearing the traditional pearl studs. Again, I feel that this is a style that doesn’t scream “queen” but it projects an easy going and approachable image especially to the younger generation.
