For correct exegesis you need to contact a Pastor - but it seems to me that those verses distinguish between pearls and other items:
I Timothy 2:9c..not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array
and concerning HARLOTS:
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication
& if your cousin offers to show you what is in her hand DON'T LOOK
Don't worry, my cousin Macarena is no invite at this wedding - is a friend of me what marry and she don't really know Macarena except for the fornications she had whit her ex-boyfrinds what made her meet this new man of her dreams, so my harlot whore cousin won't be go at this one.

Thank sister Mitza, I'm apreciate all your advises always, like you know.....but....the problem I can see whit that verses is that pearls IS mentioned but no directly like sinfuls or abominations. Is the cup fill whit abominations in Revelation and the others only are mention in Timothy that we no wear pearls and 'costly array.
Would be OK if they was cheap imitation pearls - that way it aren't 'costly array'. Yes?
(And for the wedding - here in Spain there is ALWAYS swines around, but don't worry, I know very well how to disuade swines from be naughty....just ask my ex.)
Thanks for your coments sister,
YIC, Mari

Job 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Will there be swine (and having read about your cousin Macarena Ladrón de Guevara I think you know the sort of men I refer to) at this wedding?
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
NOTE there are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS mentioned here:
1 Pearls 2 Holy things
ergo Pearls are not Holy Things.
I Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array

I gave the late Mrs Naysayers a pearl necklace every year on her birthday and I see nothing wrong in it whatsoever. Does it not mention pearls in the bible, something something pearls before swine something something. Or maybe that was Shakespeare. Whatever.

What a story! My father says pearls are a great way to recognize sluts.
It is a slippery slope; once young women start taking the pearls they think they can do anything! Perhaps a bracelet might seem a nice thought - the advice in this thread tells us it is wrong however - and an ill-informed girl might accept one. Next would come the necklaces, and even pearl SHOES are available
No Christian woman would ever let her feet anywhere near such a gruesome pair!
The Dutch people even have a song about the awful decline which follows the acceptance of pearls. It could almost be their national anthem. It explains what happened to young Candy once she .. ..
Although tragic, Candy's life may serve as a warning to anyone currently windowshopping and tempted by what is displayed in the jeweller's window.

I think it would look nice on my healthy tan skin in summer in a bare shoulders dress when I was in a wedding party of my friend Maribel who get marry next month or something where a girl can dress nice.
YIC, Mari
Come round my gaff and I'll give you a pearly necklace to be proud of

When i was younger my mom came home from the bowling alley with some Jergens cream all over her collerbone. I asked her what that mess was for and she got all red and told me some man gave her a pearl necklance but it made her skin dry so she gave it back. She explained this as she rubbed the creamy lotion deep into herself while looking right at me so i'd see that it was just for medicinal purposes.
