AP Fashion Writer, New York

The chunky – and sometimes colored – pearls that Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain have been wearing on the campaign trail are not your grandmother’s pearls. They are trendy pearls and styles that are still selling strong even in this economic downturn, according to pearl jeweler Tara.

It wouldn’t be uncommon for a necklace with rare pearls to cost upward of $100,000.
