She was joined at the event, held at the East Valley Shelter in Van Nuys, by her mother Nancy, sister Meg and the executive director of the Foundation, Kathy Davis. The Pets To Patriots program honors and enhances the lives of our veterans with companion animals in recognition and celebration of their service, while simultaneously seeking to serve animal shelters and the homeless cats and dogs who are in need of forever homes.


The Heigl Foundation has provided the Los Angeles Animal Alliance with a grant of a $30,000 to fund the Pets To Patriots initative, which is dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Commander Frederick John Debus. "It is a small token of our appreciation to the legion of heroes who have given so much," Katherine explained. Pets To Patriots is a key component of the Fall 5000, an unprecedented adoption campaign that spans 5 counties and 20 shelters with the goal of finding forever homes for 5000 animals during the month of November.

Elizabeth Taylor's La Peregrina Pearl Necklace

Not every woman in the world is as lucky as Elizabeth Taylor who was showered with gifts that were super bright and sparkly. One of the many glamourous gifts that Liz Taylor received was the La Peregina Pearl Necklace, given by Richard Burton. A Valentine's Day present from Burton in 1969 was the 50 carat La Peregrina Pearl that was once owned by Queen Mary I of England.

La Peregrina is a 50 carat pear-shaped pearl found in the early 1500's by a slave in the Gulf of Panama. Philip II of Royal Spanish Court gave it to Mary Tudor (Mary I of England) as an engagement present. After Mary's death it was worn by several Spanish queen consorts until Napoleon made his brother king of Spain in 1808. Joseph Bonaparte took the pearl with him when he was forced to leave the country and thus it received its name: La Peregrina, or "The Pilgrim", or "The Wanderer". The pearl was sold off to the aristocratic Abercorn family who held onto it until they auctioned it in 1969 and Richard Burton bought it for Elizabeth Taylor in 1969. Cartier designed the diamond, ruby and pearl necklace setting that houses La Peregrina today.

The pearl necklace together with 260 plus pieces of jewellery that Elizabeth Taylor owned will be put up for auction by Christie's this December. All proceeds will be donated to the AIDS Foundation founded by Elizabeth Taylor.

The Advantages of Freshwater Pearls

Pearls are the traditional gemstones worn at weddings. This is mainly because of their associations with purity and romance. However, technology has advanced to the point that faux pearls can look rather similar to authentic pearls even though it is possible to tell the two apart. Here are some of the advantages of freshwater pearls – the most common type of authentic pearl - have over fake pearls.

Freshwater pearls are the most affordable type of pearl and are great for those who have budget that they must stick to. This is primarily due to the achievements of Japanese oyster and mussel farmers in the early 1900s figuring out how to implant the irritant that causes an oyster to create pearls and start mass production.

Freshwater pearls also come in a wide range of sizes, which are great for those who would like a complete pearl jewelry collection including earrings, necklaces and bracelets. It is possible to find pearls that are small enough to go on a pair of earrings, such as those in the 4 millimeter range, as well as larger pearls as large as 10 to 12 millimeters that are perfect for bracelets and necklaces. The smaller pearls are great if you would like a pair of earrings or a pendant that also features a diamond or two.

Freshwater pearls come in a wide range of shapes and colors in addition to the standard round shape commonly found in jewelry stores. It is possible to find freshwater pearls that are oval or teardrop-shaped, both of which great for those who would like a necklace that features non-traditional pearls. In addition to this, these pearls come in the same colors that saltwater pearls do, from the popular white to black and nearly every other color in between including pink, gold and green.
