My boyfriend and me have been going out for a few weeks now and he keeps promising to give me a pearl necklace at the weekend, but he has yet to come round with one. I love my jewellery and have told him that I would prefer some earrings or a bracelet but he is insistant on a necklace made of pearl.How can I hint that I would prefer earrings or a bracelent or really anything modern!! without hurting his feelings, I can see that for some reason he thinks I would love a pearl necklace but to me it's more like something my nanna would ware!

Giving yourself away as a hoax questioner. I won't tell you yet how I know, but suffice to say I have got onto you and this could be considered funny if this wasn't a place were people do come for serious advice.

 I would have a chat to your boyfriend to make sure the two of you are on the same page. "pearl necklace" does have two meanings and you may be setting yourself up for a shock.
He may be thinking of the "other" meaning which has been described by the previous posts and that is why he is so set on it and why he keeps on telling you about it.
If he is talking jewellery, I would suggest you tell him how you would love some new earings or suggest you go window shopping and show him your style.
But at the end of the day, if he really wants to give you jewellery, lucky girl. Enjoy it! but somehow I think the sexual meaning is what he really means.
Let us know.

 Hi, Were you aware that a "pearl necklace" can also mean him cumming on your chest??? You sure he doesnt mean this??

 In my view, you should be grateful for whatever he gives you, however you have been dating for a few weeks, i.e. days and that is hardly a long enough time for your fella to know what floats your boat and what rocks it. If for example the two of you stay together for a few years, if he is a good boyfriend he will know what things you like and dont like, but my word, you have been dating for such a short time, just be glad he is even buying you anything at this very early stage. xXx

 Oh sweet-heart, you sound like an innocent little geordie angel who would, in all honesty be better off with a pair of bandy ear-rings than a pearl necklace. You're certainly correct that they are old-fashioned nowadays in fact the last person I remember seeing with a pearl necklace was the Queen Elizabeth -- and quite fetching it looked to -- the pearls were practically dripping from her neck.
One time long ago, I remember getting loaded on a Friday night, staggering home from the local inn and deciding, on a whim (no less) that later on I would delight my then girlfriend by giving her a wonderful pearl necklace. I imagined she would have been ecstatic, but I can tell you from the look on her face as I gave it to her, that I should have thought twice. Such is life, sometimes.
My best advice is to tell your nanna that your boyfriend has offered to give you a pearl necklace, and that maybe she would like it instead? In fact, you could suggest that to your boyfriend that they are a little out of date and that perhaps he should give your gran a pearl necklace (maybe for her birthday or christmas) and get you something rather more trendy.
Best of luck dearie.... and do keep us updated
