In her classic guide, A Southern Belle Primer, Dallas author Maryln Schwartz wrote: “My dear, this is something you must always remember. Your bosom can be fake. Your smile can be fake and your hair color can be fake. But your pearls and your silver must always be real.”

For a Southern woman, or anyone with a refined spirit, no truer words were ever spoken.

“Your bosom can be fake. Your smile can be fake and your hair color can be fake. But your pearls and your silver must always be real.”

Cartier recognizes the power of the pearl in the new Trinity collection, named for the three intertwined bands made of white gold (for friendship), pink gold (for love) and yellow gold (for fidelity). The famed French jeweler has incorporated into the collection freshwater pearls in shades of white, grey, violet and orange as well as blonde pearls from the South Seas and the rare gold pearl from Australia.

Rather than showcase strands of pearls, the jeweler incorporates them into lighter-than-air chains, tassels, rings and dangling earrings. “Rings coil inwards, bracelets form chains of purity, pendants shimmer in sheer clusters and pearls bloom into petals, forming flowers on the Trinity ring,” according to a Cartier description.

An outdoor watch party for USA vs. Turkey will take place in Cedar Hill.

Cedar Hill is officially in the game. The suburb southwest of downtown Dallas will host a free public watch party for a FIFA World Cup match featuring the U.S. Men's National Team.

According to a release, Visit Cedar Hill will turn Signature Park into a soccer fan zone for a free outdoor viewing of the USA vs. Türkiye match on Thursday, June 25. The event will include food trucks, music, giveaways, and a big-screen broadcast of the game.

The party will run from 5-10:30 pm at Signature Park, located at 450 Pioneer Trail. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 pm.

The Türkiye match will be the third and final game in the group stage for Team USA and will be played at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium.

Leading up to the match, attendees in Cedar Hill can enjoy a live DJ set by Chasquis Records and food trucks from Food Truck League from 5-9 pm. Free popcorn and giveaways will be available throughout the evening, and beer and wine will be available for purchase from Mudhook from 6-9:30 pm.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for the outdoor viewing.

“Soccer has a way of bringing people together, and we’re excited to turn that energy into a summer night that draws visitors, supports local businesses, and showcases the spirit of Cedar Hill,” said Michelle Ebanks, destination manager for Visit Cedar Hill, in the release.

The Cedar Hill watch party is part of a big slate

World Cup festivities planned across North Texas. Arlington's AT&T Stadium, dubbed "Dallas Stadium" for the tournament, will host nine World Cup matches, while a FIFA Fan Fest will take place at Dallas' Fair Park and watch parties will take place in bars, parks, and other venues across Dallas-Fort Worth.
