Kamala Harris' pearl legacy: Candidate preps for crucial debate

After stepping in to replace Joe Biden for the presidential election, Kamala Harris is being scrutinized in detail by the media. This time, local portals report that she has a distinctive feature: a pearl necklace she never parts with. It holds special value for the current Vice President, allowing her to reminisce.

Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, has entered the presidential race in the upcoming election. She replaced Joe Biden in this fight. Her campaign is gaining momentum, and everyone is wondering if the former prosecutor will be able to defeat Donald Trump. The first debate between the candidates, set to take place on the night of September 10 to 11 (Eastern Time), is a flashpoint that might decide the fate of the election. Remember that the elections will take place on November 5.

Kamala Harris is 60 years old and has been associated with California for years, working as a prosecutor at various levels. She was born in Oakland, California, to a family of immigrants from Jamaica and India.

Many U.S. citizens are still relatively unaware of the American vice president. The media scrutinizes her wealth and fashion style. The 60-year-old's signature is her pearl necklaces. Joe Biden’s deputy wears this jewelry at almost every meeting, and this unique accessory can be seen in many photos published on social media, including those by herself.

According to the media, the pearls are a tribute to the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority—the first African American sorority at Howard University. Harris belonged to this group of students, called the "Twenty Pearls." This group aimed to train young women to become leaders in the future.

One of her necklaces, designed by American artist Irene Neuwirth, is valued at $11,000. Kamala Harris can afford such expenses as she earns $350,000 annually as the Vice President of the USA, and her financial statement indicates that she accumulated nearly half a million dollars last year.
