It may not be expected, but in 1989, at George H.W. Bush's inaugural ball, fake pearls were worn along with a pair of shoes priced at only $29. Multiple photographs were taken of this individual wearing the counterfeit pearl necklace, and to this day, the pearls crafted by Kenneth Jay Lane (specifically for Barbara) can still be found with a price tag of only $150.
