"String of Pearls" is the debut studio album by Australia rock singer-songwriter and guitarist, Deborah Conway. The album was released in October 1991 and peaked at number 20 on the Australian ARIA Charts.
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1992, the album received nominated for four awards; ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist – Album, ARIA Award for Album of the Year, ARIA Award for Best Cover Art and ARIA Award for Best Female Artist. It won Best Female artist .
In June 2015, Conway celebrated the 25th anniversary of the album by performing the entire album in Melbourne.
Jonathan Lewis from AllMusic said “’’String of Pearls’’ ranges from the melodic pop of the most successful single "It's Only the Beginning" to the rock of "Under My Skin." Much of the rest of the album is acoustic pop and gentle ballads, with the superb "Release Me" being the best example. Conway's voice is what holds the album together. Her voice is strong and suited to these songs. In the hands of a lesser singer String of Pearls would not have been anywhere near as effective. Instead, Conway manages to cover the slight lack of originality in songwriting by her strong presence and produces a memorable set of songs.
