clutch the pearls

When Mrs. Barron heard the death toll...she put her hand to her throat to clutch the pearls around her neck.

Clutched my pearls 

To place your hand on your collar or around your neck in a prudish way as to display shock or disgust towards someone or something.

That comedian was so vulgar that I clutched my pearls during the entire show.
