Pearl Jewelry

The Beauty of Pearl Jewelry:

Pearls have throughout history, been considered as one of the most desirable and valued gemstones. Organic in nature having developed within the sea mollusc, such as oysters, they are also found in fresh water as well as in Pearl Farms for the Cultured Pearl Industry.

They have been used for over 6000 years with a very large trade in China and are valued not only by their shape, but by their size and luster. This is an important point because Pearls do not require any processing, being formed complete and natural. It is simply left to the trade to decide the best way to display their beauty, be it in rings, brooches, pendants or the more usual - as strings of pearls.

When looking at pearls to buy, the purchaser should be aware that the term 'Pearls' should ONLY by used for Natural Pearls. Cultured Pearls, while still grown naturally  and organically, are INSTIGATED or started by the insersion of a bead, around which the CULTURED Pearl will grow.

While there is - on the face of it - little to distinguish the Natural to the Cultured Pearl, the price variance is quite staggering. This also applies to the various grades of cultured pearls as well.
