What to Know About Pearl Jewelry

Pearls are a miracle of nature. When intruders enter the tissues of a mollusk, it coats them with natural proteins and a variety of minerals. These are referred to as Nacre. This is what creates a beautiful round design with a shimmer. Natural pearls can be found in the wild, but most modern cultured pearls, and the pearl jewelry made from it, start with oyster farmers, who recreate this natural phenomenon. Pearl jewelry has been popular since ancient Greece, so there is no denying the history behind pearls, but many modern twists on the classic including pearl diamond ring designs and even pearl wedding rings are now popular.

How To Choose the Ideal Pearls

The following steps are vital considerations when you are trying to find the ideal cultured pearl jewelry for you or a loved one.

Right pearl type

There are a number of pearl jewelry types sourced in different sea types. Freshwater cultured pearls are far more common than any other type of pearls.

• Akoya cultured pearls are saltwater pearl, a lot of these are sourced in Asia. They have a great luster to them, and work well with elegant designs. Akoya pearls will give a classical look for your special occasion and go well with a timeless outfit.
• Naturally-occurring pearls from Tahiti can be more colorful, with a beautiful exotic look for an akoya pearl necklace and drop earring set or other pearl jewelry. These can provide more of a modern look and make a real statement.
• South Sea pearl is also common, and is even have its own hues, providing a more golden pearl color.

Right size

Most real pearls in jewelry range from 2mm in size to 11mm or even bigger, 6-8mm is common for pearl earrings, but 9mm can be found in some jewelry. The size you go for depends on how much of a statement you are looking to make during your special occasion.

Set your budget

Fortunately, most cultured pearl jewelry is not hugely expensive compared to diamonds or other gemstones. However, if you want to get a diamond and pearl ring, for example, you might have to part with more money. You can even get beautiful pearl engagement rings.

Advantages of getting pearl engagement rings

Pearl engagement and wedding rings are growing in popularity. There are some key factors making people value the classic charm of pearl engagement rings  in their modern resurgence.

Unique

Most people still opt for other gemstones, so if you go for natural pearl engagement rings, you are likely to have an elegant and unique talking point for your ring. Some of the modern designs use real pearl in interesting and beautiful new ways.

More affordable

Though pearls have a beautiful look to them, they are more affordable than the majority of other gemstones and a big saving over buying diamond rings, for instance. If you are looking for an engagement ring that doesn’t cost too much but still has a big and elegant stone then white gold pearl engagement rings are the ideal option.

Natural beauty

Those who want this special relationship with nature to be on show on their wedding day, and the rest of their life, may opt for natural pearl engagement rings. Pearls are the only gemstone you can buy that are grown within a living creature. This unique and untainted natural feel might be exactly what you’re going for, so don't hesitate to get your pearl engagement rings.

Match pearl rings with your outfit

Pearl rings may have a classic feel to them, but they are incredibly versatile.

• Dressing up. Because they are such a graceful stone, a lot of people match them up with classy attire including formal cocktail dresses or evening wear. This is probably seen as the classic way to wear pear jewelry. They’re certainly good for dressing up.
• Dressing down. Perfect pearls can also be dressed down somewhat. Though you might not want to wear them with jeans, you can find that pearl rings look great with your office attire, for example. A beautiful blouse or a nice pantsuit with pearl rings, necklaces or a pearl pendant can look beautiful and elegant. Because of the fact that a pearl is not overstated, they can be matched with a variety of outfits.
• Match size and length. Other pearl jewelry needs to be matched with outfits, too. For instance, most pearl necklaces are 18-inches at the “princess” length. This means they cover most collar bones. This should be considered with the neckline of your clothing.

Caring for your pearl jewelry

Whether it’s a pearl necklace, diamond ring or a pearl engagement ring, you need to take good care of your pearl jewelry.

• Keep them away from other jewelry that might scratch the delicate surface of your pearls. For example, in their own pouch.
• Wear them regularly. Did you know that the oils from your skin actually benefit the pearls and improve their quality?
• Don’t store your beautiful pearls in airtight containers. They benefit from moisture, so this means that an airtight container such as a zip lock bag is a pearl’s worst enemy.
• Never let your perfect pearls come into contact with water which has chlorine in it. This will damage the epoxy which keeps your pearls in place on the ring or mounted elsewhere.

As you can see, pearl rings and other pearl jewelry is quite unique when it comes to storage, and very different to diamonds, for example. Pearls are versatile, unique, and can be absolutely stunning. Our range of designer pearl engagement rings and other pearl jewelry gives you the chance to express yourself. These pearls can form part of your everyday outfits, or they can be saved for dressing up on special occasions. The beauty of nature can be worn with most outfits.
