Quality Cultured Pearl Jewelry

Necklaces are great in adding style to a woman’s wardrobe. Necklaces are any type of chain or length that is made of precious metal or gems. Some either use a single pearl; others are made of strands of pearls. Pearl strands are great in displaying a classy look.

Pearl, is the birthstone of June; a hard, roundish object produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk. Most of the pearls available today are cultured. The culturing of pearls is made by implanting a tiny bead into the oyster and then gradually through time, the oyster will coat the bead in many layers of natural mineral and proteins. The layers, which are also known as nacre, give the pearls their beautiful luster and color. Nacreous pearls are produced by two groups of molluscan bivalves or clams. The first group is the pearl oysters and the other is the river mussels.

Pearls are widely used today in jewelries. The value of pearl jewelries is determined by the quality of pearls as to luster, color, size, flawlessness and symmetry. A large, perfectly round pearl is rare and are highly-valued. Cultured pearl necklaces have gained popularity because of the increase in the quality of pearls. Having been cultured, pearls have improved its appeal in being used in the display of beauty and elegance through jewelry.

Natural pearls are rare, hard to find; thus, most pearls used are cultured – made to be of better quality. Almost all jewelries made of strands of pearls are composed of cultured pearls actually. Cultured pearl necklaces are available in different types which are named based on their length, and how they are worn. These cultured pearl necklaces are either single-strand or multi-strand and are of various lengths. Different sizes of pearls are utilized in these types of necklaces to achieve a better appeal, pleasant design and elegance.
