Pearl jewelry
Pearls are considered to be organic gemstones formed inside the shells of marine and freshwater mollusks, unlike most other gemstones, which are mineral-based. This natural process makes them unique and delicate, with a hardness of 2.5–4.5 on the Mohs scale.
What are the different types of pearls?
Freshwater Pearls: Cultivated on freshwater pearl farms, these popular pearls have a wide range of shapes, sizes and colors. Though they are typically white, natural freshwater pearls can have a pink or lavender tone.
Akoya Pearls: Found in China, Vietnam, and Japan, these highly sought-after pearls are more lustrous, rounder and smoother than other types. They grow slowly in cold ocean waters, resulting in rare pearls of exceptional quality.
Tahitian Pearls: Cultivated in French Polynesia by special oysters, these pearls appear dark with metallic green, gray, blue, pink or lavender luster, making each pearl completely unique.
South Sea Pearls: Found in Australia, Myanmar, and Indonesia, these are the most valuable cultured pearls. Growing quite large (up to 20 mm), their shades range from white to honey gold, sometimes with pink, green, or blue hues.
How is the value of a pearl determined?
The value of pearls is based on factors such as shape (excluding baroque pearls), luster, surface smoothness, and size. Nature is not perfect, therefore no genuine pearl is perfectly round and smooth. The degree of imperfections determines the quality of a pearl. The luster and surface quality range from AAA to B, with AAA being the highest.
For each piece of pearl jewelry, we provide the pearl's approximate diameter in millimeters in the product details.
What are baroque pearls?
The term baroque pearl refers to both freshwater and saltwater pearls that are prized for their irregular shape. Highly sought after for their individuality and organic nature, baroque pearls are best suited for contemporary jewelry designs. No two pearls are ever the same, resulting in truly unique pieces for your collection.
How to care for pearl jewelry?
Pearls maintain their luster through regular contact with the natural oils from your skin, so wear them frequently. However, their delicate nature requires careful handling.
Avoid exposing pearls to cosmetics and chemicals such as perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions, as these can damage their surface. It’s important not to wear your pearl jewelry while showering, bathing, or swimming, as this can weaken the adhesive or string holding the pearls together.
Clean your jewelry using a soft, damp cloth with soapy water, ensuring you do not soak or fully submerge the pearls.
