Pearls have been regarded as one of the most valuable gem materials. They have been used for adornment for 6000 years. There is little difference
between the cultured and natural pearls. The derivation of the name is uncertain but maybe from a type of shell (Latin-Perna) or from its spherical
shape (Latin-Sphaerula).
Pearls are produced by molluscs, rarely by snails. They consists of mother-of-pearl, which is mainly calcium carbonite
(in the form of aragonite), and an organic horn substance (conchiolin) which are formed concentrically around microcrystals.
This gem, a gift of the sea, has a myth and lore dating back to the beginning of time. A Hebrew legend says that pearls were
the tears of Eve after being banished from the Garden of Eden. In America, it has been a long held tradition that a bride
receives a strand of pearls or
pearl jewelry as a bride's gift to wear on her wedding day.
There are different types of pearls such as cultured pearls, Akoya oysters, South Sea, Tahitian, and fresh water pearls.
You can learn more about each type of pearl in our
pearl education section. Each of them have different characteristics
and used in jewelry differently.
Proper care of pearls is very important and they have some special characteristics. The porosity of pearls are what enables
them to be dyed. Never put pearls in an ultrasonic cleaner, water, soapy solutions or jewelry cleaner. Chemicals can also
be absorbed into the nacre causing discoloration.

Customer Service and we would be happy to assist you the best way possible.
