Gemstones is vanity, diamonds is sanity, and pearls is reality

Pearl jewellery catches attention because of its uncomplicated and serene elegance. It may seem like an oxymoron, but sometimes the simplest things are the ones that are the most attractive. A look at a simple pearl studs is enough to dispel all doubt.

In fact, for many kinds of pearl jewellery, the basic principle is "the simpler the better." At times a single pearl can even say much more than a dozen pearls all lined up. This is why some consider pearl jewellery to be even more beautiful than diamond, more valuable and timeless.

Audrey Hepburn wore such simple pearl jewellery in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"? , and yet they made her face shine. Pearl jewellery bring glamour to a woman's face, catch the light and trap it in to create a very suffused glow.

Due to its timeless elegance, pearl jewellery never falls out of fashion and can be worn with almost anything.

Like natural pearls, cultured pearls grow inside of a mollusk, but with human intervention and always sold by their size in millimeters. Pearls come in eight basic shapes: round, semi-round, button, drop, pear, oval, baroque, and circled.   Pearls with the smoothest surfaces are the highest-quality, most sought-after pearls.

Regarding buying pearl jewellery, you need to know the following: almost all pearls used for jewelry are cultured by planting a core or nucleus into pearl oysters.  Abalone from along the Pacific Coast, primarily California, produce both blister and free pearls and their shells are used for inlay in jewelry and other items.

Pearl jewellery is a great gift and safe bet for most people, since it will never look out of fashion and ideal for gifts and for that special and romantic occasions.
