Pearls – Learn About Them And Love Them
There are many different colours and types of pearls on the market today that even pearl connoisseurs get a little confused! Those that want to buy pearl earrings just don’t know where to start. For those interested in buying pearls, or for gem enthusiasts who wish to learn more, here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about pearls.
Can You Buy Various Colours Of Tahitian Pearls?
This might surprise some, but Tahitian pearls aren’t grown in Tahiti and they’re also not black. Called “black” because of their exotic dark colours, Tahitian cultured pearls can also be grey, blue, green and brown. This type of pearl comes from a group of islands known as the French Polynesian range.
What’s The Difference Between Cultured Pearl Earrings And Natural Pearl Earrings?
To start with, natural pearls are formed when a foreign object gets into an oyster. The oyster or mollusc tries to protect itself and to do this it coats the intruder in a substance which then creates the mother of pearl. Over time, the layers of nacre build up around the intruder and eventually form the organic gem we all know as the pearl.
When it comes to cultured pearls, they are formed in the same way, but with man’s input rather than nature’s. A technician will place the irritant in the oyster and then place it back into the water. The outcome is some beautiful pearls, which make their way into the shops so you can buy pearl earrings.
Should I Buy Saltwater Or Freshwater Pearls?
Many people would say that the quality of cultured freshwater pearls are better value than the saltwater versions. Over the years, improved pearl culturing processes have meant that freshwater pearls are now being produced that are large, rounded and stunningly beautiful.
Freshwater cultured pearls come in many beautiful natural pastel colours including cream, white, yellow, orange, pink and lavender. One of the most popular pearl options at the moment is lavender. For others, it is the appeal of white pearls which makes them purchase. Bold black pearls are actually treated with dye to produce their colour, and yet these remain a very popular choice for jewellery buyers.
At the end of the day, it is freshwater pearls that appeal most, and the fact they are more affordable helps make them a number 1 choice. So, for all the pearl fans out there, there has never been a better time to buy pearl earrings.
