Who Wears Pearls?
Pearls are underrated, as many people have preconceived notions as to
what they represent. The two most common misconceptions are that
grandmas wear them and they are only worn on formal occasions. This is
no longer true. Pearls are worn by all ages in all colors and lengths.
They can be worn every day to the office or to the grocery store. They
can be paired with a suit, a dress or blue jeans. The journey a pearl goes through
to create a piece of jewelry is a miraculous event. Gemstones must be
cut and polished to bring out their beauty, but pearls need no such
treatment to reveal their loveliness.
Pearl Colors
You can wear any color of pearl, just as you can wear any color of
gemstone. You choose the color that you most enjoy. As you will notice,
some pearl colors will compliment your skin tone more than others. We
encourage you to come in and try on several strands in a variety of
colors. You will be surprised at how different each strand looks on you.
Everyone has a unique skin tone and there will be one color in
particular that will look exceptional on you. Pearls, because of their
iridescent luster, have no harsh tones. With our wonderful selection,
you will be sure to find the one that makes you shine!
Types of Pearls
If I asked a group of people to describe what comes to mind when they
think of a set of pearls, the majority of them would describe the
classic round, white strand. While this may describe the traditional
look of pearls, there are many more varieties and styles of pearls
available. Modern pearl culturing techniques have opened the door to new
colors, styles and shapes of pearls, which has brought a significant
appeal back to these lovely pieces of jewelry. A number of factors
impacts the way a pearl will look: everything from the type of oyster,
the location, and even the cleanliness of the water. While we can
classify pearls into different types, each pearl has its own unique
style, beauty and character.
