 A pearl is the
sacred gem in the East while the western vision of the pearl is in regards to
it value of a jewelry. Pearl jewelry items have always been something that evokes
admiration and joy, especially when presented by beloved people. When the gift is
chosen thoroughly to provide longer excitement with pears it is more
appreciated. By the way, there is no single system of pearls certification
since only artificial pearls are custom-made.
When you opt
for the pearl jewelry three criteria should be considered, namely the quality
of the material, price and design of the item, consequently. Though, the design
and style of the pearl jewelry is considered far more than others as the
priority condition when purchasing jewelry. And the quality is the last provision to think.
How to
define the quality of pearls
The real pearl
can be purchased at specialized jewelry stores or at the manufacturers of
pearls and pearl jewelry. A vendor at the market can hardly show the authentic
quality of the material. However, there is an approach to verify the quality.
You can scratch the surface of a pearl ball with a knife blade or a pin and you
see the trace of the split off nacre on the pearl imitation or a lighter stroke
in case of red or black pearl fake, since color gems are used to make them.
There are two
kinds of pearls, namely natural and fake, that is a regular plastic, semiprecious
stone or any other composition of components usually used in bijouterie manufacture.
Natural pearl come as cultivated, from river and sea. Natural pearl that come from
free shellfish where the nacre ball form without any human help are rare and
extremely expensive, they are not marketed for free sale and they are usually
collected.
Today pearl
jewelry is made from cultivated sea or river pearls. The opinion is erroneous
that tells that cultivated pearl stands for artificial. Sea and river shellfish
also bear cultivated pearls though under the through supervision at specially
arranged farms.
Once you
favor for the sea or river pearl, there are some features to take into
consideration.The color
gamut of pearls is quite varied. Apart from classic white, black and pink color
there are free green, blue and even chocolate shades of pearls. 120 shades are known
in total. Known are natural colors and artificial, that is painted, though the
quality of pearls is not disturbed but improved. The choice of shade relies on personal
preferences. There are some details to follow in regards to tint solution for
jewelry. So, white, pink or creamy shades are more preferred for brides. There is
also undercover discrimination for summer and winter kinds of pearls with green
and blue colors for the warmer season and white and silver for winter time. The
variety of color gamut was presented by the reputed pearl jeweler Mikimoto. Winter
motifs are clearly seen in collections by Lace and Frost. Rings, pendants and
earrings are made from the white noble metal shaped as the laced snowflakes crowned
with white large pearls. White diamonds imitate theicy
spangles and frozen ice. Summer collections by Olive and Ocean are presented in
the shades of young olive and azure drops and clearly repeats the branches with
olives with diamond leaves and the ocean wave with the foamy crest.
The
intensity of nacre luster is especially significant when choosing the quality
pearl. When examining the jewelry in the daylight or at the lighter background
which is an absolute provision when buying the pearls, the evenness and depth
of the luster can be determined.
The quality
of the smooth surface and the thickness of the nacre are easily determined. The
more is nacre layer, which is clearly seen at the hole, the harder and more
quality is the pearl. When the pearl is twisted at the darker background, some
spots are seen which are available though insertions with unusual color are
considered as defects.
Shape and
size matter for pearls. Larger pearls of right rounded shape are quality and
expensive. However, a pearl of
asymmetric shape like baroque pearl looks lavishly when trimmed with precious
metals.
The
identity of pearls is the essential factor when choosing the jewelry. The beads
should be of similar shape, size and color in a necklace. The proportion of pearls in earrings is alsoessential.
Even if you chose the unique shape
of pearls, the all-purpose matter should be seen to avoid the impression of
stones threaded in a random way. Still, it looks ridiculous and it brings no joy.
Price and
quality for pearls are integral concepts. Sea pearls are appreciated highly and
the difference in price with the river pearl can be huge. Ideal shapes and
larger sizes cost higher than asymmetric and small pearls. Natural colors and rarity are also considered.
Pearl
jewelers produce items appropriate for any occasion. So, the stylists recommend
drop-shaped pearls complemented to the necklace of elegant rope form for the
evening out when the length of the string is around 112 cm. A business lady will
prefer elegant earrings-screwback, choker or princess necklaces of no longer than
47cm or a small brooch.
The lovers
of night club parties will like pearls blended in shape and color, when they
are free to wear several necklaces and experiment with various styles.
