Wow I love pearl bracelets, they say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, well I think pearls are.  A pearl bracelet is a beautiful accessory for the woman on the go…looks great with any article of clothing.  Pearls have a history of warmth and class.  Pearl bracelets come in a verity of colors, such as, pink, black, white, peach, blue, and lavender.  Strains of every color make a sweet bracelet for all occasion.

Not only woman can dress up with pearl bracelets, so can new born babies.
Baby pearl bracelets are so sweet; I gave one to a lady for her new baby girl. When she brought this sweet child home for the first time, she dress her is a little dress with the accessory of a tiny freshwater pearl bracelet in white.

I was told once of a man who sold all he had to go buy this pearl of great price, it had been bury in a field for some reason, and the gentlemen sold his car and a few gold chains just to purchase this small lot of land where the pearl was hid.  It was said that as he acquired the land he spent the next few days digging for the pearl, and found it, so exquisite it took he breath away, guess what he did with it?  Yes that’s right he made his wife a single pearl bracelet.

The story be hide the pearls as they are made is very fascinating, let me tell some of what I have learned.

A pearl start its life a s grain of sand, this little sand finds itself in-between the flesh of an oyster and rub the flesh raw, so the oyster secretes  and coats the tissue from the sand with nacre which makes the pearly substance, this is the saltwater pearls.  The freshwater pearls are injected with tissue to start this process, the oyster/muscle needs a balance of freshwater and food for feeding, the best place is a river pool that has water flowing to it and out of it.

Pearl Necklaces

Pearls are one of the most timeless pieces of jewelry one can own. From your grandmother wearing her pearls on Sunday, or borrowing pearls to accessorize your wedding dress, pearls should be a part of every woman’s wardrobe. A classic way to wear pearls is through a simple single strand pearl necklace.

Pearls used for pearl necklaces are usually of the spherical shape and are natural pearls. Cultural pearls are created within a mollusk but have been artificially implanted there by humans. The more natural and rounder the pearl, the more expensive. Pearls that are natural are usually sold by carat weight where pearls that are cultured are sold by their size, which is measured in millimeters.

When selecting the type of necklace you would like to purchase, consider the 6 styles it can come in and choose the appropriate one for your occasion. The 6 styles include the collar, choker, princess, matinee, opera and rope.

Collar pearl necklace (10 to 13 inches in length) and choker necklaces (16 to 18 inches) are a great addition to any formal or evening wear. Opera pearl necklaces (28 to 34 inches) are ideal for formal events, special occasions and parties. Princess necklaces (17 to 20 inches) are wore mostly for nights on the town. Matinee (20 to 24 inches) and rope (45 inches and longer) pearl necklaces are paired best with suits and business attire.

For a younger recipient of the necklace, baroque style pearls can better suit them as they are not the traditional single strand necklace. These pearls are as unique as the person they are being given too and often come in contemporary settings. For a single set pearl on a necklace, one may look into symmetrical pearls as they include the pear shaped pear and are ideal to use as a focal point of a necklace. For the traditional pearl necklace, a strand of spherical pearls is your best choice and is easiest to find at any jewelry store. Be sure to try your pearl necklace with different combinations to achieve the look that fits you best.
