The Different Types of Pearl Necklaces

August 27th, 2009

Pearls have a wonderful radiance and a peace about them that make them great candidates for beautiful necklaces. When it comes to choosing the necklace for you there are several things to consider.

Pearls used for necklaces come in a few different types, a wide variety of sizes, and even a huge assortment of colors. First of all the least expensive pearl is the cultured freshwater pearl. These are grown rather then simply harvested and makes them more prevalent. Next you have a freshwater pearl that is harvested. More expensive options are saltwater pearls such as the South Sea pearl, the Tahitian pearl, and the Akoya pearl. These are more uniform in shape, size, and color. Pearls come in all sizes and colors ranging from pastels to silver to black.

In additional to pearl necklaces coming in a wide range of types, sizes, and colors the person deciding to buy pearls will need to decide how long they want the strand to be. The shortest option is the collar. This necklace hugs the neck closely and is usually about 12 to 13 inches long. Next is the choker which is 14 or 15 inches long. A princess necklace will run from 16 to 18 inches. The matinee necklace is longer at about 20 to 24 inches. The opera necklaces is 32 to 36 inches and the rope necklace is the longest being at least 36 inches.

In addition to pearl type and the length of the necklace you need to consider what it is made out of. Traditionally pearl necklaces were made of creamy white pearls either in a strand or with a solitary pearl on a chain. More modern necklaces include pearls of all colors and even necklaces that have more then one color on a single strand. You can also find necklaces with pearls mixed with gemstones and or crystals. This gives the pearls a unique look while still having the class of the original.

Pearl necklaces have a lot to offer women whether they are young or old. There is a necklace that is perfect for you!

June 19th, 2009

Whether you need an anniversary gift or a birthday gift, when it comes to women there’s nothing better than pearl jewelry.  Pearls can be everything from a rite of passage for young girls to a special 50th anniversary gift.  No matter what the occasion, if there is a woman involved, then pearls are a wonderful option.

Talk to women who have special pearl jewelry from someone they love.  They will tell you the entire back-story behind the jewelry and they will have a smile on their face the whole time.  The beauty of pearls is unmatched, even with diamonds.  Sure, diamonds are expensive, but pearls are timeless.  Women who receive pearls as a gift will end up keeping the jewelry for their whole lives.  What other gift does someone hang onto for such a long time?

Another great aspect of pearl jewelry is that it is relatively affordable for how beautiful it is.  Not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on diamonds.  If you don’t have to take a new mortgage out to pay for your jewelry, why would you?  Why wouldn’t you choose something that is just as beautiful and timeless, but for half of the price.

Make that special lady in your life feel even more special for her next birthday or holiday by giving her pearl jewelry.  This will surely be a gift that she will cherish for many years to come.  Plus every time she looks at the pearls she will think of you.

Don’t be a giver of gifts that are simply returned or re-gifted this year.  This time make sure you are giving something that is meaningful and beautiful all at the same time.  Women love pearls because of their timeless elegance.  Be the person who gives a gift that will bring any woman to tears of joy.  Make her feel as beautiful as she really is with a strand of pearls or pearl earrings.  There are even pearl bracelets.  Be sure you find the one that is perfect for that woman you love.  This will be a gift she really will cherish forever.

Pearl Necklaces

June 16th, 2009

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.
