Choose Beautiful Pearl Jewelry

Posted by LagunaPearl on October 23rd, 2013

Choosing pearls might seem to be a daunting task, especially for novice pearl shoppers, who do not know how to judge the gem just by looking at them. When it comes to Freshwater and Saltwater pearls while saltwater pearls are formed around a large round bead that is made from the mother of pearl, freshwater pearls are made without the nucleus and are perfectly round these pearls are solid all the way to the centre.

There are five physical factors that determine the quality of pearls as each pearl is different in its some or the other way it becomes important to know some of the grading qualities of these gems:

  1. Luster: it is the amount of light that the pearl’s surface emits; it is basically the surface glow. Cultured pearls improve the overall lustre, and thus are the best in quality and only recognised stores deal in these pearls, it is important to do your research well.
  1. Colour: There is a wide gamut of colours found in pearls, the most common colours are cream, grey, green, pink and blue. The most popular being white and rose pink as they go well with any skin tone, the colour you choose is based on your preference, but make sure the colour is evenly distributed on the pearl- sign of a good pearl.
  1. Shape: Pearls are available in various shapes, out of these the round pearls are most famous and very popular. The other shape being button, which is flat on one side, and round on the other. Then there is teardrop and baroque which are preferred because of their distinctiveness.
  1. Size: This is one of the important factor that affects the pricing of the pearl. Large pearls are difficult to cultivate because of their size, and the chances of oyster rejecting the nucleus are quiet high.
  1. Surface Perfection: The natural and cultivated pearl might have tiny marks on it, which are produced by outside sea particles. The valuation of the pearl increases when there are surface imperfections is minimal.

This above information will help in choosing the right quality pearl, websites offer all the information needed on pearls and many virtual stores offer the best quality pearls that are exported from where they are cultivated the best.
