How are pearls made?

The first step when getting into the world of pearls is to find out where they come from. The entire process is mesmerizing and reinforces how special they are. They come from a natural defense stage against parasites that try to enter marine oysters and freshwater mussels. An object enters the shell and irritates it, until it gets trapped inside.

It’s a long and rare process - it can take three years! Pearls are the only type of gemstones that come from living creatures, making everything even more similar to a dream. Pearls are so naturally stunning that they don’t require extra polishing or cutting. They’re flawless
In history, pearls were so valuable that only the emperor could wear them during the Byzantine empire. Other nations used to have restrictions on who was allowed to wear the jewelry, showing how prestigious they were. 

With time, pearls became more popular and people started wearing them in different ways: rings, pendants and earrings. Even though the number of people using them has increased, they’re still as sought after and in demand as they were in the past. The difference is that these days, the accessories are prettier.

How to choose pearl jewelry

According to Pinterest, we’re living in the time of Pearlcore. This means that if you ever secretly desired a pearl item, now it’s the time to go and get it! The truth is that your personal preference will dictate your choice. 

Think about your style: are you classic or modern? Chic or vintage? Romantic or creative? Those are important questions to ask yourself before purchasing any item! A lovely inspiration is Cleopatra, who wore pearls during the Roman Empire, showing power and femininity

Pearl earrings

Each accessory has its own advantages and traits. They can be used to highlight your natural beauty or to match your favorite piece of clothing. Pearl earrings are the final piece you’ve been missing this whole time.
 
They are extremely versatile and discrete, perfect for every occasion imaginable. A romantic pearl stud or drop earrings will make you look even more elegant. Once you try them on, you’ll see that even the smaller piece can make a big difference.

Pearl pendants

Pearl pendants are great as gits and as a way to enhance your beauty. An enchanting piece can refresh your entire look, leaving it looking more romantic and vintage. Choose with your heart and let the design speak for itself. This might be your next treasure, kept very close to your heart.

Pearl rings

The best part is that pearl rings are extra comfortable. You won’t even feel that you’re wearing them. Besides, they have the power of making you look extremely fancy in the best way possible: effortlessly.
