The Pearl Jewelry
The pearl is a perfect gift to your beloved wife in many ways. It has various characteristics that make it stand out from the others.
Precious Ones
Pearls are some of the most wonderful creations of nature. A single pearl has too much history in it. There are many oysters in the sea but only a number of them will be able to produce pearls.
An oyster can be entered by foreign elements like dirt or sand. Once it settled inside the shells, the oyster will then cover it with coating or nacre. This continues as time passes by until a pearl is fully formed.
This event is the determining factor that makes a pearl very rare and expensive.
Each Pearl Is Unique
As illustrated above, a single pearl requires considerable amount of time to develop once chance allowed an oyster to grow one. Thus, a single pearl is very special.
Even the very name of the pearl actually stands for a Latin word that means unique.
No two pearls will ever be the same. Each pearl will have its own distinct characteristics and story. This can very much symbolize the feelings you have for your wife and she will definitely appreciate it.

The overtone is the translucent color/s that you can see on top of the body color, although there are pearls with no overtones. Imagine the pearl as a colored ball and imagine an overtone as a colored plastic wrap over it. The overtone can add to the luster and depth of the pearl and can change its main color a little. For example, a pearl may have a cream color with pink overtones.
Size – generally speaking, the larger the pearl, the more valuable it is. Size is measured in millimeters and determined by the pearl’s diameter.
Shape – pearls come in a wide array of shapes: the spherical (round and near-round), symmetrical (oval, button and drop or pear-shaped) and baroque (irregular and non-symmetrical).
Luster – pearls are reflective gemstones. The higher its luster quality, the more it can reflect light and surrounding images and the more brilliant it is. Luster is dependent upon the quality and amount of nacre that the pearl contains.
Surface quality – pearls of high value are those with little imperfections like spots, bumps or discolorations. The more nearly perfect it is, the more valuable.
Caring for your pearl earrings
Pearls are quite delicate, being organic and softer than other gemstones which is why caring for them may require a different approach. They can crack, are easily damaged and can be scratched by harder gems. To keep them in good shape, it would be a good idea to keep them in a separate container, away from your other gemstones. This way, pearls are in no danger of rubbing against the harder stones.

Natural vs. Cultured
Gem-quality natural pearls are quite rare because those produced by mollusks are not always good enough for jewelry. Other than that, some of the shapes are not acceptable. There are also a very small number of harvestable natural pearls available which is why jewelers turn to cultured pearls, which are easily produced in the desired shape and size and conveniently harvested.
Natural pearls are generally not superior in quality and value to cultured pearls, although the perfectly round natural pearl is the most prized because of its rarity. The only difference between the two types is their method of production. Both are actual pearls.
Choosing a good quality pearl
Pearls are prized depending on several factors, a combination of which can greatly affect their price:
Color – is determined based on two things: the body color and the overtone. The body color is the main color of the pearl, which can range from the more common white, cream and silver to green, gold, blue and black. The body color depends on the kind of oyster the pearl was produced with as well as on the water conditions prevailing at the time of its production.

Fake pearls are made by coating a core of some sort (mother-of-pearl, plastic, etc.) with a plastic, a kind of paint containing ground fish scales or other stuff that look pearly to the eye. Generally, the fakes do not have a gritty feel to the tooth. Most may be identified with a little practice and a 10x jewelers loupe or microscope. The way to do it is to compare real pearls with some known fakes. The fakes almost always show a grittier look to the surface and not the more smoothly formed natural nacre.
The look is grittier but the feel to a tooth is smoother. After some practice comparisons, most fakes are fairly easily identified. Still, some are hard to detect without very thorough testing sometimes using solvents and acids which attack the real pearl nacre but not the plastic fakes and visa versa.
Other than that, a look at the drilled holes in the beads will help. Since the pearl is formed naturally without a hole, the hole must be drilled. The surface of the pearl at the drill hole will not 'sink in' or 'rise up' as is seen in many fakes that are formed and coated with the holes already made to the core. In the real pearl, the nacre will be smooth with the drill hole and might even be chipped a bit. Some folks recommend having a dentist do an x-ray to see what is inside.

If you get pearls and you are not sure if they are fake or real and you have a hard time to tell them apart, go to you closest jewelry store and talk to them.

If you like pearl earrings, you’re not the only one. Pearls enjoy a long history and have appeared in art, literature and music. They have adorned kings as well as criminals and have continued to enjoy a kind of popularity that has not waned to this day.
Pearls are highly valued and there are few cultures in the world that do not know what it is. Its oldest record dates back to 2300 B.C., when it was used as gifts to emperors and members of the royal court in China. It was highly valued by the ancient Greeks and was believed to bring love to married couples. The Koran describes it as one of Paradise’s greatest treasures.
Pearls were traded by Native Americans and upon this discovery, they were then harvested and sent to Europe from the colonies. With this volume of pearl trade increasing, it was only a matter of time before pearl-producing mollusks began to be threatened with extinction, but this did not happen.
Throughout the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, Japanese researches found that oysters can be stimulated artificially by deliberately introducing foreign particles into them. This process was perfected by Kokichi Mikimoto, whose name is now synonymous with high-quality cultured pearls.

This article is about real pearls, both natural and cultured. First, the term 'pearl' should be applied only to natural pearls, formed in a mollusk when some event in nature induces the oyster or mussel to form a pearl. These pearls are quite rare and are the pearls of antiquity before pearl farmers learned to culture pearls. Freshwater pearls fished from the rivers in the USA are natural pearls, but now-a-days, most freshwater pearls are also cultured in freshwater pearl farms.
In any event, naturally forming or cultured, such pearls are formed in the oyster or mussel and are not fakes. The real difference in the totally natural pearl and the cultured pearls is what makes the pearl start to grow and the thickness of the nacre. Nacre is the pearly layers that make a pearl so lovely. The natural pearl will have very thick nacre, generally forming in concentric rings around some starting source or irritation to the mollusk. A large natural pearl is very, very rare. Cultured pearls generally use a 'core' of mother-of-pearl, the shell of the mollusk.
The bead core goes into the mollusk and nacre is formed around the core. The core determines the overall shape of the pearl. How long the oyster is allowed to let the pearl grow determines the thickness of the nacre. Thicker nacre is better. Best of all is thick nacre and a smooth, almost blemish free surface. Pearls grown inside the mussel or oyster do have a gritty feel to the tooth.
Wholesale jewelry store can provide the perfect choice for wedding jewelry. China is now
the top producers of these gems. There are some samples, for example pearl necklace,
cultured pearl necklace, wholesale pearl beads, cheap pearl bracelet, wholesale
pearl earings, wholesale pearl pendant and single
pearl necklace, though, that you need to look into when getting quality
pearl jewelry, in any way you can look for some informations on the internet,
in there you will find what you want, very interesting.

Still, unless a person is very, very familiar with reading the images the results are very iffy. A core will look like a core whether in a fake or a cultured pearl. A core will not be present to any large extent in a pearl formed freely in the ocean but those pearls just are not around or to be had except in very small sizes.
Using a good loupe (hand held magnifier) of 10 power is likely the best home test. Of course, try the teeth first! Then look at the drill holes and the surface compared to a good cultured pearl. There is not a one-in-all test I can recommend. Some of this will simply require some 'pearls' of real and fakes for comparison. When you look through a 10x maginfier at the surface of most fakes, the surface might look gritty, uneven, "orange peel" as in paints or even flaked off in small places.
There is a difference difficult to describe. The comparison of the nacre of a pearl to the fake surface is a good indication for use at home, following your teeth, of course. Again, look for the rising or falling surface at the drill holes, like a "painted surface" has sunk into the hole or been pulled up from it.
Even the jewelers are fooled once in a while but not often. Have you seen Mabe pearls? These are the large 'half pearls' often seen in rings and pendants. Some years ago some really good fakes hit the market and were being sold at very competitive prices -- that is, compared to the real ones. Many were sold and bought as the real thing! The testing for these required disassembly of the fake mabes plus solvent and acid tests. A lot of buyers were taken in on this one, likely never to know they bought and later sold fake mabe pearls.
On some day, one of
my friends carry a wide selection of pearl jewelry, from pearl beads, cultured

Platinum and silver - Platinum is much more costlier than gold, while silver is fairly cheap. Platinum is combined with other metals such as palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, and osmium and like gold jewelry; platinum also comes with quality markings indicating the proportion of platinum used. Markings however are based on parts per thousand, thus 900 platinum marking signifies that 900 parts out of thousand parts is pure platinum or the jewelry item is made using 90% platinum. Jewelry items made from less than 850 parts per thousand pure platinum will include markings indicating amount of platinum used as well as the amount of other platinum group metals mentioned above.
Silver jewelry that contains 92.5% silver is also called sterling silver and may be marked as 925 meaning 925 parts per thousand are pure silver. Like gold, silver plated jewelry is also very popular.
Gemstones - You may have the option of buying natural stones or those created in laboratories. Laboratory-created stones have the same physical, and chemical properties as natural ones and even look similar. They are cheaper versions of natural stones due to their easy availability and are your best bet if you are looking for an exact replica of natural stones minus the hefty price tag. On the other hand, imitation stones (made of glass, plastic or other materials) that are available in the market only look like natural stones and must not be confused with laboratory-created stones.

These retailers will then post that diamond to their online inventory, but the price people pay will be different at each site. When they decide to purchase diamonds, the retailer notifies the wholesaler and that diamond is removed from inventory and is no longer available to any other online retailer.
Shopping for your jewelry can be sometimes confusing, as you are invariably stuck with one question that keeps cropping up in your mind - "am I buying authentic, good-quality jewelry?" This question may nag you every time you set out to shop for the perfect piece of jewelry to compliment your looks. Whether you are shopping in a lifestyle store or buying it online, you need to ensure that the jewelry you are buying is actually what it claims to be. There are certain parameters on the basis of which you can determine if the quality of jewelry is up to the mark.
Gold - The standard 24-karat gold is very soft and therefore needs to be amalgamated with other metals in order to make it hard and durable. Thus, gold jewelry pieces are usually sold with a tag that indicates its purity in terms of karat. However, law does not require such markings. The karat quality mark indicates the proportion of gold being used to make that particular piece of jewelry. If jewelry is marked 14k, it means that 14 parts of gold have been used with ten parts of base metal while making the jewelry. Along with the karat rating, you will see the name of the manufacturing company or its U.S. registered trademark, which is usually in the form of symbol, name or just initials. You must avoid buying if the trademark is not engraved on the jewelry. Gold plated jewelry is also very common that is usually made using 10K gold.

Black pearls are among the most expensive and so you should choose with care for the money you are paying.
To buy small loose diamonds is probably the best way to buy diamonds. When people are shopping for small loose diamonds at a jewelry store, it is always advisable to ask the dealer for a 10X eye loupe with which it is possible to closely examine the diamond. And, if people intend to buy small loose diamonds, it would be better if they bought a 10X eye loupe directly from a jewelry house. The best way to verify a diamond for clarity is with a stereoscopic binocular microscope, which comes with dark field lighting.
The most common shapes for small loose diamonds are baguette, emerald, heart, marquise, oval, radiant, round, brilliant, and princess. Manufactures or artisans who make diamond jewelry generally buy small diamonds. They normally buy this diamond in bulk, and make different types of diamond jewelry and some might also use it to make diamond watches or embellish shoes and purses. When loose diamonds are set in any article it becomes an exclusive piece and is always expensive.
There is a search engine designed online specifically for loose diamonds, where people could search by shape, weight, cut, color, clarity and price. There are Retailers who get the lists of available diamonds from wholesalers around the country. Those wholesalers give the retailers a cost price and the retailers decide how high to mark up each diamond. The difference in price between retailers could be around $10,000 for a large diamond. This is basically how the search engine for loose diamonds work

The Black Pearl may have been a ship in a movie but the black pearls in a black pearl necklace come from the South pacific islands and are often called South Sea Pearls or Tahitian Pearls.
They can look quite splendid especially in a tastefully made black pearl necklace which shows off the skin tone and the dress. A black pearl necklace is the basic black of jewelry and will go with most designs and fashions.
When looking for a black pearl necklace there are some things to keep in mind.
Black pearls come in a range of sizes as well as qualities. The size, quantity and quality will depend largely on your budget. The more you can spend the bigger and more pearls you can get for the necklace. However you may not want large pearls of course. The shape and thickness of the neck is important so that you pick the size that is right for you. If one's neck is on the thin size too big pearls will emphasis the thinness of the neck. While too small a set of pearls on a thicker neck will look tiny and out of place.
Also when you are inspecting the necklace, check that the pearls are uniform in color, luster and size. There should be no uneven pearls and all should be the same shape, either round or perhaps slightly oval in some cases.
The luster should be good and you should also get a certificate to state the pearls are genuine and not fake.
