Keshi - Also known as poppy seed pearls, these are tiny freshwater pearls. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Button - This round freshwater pearl is flat on one side. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Coin - Like the button pearl, except it is flat on both sides. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Baroque - These freshwater pearls are completely free form, having no pre-determined shape. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Circle - Also called the ring pearl, this saltwater pearl has concave, concentric lines. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Pearl Colors 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Freshwater pearls, which are often used for fashion pearl jewelry, grow in virtually every color of the rainbow. They are an affordable - though no less beautiful - alternative to traditional white, round saltwater Akoya pearls. Black Tahitian pearls, which are also saltwater cultured pearls, have overtones of peacock and silver and are most often have semi-round, baroque, and circle shapes. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Traditionally, the standard for pearl jewelry has been to use white or near-white cultured pearls, freshwater pearls, or natural pearls that are perfectly round. The white, round beauties have been treasured because, in the world of pearl jewelry, they are rare. Increasingly, however, women are appreciating the uniqueness and versatility of pearls in a variety of shapes and colors - just as nature makes them. If you&#039;ve always thought of pearls as white and round, it&#039;s time to think again. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Pearl Shapes 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Round - Traditional round cultured pearls are often used for pearl bridal jewelry, the traditional pearl necklace, and other cultured pearl jewelry, like pearl stud earrings. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Rice - Rice pearls are small and shaped irregularly, and have crinkled surfaces. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Potato - As its name implies, potato-shaped cultured pearls have irregular oblong shapes. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Oval - Shaped like an egg, these saltwater or freshwater pearls are usually white. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

The other half comes from mines in Canada, India, Russia, Brazil and Australia. Today, the jewelry industry is buzzing about high-quality or lab-created diamonds. These synthetic diamonds possess the same molecular structure as natural diamonds. With public concerns about the mining industry, these man-made beauties offer a compelling alternative to the real thing. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Mohs&#039; Hardness score is based on a 10 point scale where 10 is the most resistant, like a diamond, and 1 is easily scratched, such as Talc. Diamonds are often proved real by the fact that they can scratch glass. Because they are such scratch resistant stones, diamonds are extremelty suitable as a component of oft-worn jewelry. Diamonds should be regularly cleaned by a professional or with a soft rag and mild soap and water. Avoid ultra-sonic cleaners, solvents and harsh chemicals when cleaning your handcrafted jewelry as exposure to these elements can damage semi-precious and precious gemstones and pearls.

 <title>To judge if all the pearls in a strand</title>

To judge if all the pearls in a strand are round, hold the strand taut between your hands and rotate the strand; if some of the pearls jump about, the strand is not completely round. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
7. Pearls have flaws just like other gems. These may be dimples, scratches or cracks. A few dimples here and there should not be of much concern, but a scratch or crack is unacceptable in a fine strand. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
8. Odd shaped pearls, called baroques, are not to be disparaged if they have good luster and no scratches or cracks. These pearls tend to be a bit less formal, with a younger, hipper look than the more expensive rounds, and they are available at a substantially lower price. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
9. Beware the Japanese Akoya pearl. If your grandmother or mother has a strand of white round pearls, they are likely Akoya. These pearls are formed by placing a shell bead in the oyster. In the last few years, Japanese farmers have dramatically reduced the time the pearl is allowed to develop, resulting in pearls with less than ? millimeter of pearl essence over the shell bead. These pearls lack luster and are prone to flaking. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
10. Pearls come in many nuances of color, but color is not the issue. The real question is how the pearl looks against the skin of the intended wearer--a characteristic I call simpatico. Don&amp;rsquo;t prejudge, test the simpatico of each strand by placing it against the skin on the inside of the wrist. The skin in this area is the same color and texture as the skin around the ears and neck. The result may surprise you. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lpearls.com/images/MCB004-pearl.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lpearls.com/images/MCB004-pearl.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; height=&quot;187&quot; /&gt;1. There are two types of pearls--natural and cultured. In today&amp;rsquo;s market just about every pearl you see will be cultured, i.e. the hand of man had something to do with manufacturing the pearl. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
2. We are experiencing a pearl renaissance. There are more types of pearls on the market than ever before. Twenty years ago the Japanese Akoya stood virtually alone. Today you can choose from: Freshwater pearls, South Sea white, Tahitian black, and South Sea golden pearls. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
3. What&amp;rsquo;s the best buy in pearls? The Chinese Freshwater Pearl. These pearls are cultured without a bead and are pure pearl. They are available in natural pastel or white. The best will stand toe-to-toe with any pearl in the world, and can be purchased for a third of the price. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
4. Pearls are often treated, usually to change or improve the color. Natural colors are, by far, the most beautiful. Japanese Akoya, the pearl that is seen most in the market, is routinely bleached white, then dyed, to give it a pinkish overtone. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
5. A fine pearl has what experts call &amp;ldquo;life&amp;rdquo;. This is a combination of high surface luster and overtone, an ephemeral misty glow that seems to hover over the surface of the pearl. In white pearls the overtone will normally be pink. In black pearls, the overtone will be green, red or blue. Look at the pearl(s) under a light bulb; if you can distinctly see the outline of the bulb, the pearl has high luster. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

Sleeping beauty comes in many hues of light to dark blue. Turquoise is mainly found in the US, Australia, Chile, Mexico, and historically, Iran. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Mohs&#039; Hardness score is based on a 10 point scale where 10 is the most resistant, like a diamond, and 1 is easily scratched, such as Talc. Turquoise gets a score of 5-6, meaning that it is fairly scratch resistant and therefore suitable as a component of everyday jewelry. Turquoise gemstones should be regularly cleaned by a professional or with a soft rag and mild soap and water. Other methods, including ultra-sonic clenares, solvents and harsh chemicals should be avoided when cleaning your handcrafted jewelry as exposure to these elements can damage semi-precious and precious gemstones and pearls.

A form of carbon, the Diamond is the world&amp;rsquo;s hardest known natural material. In fact, the word &amp;quot;Diamond&amp;quot; comes from the ancient Greek adamas, which means invincible. Because of their durability, Diamonds have been used in tools for since antiquity. Diamonds were first used as religions icons in India nearly 2,500 years ago. Since then, they&#039;ve become highly coveted gemstones. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Diamonds are often described and valued by their gemological characteristics: The Four C&#039;s (carat, color, cut and clarity). Although Diamonds are used in many types of fine jewelry, they are traditionally associated with engagement and wedding rings. Most people think diamonds are white or colorless. In fact, yellow and brown Diamonds are the most common. Any Diamond with a hue other than brown or yellow is considered a colored Diamond. Colorless Diamonds are pure or nearly pure. The color scale for colorless diamonds goes from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Diamonds look best as parts of formal evening jewelry when paired with Black Onyx, dark amethyst or cool blue sapphire. More casual combinations include lighter, bridal colored blends with aquamarine, pearls and carnelian.

Mother of Pearl has been a major part in jewelry and decorative arts for thousands of years. From ancient Egypt and Persia, to ancient China, Mother of Pearl has been a prized semi-precious gemstone throughout human history. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As part of the shell building process, the mollusk will deposit layers of calcium carbonate held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre or mother-of-pearl.Mother of Pearl stirs and awakens the ancient memory of your origin in the endless ocean of divine love. It stirs this memory in your thoughts, your feelings, and in every cell of your physical body. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As your memory opens, this divine love flows into you, repairing the deep wounds created by unfulfilled needs. Every cell in your physical body and every aspect of your mind and emotions have an ancient memory. Mother of Pearl stirs the forces that have kept this memory hidden. It is the memory of the time you were part of the sea - the boundless spiritual ocean where all Souls reside. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In your physical body, Mother of Pearl produces an overall soothing effect as it gently stirs the life energy of your cells. Like waves lapping the coast, this moving is steady, relaxing, and graceful. Overactive mechanisms throughout your body are calmed, and the flexibility of your cells increases, improving their ability to accept oxygen and life force.

&lt;br /&gt;
But he must remember that in Russia a woman ignoring her sex peculiarities and engrossed in her work is viewed as an odd and absurd creature - a &amp;quot;bluestocking&amp;quot;. You imagine incredible affection for grey colors, baggy skirt with a slit with knee-high stocking visible in it, hair of indefinite color tied up in a pitiful ponytail, grey face without any lively colors. This image has been repeatedly reproduced in the Russian cinema and is universally despised. Perhaps, this can account for the extraordinary attention of a Russian woman to her looks. Whatever the trends in fashion, the major goal a Russian woman tries to attain in her clothes is to emphasize her gentleness and beauty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian Women and Health&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you speak to most RW about their health, they will usually refer to their spiritual health and their physical health. RW are firm believers that the way the way they conduct their lives determines their spiritual health. They will also talk about their physical health. RW would rather avoid Russian hospitals. They believe the doctors are not very good nor do they care much about their patients. Every RW will know of a case where a friend visited many doctors and was unable to be cured. The story will not stop there. They will then refer to a &amp;ldquo;not usually&amp;rdquo; doctor who managed to cure the ailment.&amp;nbsp;

What professions are most favored nowadays by Russian women? In specialized secondary schools those of book-keeper, shop-assistant, secretary, manager, hairdresser and dressmaker. In universities those of lawyer and economist that are considered to be in demand and offer an opportunity to get a well-paid job. At present Russian universities release twice as much lawyers and economists than in 1991. No less prestigious are the faculties of psychology and sociology where the competition has increased considerably during last 4-5 years. The most attractive among the medical professions is that of a dentist. When choosing a University and a Faculty to enter a Russian girl acts in accordance with her preferences, aptitudes, interest, prestige of a certain profession, a possibility to get a well-paid job after graduation. But we have to admit, to our regret, that a diploma of any educational institution of any level even if there are only top marks there doesn&#039;t guarantee a Russian girl the job she has been trained for. Her knowledge turns out to be unnecessary. This is a paradox of nowadays: the Russian state, having invested huge sums of money in education of top-class specialists, does not allow provide careers for these trained professionals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women in Russia may theoretically take courses in two or even three universities. Besides, there is a possibility of improving one&#039;s knowledge in his/her field at the Faculties of raising qualification, at the post-graduate courses for people writing a theses to obtain candidate or doctor of science degree, at various seminars and specialized courses. Many middle aged Russian women, unemployed or seeking for a more satisfying job, start to attend specialized courses to master a chosen trade that is in keen labor demand. The courses offer assistance in mastering the trades of lawyer, psychologist, book-keeper, auditor, manager, economist, secretary, hairdresser and shop-assistant. Many educational centers guarantee provision of employment. But the way things go in reality proves it is practically impossible to find a job in a good firm after six months courses. Nevertheless life offers Russian women greater opportunities nowadays. Many women ventured to give up their steady jobs, even if they yielded good money, for a try to make use of their creative business gifts and started their own businesses.
