Pearls As Gifts

The great thing about pearls is that they never go out of fashion and often passed on from one generation to another. They symbolize purity of love and romance. In many societies brides are often given these as gifts for good luck and harmony - promote marital bliss!

Since pearl jewelry comes in many colors, shapes and sizes, one can always buy them in any assortment of jewelry pieces from necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other body piercings. The best way to find the perfect pearl gift for a woman is to pay attention to her style and what her favorite colors are. (Something that will compliment the colors in her wardrobe)

Dressier occasions call for dressier pearls, such as a string of pearls, or pearl string bracelet. Some pieces come studded with other gemstones as well. After you have made up your mind as to what color and what jewelry pieces you want for her, then you may also consider if the pearl gift will be used for formal occasions, or just for more casual attire. Also classic pearl necklace string or a single pearl with a diamond accent.

Necklace Length - You can buy pearl necklaces in a number of different lengths. The lengths and fancy names are:

Collar - 12-13"
Choker - 14-16"
Princess - 17-19"
Matinee - 20-25"
Opera - 26-36"
Rope - 37" and Over

Pearls can be symmetrical, baroque, tear-drop shaped or irregular. Sphere like pearls mostly command higher value.

When it comes to checking the quality of pearls, do it under direct light and on a flat white surface. Check the whole string for luster and overtone. Lustrous pearls have shiny surface. There should be good contrast between light and dark, as well as strong and crisp reflections. A play of iridescent rainbow with high quality colors. Is the color look more natural or color-enhanced? Overtones - a tint secondary to the main body color. Make sure there are minimal defects such as nicks, cracks, pits, blemishes or discoloration. Thick nacre is the key.

Buy the pearl jewelry you like most and can afford it.
