The Pearl Necklace — Significant Beauty

It has been said that of all the pieces of jewelry in the world, a pearl necklace is the only thing a lady shouldn’t be without.  And that’s no wonder, for a pearl necklace is the embodiment of classic sophistication and perpetual elegance. 

It goes with a variety of outfits, from casual day wear to formal evening attire.  And depending on the type of pearl and color, there are numerous pearl necklace styles acceptable for the extraordinarily young, those enjoying their golden years, and nearly everyone else in the middle. 

The price of a pearl necklace relies on the quality of its pearls.  Saltwater pearls are generally more expensive than freshwater ones, which are cultured.  The glaze and the thickness of the pearls’ also affect the price, as well as the size and roundness of the pearls themselves. 

Pearl necklaces of varied colors are available on the market.  Smaller pearls in light colors of blue or pink are sometimes more OK for small children, while the creamier, ivory-toned pearls are preferred by older girls.  Jewellery pieces made of black pearls are extremely expensive, since these pearls are so rare. 

According to Chinese folklore, pearls are the tears of a dragon.  In Roman mythology, they’re the tears of Venus.  Jewelry designers, in their untiring attempts to do justice to the mythical beauty of these gems, have been adding their own twists to the pearl necklace.  Apart from the classic strand, the pearls utilized in necklaces are occasionally set in gold, silver or platinum.
