As with other gems and stones used for jewellery-making purposes, pearls are steeped in cultural significance and are elements of symbolism in many communities and societies.

Pearls have also often been associated with love, devotion, and romance. 

The Mystic surrounding Pearl Jewellery 

Pearls are the epitome of allure, grace, and effortlessly chic gemstones. These luxurious gemstones have a striking quality that catches the eye of any passer-by.

Pearls are characterised by their blemish-free and soft surface, luster, and undeniable shine. It is commonly seen that the smoother, shinier, and larger the pearls, the higher their value in the market. 

Apart from their properties, pearl jewellery makes for a highly versatile jewellery option, thus making them that much more desirable among jewellery enthusiasts. Pearls possess a distinct allure that distinguishes them from other precious stones. Their gentle, shimmering glow brings a hint of refinement and grace to every outfit. These precious gems remain to be a timeless piece of adornment and continue to embody a sense of everlasting sophistication.

Artificial Pearl Jewllery VS. Real Pearl Jewellery

Pearl jewellery is available in the marketplace in two common forms: 

• Artificial Pearl Jewellery: These types of pearl jewellery, which are also known as faux pearls or artificial pearls are man-made pearls, curated through processes that incorporate glass, plastic or shell materials. These pearls, owing to their man-made nature, are more commonly found and are more affordable than real pearls.
• Real Pearl Jewellery: Real pearl jewellery holds a much more esteemed positioon in the industry as compared to artificial pearls, as they are made from real pearls that are formed within oysters or mollusks. Real pearls are highly valued for their exquisite beauty and scarcity. These precious gems can be further categorized into two types: natural pearls, which are created by nature without any human interference, and cultured pearls, which are carefully cultivated by introducing a nucleus into the oyster to encourage the formation of pearls.
