For centuries, pearls have been a symbol of beauty and purity. Today, they are regarded as both classic and contemporary, coming in many more fashionable styles than your grandmother’s traditional strand of pearls.

Pearls are smooth, hard layers of nacre with a lustrous appearance that are used to create beautiful jewelry. Pearls are made by a mollusk when an irritant comes in contact with it inside an oyster’s shell. Whether the irritant is a parasite, grain of sand, or piece of food, the mollusk secretes nacre for protection. The nacre layers build up to form the pearl. 

Pearls come in a variety of shapes: round, oval, pear, semi-round, button, baroque, drop, and circle. Pearls are most commonly white and black, but they can also be other colors including green and pink.

For many centuries, pearls have been a symbol of beauty and elegance. They remain a popular choice for jewelry, including bracelets, pendants, and earrings. Many classic and modern styles of jewelry are available in each type of pearl.
