NATURAL FRESH WATER PEARLS

Unlike other gemstones that come from the earth, Pearl is formed in mollusks that can be found in both fresh and salt water. Small foreign bodies, like grains of sand or small parasites, get inside the mollusk and form layers of pearly materials around it as defense. Layers in the Pearl build up just like the layers of an onion, creating concentric circles.

The more layers are formed, the larger the Pearl becomes. The overlapping layers also create an iridescent luster that’s called orient of the Pearl.

Pearl also symbolizes wisdom gained through experience. It will help you learn the lessons with every life experience, and it will make you wiser and stronger for it.

"If you want your pearl to last a lifetime, it is important not to expose it to sunlight, humidity, dryness, wide temperature variations, or acids which can all dull a pearl’s luster. Natural pearls retain their qualities better than cultured pearls. Pearls are also relatively soft and can be marked by scratches and crushed by pressure. Wearing your pearls often is the best way to care for them as the body’s natural oils keep them lustrous. Wipe the pearls with a soft cloth before putting them away."
