Pearls are beautiful and exquisite, but it's hard to believe that these small objects are created inside a living shelled mollusk. Ideally, the perfect pearl is round and smooth. Cultured or freshwater pearls are primarily used in jewelry that is on the market now, but a sea pearl is considered more valuable and desired as far as pearls are rated.

Pearl necklaces are very popular when someone wants to give a gift of a pearl. They are available in so many designs and colors, they are sure to please anyone that receives them as a gift. There are many different lengths of pearl necklaces. One type is the collar which sits directly against the throat and does not hang down the neck at all. Sometimes, a collar style necklace is made up of a multiple of strands. Pearl chokers, lay at the base of the neck. Princess length will fall down to or just below the collarbone. Matinee length will end at just ...
... above the breasts, where an opera length will actually be long enough to reach the sternum.

There are so many beautiful colors of the pearl out there on the market to please any palette. White and black are the most popular colors sold on the market. However, for women that are looking for a different style, purple, pink, blue, green and champagne colored pearls are available as well. Any of these colors would look fantastic in a beautiful and elegant pearl necklace!

Prices in pearls will vary depending on what type of pearl it is, size, shape, orient, luster and surface quality of the pearl. These factors are what makes up how a pearl is graded and appraised in value. The good thing about pearl necklaces is they can be purchased at a very affordable price all the way up to an extravagant price tag. Regardless of the cost, they are always beautiful gifts to purchase for yourself or for another person in your life that you want to show how much they are loved!
