Pearls are probably the most loved gemstones in the world, whether it is in the form of a pearl necklace or natural pearl gemstones. Their elegance and beauty have long mesmerized us.
Here are some enchanting, lesser-known facts about pearls:
- Oyster real pearls are the only jewels on earth that come from a living creature. A pearl is formed when a grain of sand or an insect enters the oyster’s shell. In response, they secrete a substance called nacre which coats the irritant and the pearl is formed! On the other hand, other jewels, including rubies, sapphires, etc form in the earth’s crust.
- The satiny lustre and large size of South Sea cultured pearls is what make them the rarest in the world. They are the most desired pearl variety but also the most expensive one.
- White, cream, lavender, pink – you get natural freshwater pearls in these and other pastel hues as well! While the traditional white is beautiful, the various shades of these pearls are one of the reasons for their widespread popularity.
- Natural black pearls aren’t actually black! They simply have a bold colour that appears black. Also known as Tahitian pearls, the black-lip oyster that produces these pearls gives different colours including dark greens, blues, purples, silver, grey and the most beautiful one “peacock”.
From their natural formation within oysters to the diverse shapes and colours they come in, pearls stand as timeless symbols of elegance and refinement.
