Pearls
The mystery of pearls has preoccupied man since the very beginning of civilization, because this beautiful gem occurs in
water, unlike other precious stones. They are organic, and not mined from the earth. They are formed inside oysters and
mussels (mollusks) in all types of waters - from deep to shallow, salt to fresh, from the deep oceans to river beds. Whether
from a grain of sand to an implanted nucleus, Mother Nature takes over the process in a very natural way, and a rare beauty
is born!
Pearl strands come in four lengths: 16" (choker), 18" (classic), 24" (matinee) and 30" (opera). They are usually strung and knotted between each pearl by hand on silk cords.
