Pearl bracelets can be found with an array of colors and types of pearls. These include exotic black pearls, or pearls that are soft grey, cream, white, or pink. Pearls come from several regions around the world, the most well-known of which are Akoya, Tahiti, and the South Sea. Pearl bracelets are a lovely complement to your wedding day outfit, but they can be worn casually as well, with matching pearl stud earrings.A pearl bracelet is an item that can be treated as a jewelry investment, since these natural jewels stay in style, decade after decade. Pearl jewelry is valued not only for its milky luminescence, but also for the way it imparts a reflected luster to the skin of the wearer. Another appealing facet of pearls is that they can be worn casually, with a sweater and slacks, as well as with elegant attire.
There are different types of pearls: saltwater, freshwater and cultured. Saltwater pearls grow naturally in saltwater oysters. Cultured pearls are from oysters, either salt or freshwater, that have been "seeded" to produce the irritation that causes pearls to form. Freshwater pearls are from freshwater mussels, and there is a lively business in Asia creating freshwater cultured pearls.
Pearl jewelry looks wonderful with gems, such as diamonds, rubies and sapphires. The subtlety of the pearl is an ideal foil for the sparkle of a well-cut gem, which is why you will often see pearls on either side of an engagement or wedding diamond. However, pearls can stand alone as some of the loveliest of jewelry pieces, and they never go out of style.
