Pearls and their Mystique World

Welcome 2012, and what a start to the year it has been. Apologies for not updating my blog earlier, but we had our Annual Sale in January, and I was pretty tied up with that. I’d like to thank all our customers who visited us during our big event.


Have you wondered about the magic of pearls? What makes them special? I fell in love with pearls, not because I’m in the business, but because of the magic that it holds.
It is the only gem that is used exactly how it is produced. All other gems need cutting and polishing. Metals need melting and molding, but Pearls, they are used exactly how nature produced them. They are the only gem that is produced by a living thing. It is created after sitting 2-10 years in the belly of an Oyster or mollusk.

Although pearls are formed by living things and not mined like most gems, they still have just as many uses. These spectacular pearls can be strung into necklaces, fashioned into pendants or even placed in a simple ring. In fact, the way this prize of the sea is conceived only adds to its mystique. It can be said that the life that created the pearl lives on through its uniqueness, elegance and charm.
           
                                          

The pearl has symbolized the rare, the beautiful and the mesmerizing for thousands of years. Its beauty and value has been recorded in history from Lord Krishna to Cleopatra.
When you see a pearl you don’t just see the colour, you see radiance, you see depth. You see different hues. These are all created through the reflection of light through the different translucent layers of the pearls. It is this magical aspect that draws people to pearls.

The other beautiful thing about pearls is that these treasures come in asymmetrical shapes, which means that they are imperfect. No two pearls are the same. The closer to a perfect sphere that one can find, the more valuable they get. The value of a pearl increases multifold by the introduction of another pearl of similar characteristic. This uniqueness of each pearl makes it special unlike any other gem.

There are so many magical aspects of the pearl that make it special that I can go on forever. It is this magic that makes me love what I do. It is this magic that we want to share with everyone. It is this magic that inspires us to create more for our customers.
 This actually leads me to another topic which I will post next time after doing some research. I’d love to share with you the history of pearls throughout the ages. Share information about its value and its life story.

Colored Pearls:Real or Artificial


Ever since my last blog,I have many a  people come and ask me whether coloured pearls are real or natural pearls?So I thought that this would make  an interesting topic for my next blog.The natural color of a pearl is a result of  a combination of several factors. The main color of  a pearl is its  body color. This body color  can be white, silver, cream-colored, gold, green, blue, or even black. Like the color of a baby depends on the parental heritage ,the color of a pearl is  determined by the type of oyster or mollusk that produces the pearl (certain types of oysters generally produce pearls of certain colors), as well as the conditions of the water. At times the type of nucleus  implanted in the oyster also  stimulates the pearl's creation.








You would be surprised  to know that some of the rarest pearls are coloured. Black pearls sourced from the Black Lip Oyster is an example of the same, A simple strand of black pearls can cost in upwards of Rs. 1 lakh. They are so gorgeous, and ooze beauty and class





It is important to know   many pearls are artificially colored. This is widely practiced incase of  freshwater pearls. The colors are artificially infused by a treatment known as dyeing, or by subjecting the pearls to irradiation. The point to be noted in this case is that these  pearls are absolutely real and natural only their color is artificial.
The demand for coloured pearls have created a market and a supply of beautiful pearls. This also allows jewelers like us to create an  exquisite and fashionable pearl jewellery with different colours to suit your moods. However you must always be careful and buy your pearls from a r jeweler of repute.
Many times I am asked , how does one  distinguish  a real pearl from an artificial bead. It is not hard to do so.The simplest method is to rub the pearl on your front teeth. If it feels grainy, it’s a real pearl, if its smooth, it plastic. Isn’t that simple ? J  Similarly an artificially coloured pearlis also born naturally hence it will also , if it doesn’t you know  it is a coloured bead.

Will await more questions from your end  , would love to answer any questions you might have.

Wishing all my readers a A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

See you all soon again in the new year – 2012.Keep smiling.

Warm Regards
