Find Pearl Earrings

Pearl earrings are classic pieces of jewellery that can complete any timeless gem collection. Pearls are naturally occurring stones that are created under the sea deep in the heart of mollusks, such as oysters. Formed in the soft tissue within these creatures, pearls are essentially crystals made up of calcium carbonate that is deposited in circular layers. Over time, these gems are formed in varying sizes, depending on the host and age.

Pearls that match precisely are hard to find, since they are often pulled from various types of mollusks. Those that do match perfectly are extremely rare and can cost in upwards of $1 million for the world’s finest specimens. Most customers, however, are looking to spend anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. You will find various types of pearl necklaces and earrings. Freshwater, black, saltwater and nacreous pearls can all be found set in hoop or solitaire earrings. Prices vary by size and kind, but affordable options can be found for every budget.

Identifying Authentic Pearl Earrings

Because of their extreme popularity throughout the world, pearls are often imitated, but rarely duplicated. Certified gemologists can identify these stones using x-ray techniques to identify natural calcium rings found only in naturally occurring gems. The value is determined by size, shape and quality, but luster is perhaps the most important factor. You can shop online at our store for many gifts and collectible items.
