A pearl has become synonymous with love, romance and tradition. Pearls have been given as gifts for weddings and cherished as a family heirloom for decades.
The most popular pearl is white, but they do come in black and champagne pink. Pearls are one of the most intriguing of all gems, however, they are also one of the most misunderstood. Here are three tips on selecting quality pearls for your wedding day.
Luster – It is the glow of the pearl and its brilliance to the human eye. For the jewellery novice, the luster of a pearl can best be described as a combination of a high, reflective sheen on the surface of a pearl combined with an almost three-dimensional glow that seems to radiate from within the heart of a pearl.
Surface condition – The fewer the natural markings or spots on the pearl’s visible surface, the more expensive the pearl.
Shape – Round pearls are the most expensive because they are the hardest to grow. For a fine piece of jewellery, all the pearls in any piece of our jewellery should be perfectly round and matching.
