Summer is just around the corner, and when that happens we know a special birthday is coming up! It is for one of our favorite semi precious gemstones, the pearl. Pearls are produced in pearl oysters and are part of calcium carbonate. Pearls come in many forms, such as; Black pearls (usually large black pearls produced in black oysters), Natural pearls (very rare), South Sea pearls (extremely large pearls used in necklaces and earrings), Mabe pearls (flat shaped pearls), freshwater pearls (small, shaped like rice), and cultured pearls (man made pearls). Pearls have been an exciting part of jewelry for many decades. These include the Art Deco and Victorian eras. Combined with other semi precious gemstones (including aquamarine, topaz and garnets) you have a match made in heaven! Pearls were used as beautiful accent gems for Art Deco engagement rings , and with stunning South Sea necklaces and earrings in the 1970's and 1980's. Our collection of pearl gemstones is always ethical and conflict free. Let's wish a happy birthday to our wonderful semi precious gemstone, the pearl!
Victorian Engagement Rings
Master jewelers from the Victorian era loved using pearls in their collections of Victorian engagement rings . They paired them with natural garnets residing in rosy yellow gold from the early 1900's, and it made a beautiful engagement ring. Our collection of alternative engagement rings include pearls, turquoise and garnets.
