What Make Pearl Earrings Stand the Test of Time

One of the everlasting jewels of fashion accessories are pearl earrings. They have conquered time and managed to stay trendy. If you want a perfect decoration for your ears, any design enriched with these offer delicate elegance and glamour. You can wear pearl earrings, depending on the design, on almost any occasion.

When it comes to any piece of jewellery, pearls or pearl imitations can be combined with many different materials. For example, silver earrings could look wonderful if decorated with them.

Pearls can be divided into different types like: saltwater or freshwater pearls, natural or cultured pearls and half or whole. A good saltwater pearl for example, could cost a lot more than a freshwater pearl of similar size and quality. It is because an oyster produces fewer pearls and a process of nurturing a pearl with an oyster takes longer time than with a mussel. Natural pearls of course, are more expensive and valued than cultured pearls. The most popular types of pearls today are: Chinese and Japanese Akoya pearl, White and Golden South Sea pearl and Tahitian pearl also known as Black South Sea pearl.

Delicate and tender, paired with a "little black dress" only Coco Chanel could design, or a bridal garment for a "once in a life time" event, pearl earrings will enrich your looks.
