Stunning look by pearl bracelets

The stunning look created by merely wearing pearl bracelets can depend on the color, shape and type.


The loose pearls use to make bracelets come in the colors of rainbow. The traditional shades of white, black and gray however are more common. The selection of shapes is as myriad: round, oval, symmetrical, half-pearls among others. The round ones are the most popular since their sizes and shapes are more uniform.


Loose pearls can be stringed together in one strand or a number of strands to create a pearl bracelet. Single-strand bracelets are simple yet elegant. Pearl bracelets can be stringed by professionals, although a growing number of women have learned to string their own pearls.


The trendiest pearl bracelets are the so-called ‘coin pearls’, which are cultured using coin-shaped irritants implanted in oysters. These are quite lustrous since they come with thick nacre. This takes a longer time to create.


Pearl bracelets look stunning also when combined with crystals, silver and other gems or semi-precious stones. Multicolored pearl bracelets are very popular among the young ones, while single-colored ones remain a classic. Many also prefer both bracelets and necklaces to come in similar design.


A huge collection of pearl bracelets is available in online shops, pages upon pages of exquisitely designed freshwater or cultured pearl bracelets. But nothing beats actually feeling the pearls and trying on the bracelets in jewelry shops. The jewelers can even offer expert advice on which type is the best and how to care for the pearl bracelets.
