Cultured pearl necklaces are a part of any woman’s jewelry collection. Thanks to the method introduced by Japanese researcher during the late 19th century, cultured pearls are now widely available, making culture pearl jewelries such necklaces more affordable.
Just like any pearl jewelries, cultured pearl necklaces come in various style, color and design. These can come in one color or many colors. They can be stringed in one strand or multiple strands. They can be set necklaces on their own or combined with gold, silver, gems, other semi-precious stones. The possibilities are endless. It all depends on the personal preference of the wearer.
Cultured pearl necklaces need the same care as other pearl jewelries. Actually, the best way is just to keep on wearing the jewelries. If they are stored for a long time, they tend to lose their luster. The strings of pearl necklaces and bracelets should also be replaced every couple of years or so in order to avoid breakage, most jewelers offer re-stringing services.
Determining the length of cultured pearl necklaces or bracelets are also important. Although there are choker-type necklaces, the strings should not be too tight as to strangle the wearer. The length then can be as short or long as preferred. Multiple cultured pearl necklaces can even be layered and worn at the same time.
Some of the more exotic and expensive cultured pearl necklaces are made out of Tahitian, Akoya or South Sea pearls. There are two types of cultured pearls, freshwater and seawater or saltwater. The process of making pearls in both types is very similar though.
