A Pearl Jewelry Item

A pearl pendant is a splendid work of art, it hangs on a 14 k gold chain that flashes like many miniature flashbulbs. One lovely pendant design that I find especially nice is the “baby cradle” pendant, made of sterling silver, millesimal fineness 925 or 92.5% silver and 7.5% cooper alloy. This design does resemble a type of cradle effect. In the midst of the cradle is a wonderful cream colored pearl about 8 mm in diameter. The sterling silver cradle is encrusted with cubic zirconium crystals that reflect onto the pearl itself. These pendants are used as settings for all of our many colors of fresh water pearls. The pendants are made with carefully chosen high luster and low surface blemish pearls. We sort through and categorize our pearls by its characteristics. Out of so many sorted pearls only a few will meet the standard for a showcase pendant pearl.

Purchasing wholesale freshwater pearls at trade shows and auctions are the best places to purchase loose pearls or lots as they are called in the business. With each lot of pearls there is a small percentage that will be top grade. The more lots you purchase the more high-grade pearls you will have to make high-end jewelry items.
