Freshwater Pearl Pendants - Charm of Pearls

Pearl pendants are popular among many different people but freshwater pearls are one of the most popular pearls because mainly of cost among other factors. A simple silver freshwater pearl can be a charm of a pearl at a very low cost at sometimes under $38. This is simply one of the best deals out there when looking for pearl pendants. Instead of spending over $2000 for a beautiful Tahitian pearl set in platinum one could use freshwater pearl and save a bundle as this is one of the charms of this type of pearl.

Freshwater pearl pendants are one of the most popular styles of pearls on this world and most people have at least one pearl pendant in their jewelry box. Probably most of these pearls are freshwater but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing, it’s just what it is and what is popular among the different types of pearls on the market today.

Freshwater pearl Earrings - "Grace and Sophistication"

One of the most successful pearl retailers I know in mainland China usually wears a beautiful white freshwater round necklace that looks better than most south sea pearl necklaces most people have the pleasure to see. Lingling from Lingling pearls in Beijing and Shanghai has one of the prettiest white freshwater necklaces that one can see and the size is quite impressive as well.

It radiates grace and sophistication when she wears these large 12-13mm round freshwater pearls. But of course she has to match her necklace with a pair of 12-13mm white freshwater pearls that look better than most White South Sea pearls as well. Her freshwater pearl earrings are one of the nicest pairs of earrings that just say sophistication and grace so simply and delicate. Freshwater pearls don’t have just be simple 7mm studs. These can be large freshwater pearls that are unparallel in size and beauty.

Pearl Pendant Varieties of Pearls

A variety of pearls can be used to make many different styles of Pearl pendants. With rose gold chocolate Tahitian pearls and lavender pearls seem to work the best. With black Tahitian pearls white or yellow gold seems to suit it much better as opposed to using pink gold to make the pearl pendant. It’s such that certain varieties of pearls work better with certain varieties of gold and semi precious stones that are used to make the overall design.

So it is with any type of gemstone but perhaps especially with Pearl pendants as the pearl is a very soft glow to begin with. Understanding this soft glow will help when choosing your choice of pearl pendant and metal used with the pearl. Pearls are not the intense brilliance of diamonds but rather the soft glow that is seen with pearls. Even freshwater pearls dressed up in a beautiful setting can make a dramatic impression to anyone that loves pearls.

Akoya Pearl Earrings - An Exquisite Choice of Jewelry

The most classic of pearls on the market is unquestionably the Akoya pearl. This is the oldest pearl to be cultured in modern times and is still very popular among pearl lovers worldwide. Large sizes always go for a premium but medium sizes are more popular and affordable to most consumers of these pearls.

Akoya pearl earrings are usually set in 14k or 18k yellow gold in studs or in a simple dangling style. Sometimes akoya pearls are mixed in with freshwater pearls to give a little more color to the pearl jewelry. Most of the popular sizes are six or seven millimeter round shape for the akoya earrings. Anything over eight millimeter starts to become very expensive as this size is mostly cultivated in Japan and is quite rare and pricey. There are even nine millimeter pearls on the market but these are extremely expensive and are usually not seen in jewelry stores.

Classical Pearl Jewellery

The freshwater pearl pendant is the best deal when purchasing a less expensive pearl. Tahitian or south sea pearls can be nearly 300% more costly than freshwater pearls. Finding bigger sizes of freshwater pearls are not that hard in any means. Any jewelry who describes the best thing about a freshwater pendant, would say the freshwater pearl has outlasting quality. Different shapes of the pearl on a setting will bring personal satisfaction.

Tear drop shapes and large round shapes are a few of the choices for the pearl. Settings are mostly done in 14k gold either in white, yellow, or rose gold. This piece of jewelry can be worn every day. Pink or cream colors are among the best for showing the true natural color of the pearl. In ways it is such simple pendant, with star like features that will turn heads at every corner.

Freshwater Pearl Necklace

A freshwater pearl necklace is probably one of the best deals going for pearl jewelry in the world. You can get a nice size, near round freshwater pearl strand that will cost a fraction of what Tahitian pearls would. Also, now days, freshwater pearls are getting bigger and bigger so that people can buy freshwater pearls that are bigger than or just as big as most Tahitian pearls on the market today.

Another nice feature that freshwater pearls have it that they are 99% nacre in density as opposed to have a shell nucleolus. This means that freshwater pearls have the potential to last much longer than Tahitian pearls so that they can passed on for generation to generation for many years to come. It’s really hard to beat a beautiful lavender or pink freshwater near round strand on the neck of a lovely woman. Freshwater pearls would be one the most affordable and prettiest choices.
