Beautiful Cultured Freshwater Pearls from private pearl beds. The Supplier we get our pearls from, we have been dealing with for many years. We guarantee they are natural and quality pearls. The Pearls are attached using Jeweler's Epoxy. These are not plastic pearls or ones that have problems or what is referred to as potato looking; though not discounting them; we have seen some very beautiful ones over time. Even so, these are very nice pearls and natural except for the dying. The white is possibly bleached which is also very common with pearls. Both treatments are very stable and should not be an issue.

As you can see from the photos, this is truly a nice array of Freshwater Pearls. We guarantee their authenticity and have tested them. The Pearls range from 7.5-9mm giving a nice display. The Pearls can be taken off the chain and used on others, used together; or just worn as 1 Pearl. The options are up to the user. The Gemstone is not overly large at 7.5-9mm (approximately 1/4" in diameter (remember 25.40mm to 1 Inch)) but they are nice sizes for pearls with few surface markings if any. We grade them AA-AAA which is on a scale of A-AAA. Originally upon looking at this grouping, we were going to sell them with individual chains but decided on the bunching as they really do complement each other well. We trust you will agree!

Pearl Care
As with the most popular Jeweler's Insurance agency, Jeweler's Mutual, we recommend the same care for most stones and your jewelry; including these pearls. Use warm water, a soft tooth brush, and a mild dish detergent that do not contain dying or bleaching agents (Blue Dawn recommended) and then polish up. For a more through cleaning take to a qualified jeweler and disclose any known treatments etc. that your gemstones may have. If you use Tarnish Removers, try to be careful to not get it on your pearls. Ultra Sonic and Steam cleaning are not suggested safe for this gemstone.

Rated at 2.5-4 on the Moh's Level of Mineral Hardness this gemstone is not suggested for everyday wear so keep it protected from scratching. This is very soft so please take care of them.

Keep in a cool dark place when not using. We recommend not subjecting for extended periods to sunlight, or high humidity locations as Swimming Pools, Spas, etc. We do not recommend swimming in public pools with this gemstone on particular in chlorinated waters; which may include jacuzzi. Ocean or freshwater swimming should be fine though. Pearls are quite fond of cool A/C in the summer, just like we humans are and do not like to be subjected to high heat or lots of sun.

Pearl Facts
These are not plastic pearls or ones that have problems or potato looking. These are very nice pearls and natural except for the dying with few surface markings. Peacock as they are known, or Peacock Black are actually not Black Pearls at all but a deep purple that resembles black. They can come in a variety of shades showing varies purple hues and quite beautiful; though at times expensive, depending on size and quality; in a nice strand.

The sixteenth century in England is better known as the Pearl Age, indicating that wearing pearls showed prestige and class by those who wore pearls at that time. We also have a set of these pearls for our own personal collections. That will tell you a lot. They are nice pearls and very pretty in person.

Pearls started becoming more fashionable in the 1900s and particularly the 1920s following the manufacturing of Cultured Pearls by Mikimoto in 1893; a Japanese Noodle maker at the time.

As time progressed larger necklaces, usually worn in strands were around 60 inches or longer with them shortening up as time goes on. Getting shorter and shorter. The Roaring 20s as they call it, was quite popular with people wearing long strands of pearls; though not as popular in today's age.

Pearls also bring out the colors in people's eyes as well; such as a Blue Necklace or even a pendant; making colored pearls quite popular yet elegantly stylish. In today's world you can get any type of color in most pearls now days; you name the color; if they don't have it, it can be made. This is not to say that all Colored Pearls are fake. On the contrary, dying a Freshwater Cultured Pearl as the one sold, is no less natural than one that has not been dyed.

There are sold natural ones, normally referred to as Button Pearls. True Round and other pearls can run you into the 100s of dollars and even thousands. And finding acceptable matches at any larger size; is a problem in itself as the pearl must stay in the oyster for longer periods of time before it's harvested. Environmental issues, natural, and otherwise, create extreme problems for natural pearls the longer they remain in the shell. As such they will be extremely expensive. Finding natural pearls with few surface markings, even Freshwater Pearls, may seem easy to some, but they are not the norm. And matching them to sets, Chains, Necklaces, Pendants, etc., even more difficult. However, once completed, like this nice set you truly have a treasure.

Keep your pearls safe and protected and they can last you a very long time. Jeweler's Epoxy used in the construction of this piece.
