Is Freshwater Pearl ‘fresh’?
What would you prefer – a fresh rose or a fake one? Definitely you would go for the fresh one. A fresh rose has a more subtle look and comes with its natural fragrance. Likewise, you might ask yourself ‘what is freshwater pearl fresh?’ Yes, this might be the question if you really do not know anything about pearl as a gemstone. A freshwater pearl is called so as because it is either found naturally or harvested in freshwater, as opposed to sea salt water. Cultured freshwater pearls are the most common type of pearl found on the pearl jewellery market and are grown in freshwater oysters. This kind of pearl is appreciated thanks to its affordable prices and excellent quality. Freshwater pearl can give you the proper lustre and quality that you generally want for a special gift. Regardless of the occasion for which you purchase this freshwater pearl item, it is there to deliver the charm and grace. Do also consider the rating of the pearls: A to AAA, with AAA standing for the best quality ones. If you have a limited budget, even A+ rating pearls would be reasonable choices as long as they look nice on photos and are sold by an established jewellery retailer or online store. A good choice of pearl jewellery online store would be Carla Pearls, which offers very good quality pearls at reasonable prices.
Although colours have nothing to do with real ‘freshness’ of the pearls, they do add to the look. Lighter colours do give a ‘fresher look’ to the jewellery and are suitable for any happy occasions from a night out to a friendly get-together. Dark colours such as deep blue or black in pearls however, brings you a more formal and mysterious atmosphere. These colours are great choices to accompany evening dresses, for formal occasions.
Next thing to gauge the freshness is the shape. Though pearls are widely available in almost all the shapes and sizes, yet the most classic choices are usually round or baroque shapes. The coin pearls are also great for a fresh look. These give a more fresh look than others ones as they allow the lustre to be better appreciated. Pear or stick shaped ones fits best for earrings. You can always find these types of round or near round shapes of freshwater pearls with almost all the online stores of good repute like Carla Pearls.
The next thing to determine the freshness of freshwater pearl as gift is to look at the surface and the lustre. A good quality pearl is always more shiny than less good ones. If you look at them closely you could also get a feel of the thickness of the nacre – the thicker the better as it would be more enduring with the environment. And it also comes with a blemish free smooth overtone on the surface. You can easily find out these two factors with naked eyes. You really need to be put your heart in the selection of the jewellery to make your lady smile. For example the first wedding anniversary is the most ‘fresh’ one to celebrate, so why not choose a freshwater pearl jewellery item? You can never go wrong with pearls: they are a ‘must-have’ for a lady with great taste and go beautifully with almost anything. The lustre of a good strand of pearls could last a lifetime.
