The story of black pearls
Pearl jewellery is without doubt the most popular choice for wedding jewellery. Pearl has always been known as the ultimate symbol for beauty, purity and elegance. Pearls have been loved by women for as long as fashion existed. For the longest time, only white pearls were appreciated and sought after, however starting from the first part of the 20th century, black pearl jewellery came into fashion, people slowly started to appreciate its mysterious multi-colour overtone and unique beauty. The start of the story was very interesting: a smart merchandiser positioned black pearls firmly in the highest class jewellery, selling them only fitted with diamonds and gold for very high prices. This has helped to turn people’s perception around black pearls and seemingly effortlessly, black pearls climbed straight to the top of the market niche. In most wedding jewellery collection, pearl necklace and pearl earrings set are the popular choice, while many ladies add in for pearl brooches and tiara as well. Pearl ring is a less likely choice for engagement ring, however they are extremely popular just as special treats.

We are very lucky to live in a time that so many resources are made available to everyone. Even the choice of affordable pearl jewellery – which are much cheaper than 100 years ago thanks to pearl culturing. In fact the price difference is astonishing. Pearls used to be an extreme form of luxury only for the upper class. Today most women can afford to treat herself with a few items of freshwater pearls. Better still, the birth of faux pearl jewellery introduced the ‘pearl look’ to even more people and occasions. Today a lot of fashion clothes are designed with rich adornment of faux pearls, offering a classy look without customers having to break their purses. Of course, real pearl lovers would still go for real pearls, and they are affordable anyway. It is easy to tell the difference between the two: fake pearl jewellery are much shinier than real pearls and the feel to the skin is also different – fake pearl jewellery do not have the natural warmth and tenderness that comes with real pearls. Teenagers and younger women with less financial means, are big buyers of fake pearl jewellery. In fact there’s a subtle different between ‘fake pearl jewellery’ and ‘faux pearl jewellery’. The nuance is that, fake pearl jewellery are made of pastic – beads that are coated with a shiny pearl like agent. These pearls usually have a slippery surface which feel marble like and much lighter. Faux pearls, or stimulation pearls, on the other hand, are actually made with ‘whipped up’ oyster shell powder. These pearl products are a middle point between fake pearls and real pearls, as they are made of the same material as real pearls, but not naturally grown out of living oysters. Faux pearls are a popular alternative to real pearls in large sizes – they stay similar prices in sizes up to 15mm while freshwater pearl prices increase double or even triple, for each increased millimetre in size.
Production of cultured freshwater pearl: An Asian review
The history of pearl culturing originates in Asia. Countries like India, China and Indonesia etc. are the countries where the use of pearl started much eatrlier than other nations. Among those countries India and China are the two countries where the pearl hunting started as early as 206 BC during the periods of Han Dynasty in China. Indian pearl hunting was much older even than the Chinese one. With the expansion of the Aryan kingdom nearly around 1000 BC ago, the use of pearl was there in India. Even Alexander invaded India in 326 BC only to acquire those precious gold and pearl items present with the Indian kings at that time. Even today from Indian Gulf of Mannar to Seram pearl farm in Indonesia, Asia has a large base of both natural as well as cultured pearls. Like the bases for natural pearl Asia also possesses a large base of cultured pearls. From cultured seawater pearl to cultured freshwater pearl Asia has all to its production bag. The trend of cultured freshwater pearl started from Asia itself. It was started by Japan. Japan cultivated whole freshwater pearl in the Lake Biwa by using the Biwa pearl mussels. The Biwa pearl mussel scientifically known as Hyriopsis schlegeli was so successful in producing freshwater pearl that even today they are known or referred simply as Biwa. Though Japan introduced this trend of cultured freshwater pearl, it does not hold the number one position in producing cultured freshwater pearl anymore. China is the top country in the production of cultured freshwater pearl with a yearly commercial production of 1500 tons. China now uses three different varieties of Hyriopsis to maintain this number one position. These are Hyriopsis Schlegeli, Hyriopsis cumingii and heterosis from different mussels.
The formation of a pearl takes place inside the mussel. A mollusk with hard shell produces the natural pearl naturally when some foreign irritating microscopic element enters into the mantle folds of the mollusk. The mollusk releases some strata of nacre to obstruct the growth of that foreign microscopic particle inside the shell. And a pearl is ultimately formed by these gradual layers of nacre primarily released to block that foreign particle. In case of a cultured freshwater pearl grafting method is used. Here a technician inserts some foreign particle into the mollusk with the smallest possible incision mostly on the upper valve. Then the mollusk reacts naturally to that particle and forms the pearl, the cultured pearl. Mostly a single freshwater mollusk was used to produce 50 peals. And the species used was Cristaria Plicata. But with the lesser number of grafting the quality of each pearl derived was better than a 50 grafting pearl. So, sustaining with this species was getting tougher from the commercial angle. Keeping this in view China shifted to another species of mussel named Hyriopsis Cumingii, which was a grand success in the cultured pearl industry history and led China to its number one position.
Jewellery with Freshwater Pearl and Seawater Pearl – The difference
With the advancement of science and technology, almost everything has its two versions. One is the costly original version and the next one is either the nearest possible alternate or an imitated version. And when it comes to the pearl jewellery, you would be experiencing more than two versions of pearls present in the market. The first type is the original natural pearl, the pearl found deep inside sea beds. Since these pearls are found in sea, so are also known as seawater pearls. Then there are cultured pearls with almost same qualities except some inner formation and thickness of the luster. Since these cultured pearls are farmed in freshwater so are known as cultured freshwater pearl. There is also an availability of imitation pearls with faux zirconium coating and other materials. They are the lowest quality pearls widely used in cheaper imitated jewelleries. So, the first thing that differentiates freshwater pearl jewellery from seawater pearl one is simply the type of pearl used. And second immediate difference is the price tag associated with it. The jewellery made of seawater pearl would definitely cost you more than the other one with cultured freshwater pearl. Then there would be difference among the cultured and natural freshwater pearled jewelleries.
The main difference among seawater and freshwater pearl is the formation of the pearl that takes place inside the pearl producing mussel. A shelled mollusk naturally produces the pearl when some irritating microscopic particle gets trapped within the mollusk’s mantle folds. The mollusk secretes some layers of nacre to block that microscopic particle totally. These gradual layers of nacre in turn form a pearl. But a cultured freshwater pearl or any other cultured pearl is produced by using grafting method. The process of grafting starts with choosing a suitable donor mussel and cutting a strip of tissue from the mantle. The strip of tissue derived is then cut into squares of 3 mm. These squares are then inserted by the technicians into mussels with the smallest possible incisions on the upper valves. In this way the freshwater pearl is cultured for mostly commercial purposes. Mostly the cultivation of freshwater pearl is rooted in China and Japan. China and Japan together comprises to be the largest producer of freshwater pearl worldwide. Almost eighty three percent of cultured freshwater pearls come from China and Japan.
So, whether it is a natural freshwater pearl or a cultured freshwater pearl, it always differs from seawater pearl from the point of formation. This difference ultimately brings the difference in quality of the jewelleries where they are used. This difference in quality leads to the difference in price tags. So, when you are in the market searching for any fresh water pearl jewellery, be sure that a jewellery where natural freshwater is used would cost you a little higher than the jewellery made of cultured freshwater pearl. And obviously the seawater pearled jewellery would be costlier than any type of freshwater pearled jewellery.
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.
Pearl Bracelets
Close your eyes and imagine yourself wearing pearl jewellery. What do you see? You might be dreaming of wearing a pearl necklaces or a pair of earrings. But have you ever dreamt of wearing a bracelet? No. It is because among all the jewelleries, bracelet is one that is discovered very late as a fashion statement and hence it comes into our minds less quickly. But ever since Stone Age, human beings have been wearing various ornaments around their wrists made of bones, animal skins or wood. Bracelet or a simple lining of an animal skin around the wrist to mark something was there among our ancestors. But it was a very casual thing. Even today in most of the countries a bracelet somehow is considered to be a casual style jewellery. Till late 70s it was not in the scene of bridal jewellery. Gradually it found its position among formal dressing in big occasions. By 90s almost one in nine people in UK wore a bracelet. Bracelet even made its way into bridal jewellery. And now it’s an essential element of bridal jewellery regardless of whether you use platinum diamond studded jewellery or traditional pearl jewellery.
Bracelet now plays an important role in wedding jewellery. From traditional pearl jewellery arrangements to an elegant platinum based jewellery set, bracelet is there in the scene. Earlier bracelet under pearl jewellery section was made only of white natural pearls. Along with the passage of time more affordable cultured pearl came into the picture. Colours also started to varied, from the original white-only to black, dark blue, pink, purple and golden, etc. With these changes in the pearl jewellery industry bracelet and its designs also evolved accordingly. Just have a look at the range of pearl bracelets available at Carla Pearls. You will find varieties from a luxurious looking multi strand pink pearl bracelet to amazing combinations of black pearls and gemstones. Again the use of other stones and gems like amethyst, jade, citrine, turquoise with pearls are abundantly available in the market. But for a special occasion like a wedding, a bracelet made of white round freshwater pearls is an absolute classic. Platinum, gold and silver bracelets are also available in the market. Zirconia bracelets are also available on the market. The zirconia bracelets come in a wide range of prices from $15 to $ 200. Depending on your budget you can choose anyone from them. In comparison to this, pearl bracelets are relatively costly. A simple ‘Blue Candy’ pearl and gemstone bracelet from Carla Pearls made of round white freshwater pearls with oval blue turquoise available would cost about £50, however as natural stones, such a bracelet would last you a lifetime, whereas zirconias with plated base that come at a lower cost would soon start to lose colour. Other variants are also available in the Carla Pearls online store where the combination of different coloured and shaped pearls is showcased. For example one beautiful bracelet you would come across while having a look at their collection is named ‘Miss Coco’. It is a beautiful combination of oval black pearls with rectangular agate stones and brown crystal. This piece is very elegant and classy, suitable for chic occasions, with an evening dress.
How to choose freshwater pearls – Layman’s guide for men looking to buy a lovely gift for their loved one
'Parfum' pearl and gemstone necklace
So, it’s your first wedding anniversary and traditionally freshwater pearl jewellery is a great choice of gift to your beloved one. Choosing jewellery for the girlfriend or wife could be an intimidating and confusing process for a man. You don’t need to worry about it because it also happens to men in their 50s when they have to celebrate the 30th wedding anniversary called the ‘pearl anniversary’, as pearl jewellery is the most natural choice for this special occasion. However you do not need to worry: there are a lot of guidance information available on the internet as well as a wide range of choices both in retail shops and in online pearl jewellery stores. From natural seawater pearl to imitation shell pearls you can select anything according to your budget line. For most people the best choice is freshwater pearl, as it is much more affordable than saltwater (sea) pearls with little difference, while being much nicer than imitation (faux) pearls. Cultured freshwater pearl is found all over the world with different price range. This difference in price is there because of the monopoly in production of freshwater pearl. The production of cultured freshwater pearl started from Lake Biwa in Japan, as Japan was the first country to invent pearl culturing technique. But due to various environmental as well as practical issues the production of cultured freshwater pearls in Japan gradually decreased and finally Japan lost the number one position in cultured freshwater pearl production to China. China came into the picture later but has become the number one nation in production of cultured freshwater pearl. Japan has moved on to differentiating itself through producing larger size pearls, usually those more than 8mm. Currently 73% of the cultured freshwater pearl worldwide come from China alone. The US also produces a good number of cultured pearls. So, first step to finding best quality cultured freshwater pearl is to check its origin.
Authentic pearls (including sea water pearl and freshwater pearl) come in many different shapes as they are naturally grown inside oysters. The classic choices of shape are round or baroque, although other shapes like off-round, button, treadrop, pear, stick, coin and oval are also available. This allows a great variety in the pearl jewellery industry. Noticing the shape of pearls is the second step towards finding something great for your loved one: consider the normal dressing style of your girlfriend or wife – does she like elegant, classy and formal dressing, or something more daring and creative? While round and baroque pearls look great with classy outfits; the other more creative shapes such as coin, stick or teardrop would suit those with a differentiating taste nicely. Sometimes a fashion designer pearl jewellery that combines pearls and other gemstones would also be a great choice.
White is the most usual colour for all the naturally formed seawater pearls. Also the majority of the freshwater pearl naturally comes in white or beige. In rare occasions, black coloured pearl is also found naturally, however these often come with a multi-colour overtone (the reflex on the surface of the pearl). The latest pearl culturing techniques allow people to add artificial colouring to the oyster that are growing pearls, fully integrating the colours into the pearls. Colours like pink, blue, brown, purple and even a green are available on the market. The colours that are ‘fed’ to oysters usually come in more subtle shapes while pearls dyed after being formed could have much brighter colours. There is little difference in quality between these two colouring techniques so you do not need to worry too much. Just consider the colour that suits her the best. If you want to make double sure of the quailty, you can try and scrpe the surface of the pearl with a little force. A trace of powder will appear and after you wipe it away, the surface of an authentic pearl would stay completely untouched. This brings us through the third step of our guide.

There is one more factor helping in choosing an appropriate cultured freshwater pearl, and this is the grade that is being given to pearls according to their quality. Pearls differ from one another with the grading system of A, AA and AAA. AAA represents the finest of quality and A represents a quality of lowest degree. Sometimes markings like A+ or AA+ are using to offer more subtle differentiation; however if a retailer marks his pearls as ‘AAAA’ or ‘AAA+’, it would be regarded as lack of taste and a sign of dishonesty by his competitors in the pearl industry as he would seem to be trying to trick his customers into believing that his products are the best. There should be no difference between pearls with a triple-A rating as their surfaces must be all intact.
Finally, before you buy from a high street or online retailer, have a search around the internet for customer reviews. Reference from other buyers are always of great help. In this aspect, online jewellery stores might have more review information on the internet than high street retailers. Always compare the prices before you buy. Hope you have a great special occasion!

Wedding Dress: let’s get the celebration started!
What makes a wedding special? Is this the decoration of whole the venue? Or the dresses and jewelleries? Or a heart-warming speech from the bride’s father? Probably and mostly the specialty is the fact that wedding is once in a life time occasion. And most other things related to it like the decoration, dress, bridal jewellery only compliment in this process. Because wedding is an occasion that comes only once in a lifetime (if all goes well) so other complimentary things like wedding gown, bridal jewellery, the bouquet, the bride’s veil, bridesmaid’s dress and jewellery are all very important in this occasion.
Though the main important factor in a wedding is the couple about to get married, yet there are important and very important things like the wedding gown and the bridal jewellery. Traditionally brides all over the world, irrespective of culture, religion, language and society, prefer to be most beautifully dressed and a bride is the centre of attention in a wedding ceremony. Depending on the religion, society, geographical difference, culture a wedding gown and bridal jewellery can vary accordingly. There is always a good piece of difference between the western wedding dresses and eastern wedding dresses as well as bridal jewelleries. Western wedding dresses are traditionally white whereas the eastern counterparts are mostly red. White is the colour of mourning for some oriental countries and using white in a wedding dress is not even dreamt in these nations. Even in France till the marriage of Mary Queen of Scots with Francois II, white was considered as inauspicious. It was the official colour of mourning. But with the wedding dresses worn by Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Victoria in colour white the use of white in wedding dresses came into being in France. In western countries dark colours are not preferred for wedding dress. Colours like red and black are mostly avoided in wedding dresses. Black is the colour for mourning and red is usually associated with eroticism and even prostitution.
Most of the wedding dresses in China, India and Vietnam are red in colour, the traditional colour of good luck and auspiciousness in Asia. Nowadays, many women prefer not to wear the red and choose other colours. In modern Chinese weddings, the bride usually wears the white Western dress and then changes from a white gown to a red gown later in the day. Golden ornaments are also popular among Chinese brides. In India the traditional the traditional wedding dress is a sari and lehenga choli accompanied by handmade bridal jewellery in gold. In Vietnam, the traditional wedding dress is Ao Dai and Vietnamese brides prefer lesser amount of bridal jewellery. In Japan, brides use to wear three four traditional wedding dresses throughout the ceremony named Kimono in white and other colours. In Indonesia, Javanese people wear Kebaya as their wedding dress.
In America the indigenous peoples like Hopi, Pueblo, Delawares, Klamath, Modoc, and Yurok etc. have different traditions in wearing a wedding dress. Some of them use natural materials whereas others use animal skins as a tradition.
Wherever you go, whatever you prefer, you would always find wedding dresses and accompanying bridal jewellery at its vast differences across the world. But main theme attached to a wedding dress is that the Bride is the centre of attention irrespective of any difference available worldwide.
How Hollywood influences bridal jewellery trends
Hollywood has been playing a very important role in guiding fashion of all sorts. Ever since the days of Theda Bara, Hollywood actresses have been there to bring fashion trends to the jewellery industry. From vintage jewellery to bridal jewellery, Hollywood has its own influence on each one of them. Every single actress of Hollywood has a different quality of elegance and beauty and so do the fashion statements they bear. If someone likes very bold dressing and jewelleries, the immediate next one might be a fan of simplicity and conservative looks. If one actress wears and displays only Lorraine Schwartz’s, the next one is wearing Loree Rodkin’s. Actually it is a common thing to get difference in style opinions from different actresses in Hollywood, not only because of their competitions but also because of the fact that no two persons on the earth have the same taste and thoughts.
There have always been a lot of competitions among Hollywood stars to look most beautiful by not only with their get up but also with the dressing and jewellery they use. Whatever they use or wear should be best in order to maintain their status. And this little catty factor leads to the introduction of new ranges of dresses and jewelleries almost every single day. In special occasions like the Oscars, Canes Film Festival and Golden Globe, this competition among the actresses is much more visible than that of any other period of the year. Just to mention the competition between Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan; they are ultimate rivals. From a simple party to an occasion like Canes they take care of this rivalry in their actions, dresses, and jewelleries. So, you can make a guess here; how competitive the wedding ceremonies would be for two rivals like Paris and Lohan! Nothing would be left behind in such a rivalry whether it is the wedding gown or the bridal jewellery that the bride would be wearing.
In the Canes Film Festival in France 2008, Paris Hilton was wearing a beautiful chandelier designed diamond necklace. Mariah Carey was wearing a massive diamond chopped Y necklace. Actress Barbara Mori of Kites wore a beautiful diamond choker necklace. Like Canes there are other occasions like Screen Actors Guild Award where the showcase of dresses and jewelleries are natural things. So, all the Hollywood actresses, regardless of the occasion contribute to the fashion industry. Whether it’s the latest gown or the jewellery, actresses contribute through the way they style and show up. Hollywood actresses are also responsible for the changes in various traditional styles and designs prevailing in the society. Even the wedding dress and the bridal jewellery are influenced by them. Remember the film Bride Wars, starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. This film is an ultimate presentation of Hollywood influence in bridal jewellery. Both the actresses Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson were wearing bridal jewellery by Tiffany & Co. Hudson was showing a five carat Tiffany Novo diamond engagement ring and Anne was displaying a Tacori Blue Bridal hairpin. The hairpin was specially designed for that film with five faceted blue jade petals covering a white sterling silver topaz. After this film the Tacori Blue hairpin was in much demand. And even now it is available only by special order. The engagement ring in two carat rose cut black diamond and platinum wore by Carmen Electra, Anne Hathaway’s Blue Tacori Haipin, “Slumdog Millionaire” heroine Freida Pinto’s classic Martin Katz eight carat cushion cut diamond drop earrings, the 22 carat pear shaped royal blue drop earrings of diamond wore by Kate Winslet at SAG Award are some of the designs and styles in jewellery fashion, brought and introduced by Hollywood actresses from time to time.
