| Paul's Jewelry offers an extensive selection of exceptional quality pearls from such lines as Mikimoto, Honora and Mastoloni. When choosing a cultured pearl strand there are several factors to consider. Examine the NACRE of the pearl; the crystalline substance secreted by an oyster to coat an irritant placed inside its shell. Nacre has the ability to absorb and reflect light thus creating the special luster and iridescence characteristic of pearls. The surface of a pearl should be satiny smooth. The presence of blemishes and irregularities lessen their value. A strand of pearls should be consistent in luster, size and color. Generally, roseate tones are quite flattering on fair skinned women and darker skin tones are enhanced by creamier hues. Another consideration is the length of the strand. A variety of lengths are available such as choker - 14" to 16", Princess - 18", Matinee - 24", and Opera - 30" to 36".
Be careful with your pearls. Their delicate nacre should be protected from harsh chemicals, hair sprays, cosmetics and perfumes. Gently wipe your pearls with mild soap and water after taking them off.
Various types of pearls are available at Paul's Jewelry, Akoya being the most popular and familiar. The South Sea cultured pearls are known for their size (1Omm and larger) and unusual silver and black tones. A variety of unique jewelry features South Sea pearls. Some of the most beautiful styles blend Black South Sea pearls with diamonds and white gold or platinum. Paul's Jewelry invites you to come in and experience the natural beauty of these intriguing gems.
