Fine jewellery has been around for hundreds of years but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s old fashioned. Pearl jewellery is still very popular and has recently been making a comeback. It has been seen recently on celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss.
The type of pearl jewellery that has been making a comeback has been the necklace and the bracelet. Both provide a simple and effortlessly classy look if combined with the right outfit. Probably one of the most recognised wearer of pearls was Marilyn Monroe and wearing pearls today can give you that classic look.
A cultured pearl is one which has been created by a pearl farmer. More than 99% of pearls sold today are cultured pearls which have been grown with a helping human hand, ie By actually inserting a foreign object into the tissue of an oyster or mollusc, pearl farmers can encourage the creation of a pearl. Natural pearls are created when this happens, you guessed it, naturally!
