Our Pearls

We offer both cultured freshwater and simulated pearls in our stylish rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Since wild pearls are extremely rare, cultured freshwater pearls make up the majority of pearls currently on the market. Pearls naturally occur in a variety of colors and can also be dyed. Our pearls are available in black, cream, gray, peacock blue, and white.

They are smooth, inexpensive, and often weigh less than authentic pearls. They can be made from mother-of-pearl, coral, conch shell, or coated glass. They are visually indistinguishable from real pearls. Whichever type of pearl you choose, with the right care, these beautiful gems will last generations.

Care instructions: clean with a soft cloth containing water and mild dish soap, if necessary. Rinse, then dry. Avoid soaking pearls in water, as it will weaken the thread. Never use harsh abrasives, chemicals, vinegar, lemon, or baking soda on genuine pearls. These substances can erode and damage a pearl's surface.

Benefits & History of Pearls

Highly valued for centuries, pearls have become a metaphor for something rare and cherished. Their timeless appeal has famously attracted attention from Coco Chanel, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Marilyn Monroe. Pearl is the birthstone of June and the traditional stone for 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries. As a symbol of class and romance, pearl jewelry makes a thoughtful gift for any occasion.

In Greek mythology, pearls are a symbol of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and were said to be derived from her tears. Most cultivated pearls are harvested from freshwater mussels in lakes and rivers in China—where pearls were once presented as gifts to Chinese royalty as early as 2300 BC. Some people believe that pearls have metaphysical benefits and healing properties, and that they provide a sense of calmness.
