Classic Beauty of pearls

Pearls are naturally occurring and have found their use in cosmetics and pearl jewelry for thousands of years.

Pearls have long been considered a traditional and elegant form of ornamentation. They have taken the recognition in artwork, photographs, and fashion over the centuries and have set the standard for beauty and refinement. The luster and modest grace of the pearl is well-known.

In due course, pearls have been used in a variety of fashions. While the original use of pearls was as simple pearl jewelry, and in particular as pearl necklaces, and adornment, new uses for pearls have been created now. Beginning in the 13th and 14th century, pearls made a leap from basic jewelry to fashion accessory. Both men and women used pearls as decorations for their clothing, and the use of pearls in this manner was a patent statement of wealth.

In the Americas, natives began harvesting pearls, and the uses spread further. Pearl pendants and pearl earrings were worn by both genders, and pearls became adornments on clothing. Pearls were furthermore used as a form of tribute, or money, and the shells of mussels that produce the pearls were commonly used as armbands and gaming pieces.

Pearl jewelry is classic in nature and elegant in design. The use of pearl accessories best speaks a certain merit of class and exquisite taste.
