ABOUT PEARLS
The history of pearls traces back before ancient Roman times, where pearls -
much like today - were symbols of wealth and prosperity. Pearls are cultivated
throughout the world, primarily in China and Japan. Pearls come in many
varieties, including Akoya pearls, Freshwater pearls, White South Seas pearls,
and Tahitian pearls. The vast majority of pearls today are cultured pearls,
which are grown using live oysters and are essentially identical in appearance
to natural pearls.
While pearls are commonly used in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, they are
also used in designing custom art pieces and decoration. Mikimoto is famed for
creating pearl "sculptures" and replicas of famous buildings.
Pearls vary drastically in price and quality. It is important to only purchase
pearls from reputable online stores. Today pearls are worn by both men and
women.
