Cultured Pearls

Cultured pearls suit almost every occasion, outfit and mood. Beautiful lavender-tone cultured pearls enhance the romance of any outfit. White cultured pearls add grace and elegance to any lady’s ensemble. Available in numerous settings and forms, cultured pearls make a perfect gift item for every occasion.

Exquisitely rare, natural pearls are no longer available as they take almost ten years to form. By inserting a parasite into an oyster’s tissue, experts are able to carefully duplicate the natural phenomenon that produces natural pearls. From this process, they create the cultured pearl.

With their shape regularly monitored throughout the cultivation process, cultured pearls are more consistent in size and quality. Easily cultivated en masse, these pearls have lower production costs and are available in an increased supply.

Experts use an X-ray technique to differentiate between cultured and natural pearls. When exposed to an X-ray, the cultured pearl will show a more defined nucleus than its natural counterpart.
