The timeless jewelry that speaks of elegance and beauty is none other than the pearl necklace. It is the only jewelry that never goes out of fashion and can be worn on all types of occasion. It can be match with any kind of clothing may it be formal or just plain casual.

Pearl is the birth stone of June. That is why most brides prefer to wear it especially if they are June brides. It gives out the impression of simplicity and chastity. The pureness of pearls radiates from the bearer.

Pearls used to be very rare and at the same time expensive. Nowadays, there are the so-called cultured pearls already which make the once so expensive now an affordable jewelry.

The pearl necklace usually comes in a various styles. One of which is the bib which is made up of several strands of pearls in various lengths. The Collar or also known as the dog collar is made up of multiple strands of pearls which are worn on the neck higher than usual.

There is also the choker. It is quite similar to collar but the worn lower on the neck. Usually it is just 14 to 16 inches long. The princess type of necklace on the other hand is the most common length of pearl necklaces. It is worn which lies slightly below the neck.

The matinee type of necklace is worn mostly during the semi-formal occasions. It matches very well with suits and dresses. The opera necklace is the one used for formal occasions like the evening gowns. It usually falls below the bust line.

The last type of necklace is the rope which is the longest among all pearl necklaces. It can be worn by doubling or knotting it. There are rope necklaces which have multiple clasps which are use to shorten the strands.

The pearls that are used as necklace can sometimes have the same size. Or they can be styled or graduated with a much larger pearl on the center and then the succeeding smaller pearls will run on the back on each side to the clasp. Whichever style you choose, good matching is very important both for fashion or beauty reasons and as well as for the value.

There are six factors which add up to the value or price of a pearl which are surface texture, luster, shape, nacre thickness, color, and size.

Pearls achieve their most distinctive beauty which comes from the reflection of light through the layers of crystalline nacre. The transparent nacre provides the deep shine and the high reflection. The luster is the essence of beauty of all pearls. A qualitative pearl will emit a brilliant and equal reflection with fine radiance.

The reflection of the pearl surface gives a dominant or prevailing color of pearls. The overtone is the deeper light reflected in which it draws the innermost color of the pearl.

The light shade pearls are cream, white and even golden in shade. The most valuable are white with association of pink and silver colors. On the other hand, the most fetish darker shade pearls are the black with association of green or blue colors.

The shape is also essential. The perfect round shape with a very smooth surface pearls are the most qualitative. It should have a very few imperfections.

There are different types of cultured pears. One of which is the Classic Akoya pearls. Another is the large black Tahitian pearls. Both of these pearls grow in salt water ocean so obviously they are called saltwater pearls.

There is also the large Golden or white south sea pearls and the decorative freshwater pearls which are inexpensive.

The pearls usually have four grading when it comes to quality. It is called as A, AA, AAA, and the AAA+ quality. The pearls with AAA and AAA+ grading of quality are the highest quality.

You can purchase these cultured pearl jewelries from any jewelry stores. You can also try browsing online to find the most affordable and classic pearls. You can also find a great bargain sometimes with online auctions.

It is still advisable to buy pearls in stores that have certification on being an expert with jewelries and of course from those with license. This is for you to be rest assured that you will buy the authentic ones.

Calling ALL Stylists!!!
By: mocha.mammi | 15-09-2008
I think I have pretty good taste and sense of style, but I want to kick it up a notch and make it more sassy and fashionable - NOT trendy. I have a co-worker who is always so chic and sassy - and it's like she does it so effortlessly. I hate to admit it, but sometimes I imitate her style! I want to be able to coordinate and put together outfits from head to toe and not have any faux pas in between. Ultimately, I want to be the one who gets imitated!! In an attempt to broaden my knowledge,' I've started reading books on fashion and style. Any thoughts and/or ideas on how I can achieve a more complete/comprehensive look?!
