Lustrous Whispers
Nothing whispers elegance more than a strand of pearls. Whatever size, color or shape, these beauties make a statement that promises to enhance every outfit or occasion.
When searching for your next strand of pearls, or even a timeless gift for someone special, there are so many choices that there is sure to be something for everyone.
Pearls found in a bay, gulf, or sea are considered the most valuable, but they are also the most rare. These natural pearls are created without any human intervention. Popular saltwater pearls include Akoya, South Sea, and Tahitian; these may be created naturally or cultured.
Cultured or farmed pearls make up the majority of pearls that are found on the market. They are said to be identical to a natural pearl with the exception that cultured pearls were purposely created after an irritant is forced into a pearl-bearing mollusk.
Freshwater pearls were created in rivers and lakes and are known for their durability. These pearls can also be formed either naturally or cultured.
Pearls can be found in many different colors, but white, cream, yellow, pink and black are the most common. That deeply intense shine that gleaming pearls are known for is called their luster, a reflection of light that varies depending on the pearl’s size, color and origin. The highest quality, most valuable pearls tend to be softer in hue and more radiant.
Delamina offers a wide variety of high quality pearl pieces.
