Color – is determined based



Color – is determined based on two things: the body color and the overtone. The body color is the main color of the pearl, which can range from the more common white, cream and silver to green, gold, blue and black. The body color depends on the kind of oyster the pearl was produced with as well as on the water conditions prevailing at the time of its production.

The overtone is the translucent color/s that you can see on top of the body color, although there are pearls with no overtones. Imagine the pearl as a colored ball and imagine an overtone as a colored plastic wrap over it. The overtone can add to the luster and depth of the pearl and can change its main color a little. For example, a pearl may have a cream color with pink overtones.

Size – generally speaking, the larger the pearl, the more valuable it is. Size is measured in millimeters and determined by the pearl's diameter.

Shape – pearls come in a wide array of shapes: the spherical (round and near-round), symmetrical (oval, button and drop or pear-shaped) and baroque (irregular and non-symmetrical).

Luster – pearls are reflective gemstones. The higher its luster quality, the more it can reflect light and surrounding images and the more brilliant it is. Luster is dependent upon the quality and amount of nacre that the pearl contains.

Surface quality – pearls of high value are those with little imperfections like spots, bumps or discolorations. The more nearly perfect it is, the more valuable.

Caring for your pearl earrings

While diamond rings have traditionally been comprised of a single diamond or solitaire, the current trend is a ring with a center stone and side diamonds. As for settings, there are over half-dozen categories to choose from. The prong setting is still the first choice for most buyers, but that the bezel setting is also popular. And, while yellow gold may make a comeback in the future, the hot metal for diamond rings is still platinum. While it's pricier, it's also heavier, hypoallergenic, and will never tarnish.

For ages, corals have been used as talismans against bad luck and evil spirits. This might not be pure superstition, because even modern science recommends using corals in therapy, for soothing fears and tensions. A diamond is not cheap.
