Pearls are used to make jewelry since ancient times: in ancient Rome, they were often called the tears of Aphrodite. Roman families who could afford it bought their daughters a pearl or two each year, so they could have a full collar at their majority. No wonder they were so expensive: until the beginning of the twentieth century pearls were obtained almost solely by chance.
But these days, you do not absolutely have to wait for so long to get yourself a delicate and elegant pearl collar or bracelet! Pearls are now the subject of a special pearl culture, developed at first by the Japanese, the most prominent one being Kokichi Mikimoto. Especially since the 1970s, the secret of their technique has spread to all the Pacific islands. Nowadays, when you are looking for something that will add a splash of style to your everyday wardrobe, a huge choice of pearls is out there! Pearls are massively back in fashion and with the modern twist of being stringed on a gold wire or a special stretching synthetic cord they are essential to the millennium look.
The unique iridescent shine of pearls is due to the reflection and refraction of light in the thin translucent layers of nacre. The thinner and more numerous they are, the finer is the brilliance. Pearls are often of a clear white color, especially as for the freshwater ones, sometimes tinged with cream or pink, but may be tinted yellow, green, blue, brown or black. Black pearls are still the most rare, but their production, particularly from Polynesia, has significantly increased in the last years.
