Colored Pearls
Generally a pearl is of a creamy white and luminescent color. However, pearls come in different colors also like gold, cream, black, blue, pink, and green. Many pearls actually come in a main color with a shade of a second color as an overtone or highlight. The combination of these colors influences the value given to a particular stone. A white body with pink hues is one of the most expensive and most popular pearl colors.
Shape of the Pearls
Pearls come in a variety of shapes. The most valuable pearl is the one with a perfect round shape. The other most beautiful pearl is in the shape of a teardrop and is common for pendents and earrings. Uniquely shaped pearls are referred as baroque pearls.
Selecting a Pearl
The selection of pearls include a number of factors like:
Pearls are porous and they can soak up other substances. So if you notice a large blemish ask the jeweler whether it can be removed or not.
Look out for cracks in the pearl.
Look for a good and uniform luster in a pearl. These pearls should appear shining under a fluorescent light.
Perform a tooth test on the pearl to determine if it is real. Cultured and natural pearls will feel rough against a tooth, while imitation pearls will feel smooth because it is actually a type of manufactured bead.
Pearl Engagement Ring Costs
Pearls are less expensive as compared to diamonds. However, a natural pearl engagement ring can be much more expensive than a diamond engagement ring. a pearl engagement ring can be more difficult to set than a more durable mineral gem and many times a pearl engagement ring is also adorned by small diamonds or other types of gemstones.
If simplicity, commitment and purity is what you wish to signify then pearl engagement rings are the perfect choice for you.
