Material: Pearl Style: Necklace Length (inches): 18 Metal: Silver Plated Main Stone: Pearl Main Color: Pink - 9839-031618-EB-03812 A pearl is a hard glistening object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusk or another animal, such as a conulariid. Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate (mainly aragonite or a mixture of aragonite and calcite)[3] in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes, known as baroque pearls, can occur and in jewelry are many times as or more desirable than round. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries. Because of this, pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, admirable and valuable. The most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild, but are extremely rare. These wild pearls are referred to as natural pearls. Cultured or farmed pearls from pearl oysters and freshwater mussels make up the majority of those currently sold. Pearls have been harvested and cultivated primarily for use in jewelry, but in the past were also used to adorn clothing. Whether wild or cultured, gem-quality pearls are almost always nacreous and iridescent, like the interior of the shell that produces them. However, almost all species of shelled mollusks are capable of producing pearls (technically "calcareous concretions") of lesser shine or less spherical shape. The types of pearls are: Tahitian pearls that come in a range of colors from white to black.[2] They can contain various undertones and overtones of green, pink, blue, silver and yellow. The most valuable of these are of the darker variety, as the naturally dark tones of the Tahitian pearls is a unique quality among pearls. A true black Tahitian pearl is extremely rare, and largely considered one of the most beautiful kinds of pearls in the world. Most Tahitian pearls that are identified as “black†are actually charcoal grey, silver, or dark green.[3] An advantage of the Tahitian pearl is that the oyster inside of which they grow is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as ten pounds. This means that a Tahitian pearl can more easily grow to a larger-than-average size.[3] The cultured Tahitian pearl comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors; shapes include round, semi-round, button, circle, oval, teardrop, semi-baroque and baroque.[4]Because of their darker hues, Tahitian pearls are commonly known as "black pearls".[5] However, Tahitian pearls have the ability to contain various undertones and overtones of green, pink, blue, silver and yellow. All (or any combination) of these colors may be seen in a cultured Tahitian pearl. Due to the variety of shapes and colors of the Tahitian pearl, it has been known to fit in any jewelry setting.[6] The versatility and mixture of color give it its value. Akoya Pearls are the most popular pearl and are also the most well-known Saltwater Pearls. They are made from the akoya oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii). They were first cultured in Japanese Pearl Farms during the early twentieth century. Akoya Pearls can also be harvested in pearls farms in China, South Korea, Vietnam and Australia. Â
