The most elegant of all the gemstones, pearls represent many virtues. A metaphor for perfection and purity, cultured pearls are a common gift for brides. Ancient Chinese legend has it that the moon holds the power to create pearls, instilling them with its celestial glow and mystery. Pearls are organic and form naturally when a pearl farmer inserts a shell bead into a mollusk. Although the culturing of pearls began in Japan with the saltwater white Akoya pearl, today the majority of the cultured pearls on the market (even traditional-looking white strands) are freshwater pearls cultured in the lakes of China. The quality of a cultured pearl is judged by luster, the reflectivity and shine of the surface, as well as the orient, which is the soft iridescence caused by the refraction of light by the layers of nacre. It is also judged by flaws or spots in the nacre: the best pearls have an even smooth texture. Other factors that affect value of a white pearl are the regularity of the shape, the size, and the purity of the color. Pearl is the June birthstone and the gem of the 3rd and 30th anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality white cultured pearl will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine white pearl jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
