The Beauty of Cultured Pearl Necklaces

Pearls have been one of the most highly coveted materials throughout history. In fact, they have been seen in almost every culture throughout time and they are still loved today. Part of the reason that pearls are so highly valued is because fresh water pearls that are satisfactory for use in jewelry are not all that common and this is why cultured pearls have become so popular and why many women are choosing cultured pearl necklaces instead of fresh water pearl necklaces.

The wonderful thing about cultured pearl necklaces is that they are more affordable than fresh water pearls. The reason for this is not that they aren’t real pearls; the fact of the matter is that they are just pearls that were given a little helping hand. Cultured pearl necklaces are still beautiful but they exist because they were created by pearl farmers who raise the pearls in a very controlled way.

Buying cultured pearl necklaces is often preferential to many because the pearls are more balanced and symmetrical. When you are dealing with fresh water pearls you have no control over size, shape, and color. Cultured pearl necklaces are usually much more balanced in appearance because the farmers can control more of the elements that affect these things. There are some truly beautiful and unique pearls that come from the farms, resulting in some stunning cultured pearl necklaces of different sizes, shapes, styles, and even colors!

In addition to being offered in different shapes and colors and even sizes, cultured pearl necklaces are usually a lot more affordable than fresh water pearls. The reason for this is that there is a constant supply of cultured pearls while there may not be of fresh water pearls. This availability makes the cultured pearl necklaces just as beautiful, but more affordable.
