Pearls have had a long history as precious gemstones - as gifts for ancient royals or prized possessions sought-after by anxious criminals - from China, to Europe, to the Americas. Learning how to choose the right pearl earring for the right occasion is a skill you can benefit from if you want accessories that flatter your best features.
Pearls are naturally created when foreign particles enter oyster shells. The oysters produce a calcium-type substance around the foreigner and this substance coats the particle in thin concentric layers, creating a pearl. Naturally formed pears are rarely symmetrical or well shaped enough to be used as jewelry. As such, pearls are generally cultured and grown so that their shape and size can be regulated.
Before you go about learning how to choose the right pearl earrings for the right occasion, it is imperative that you learn how to spot quality pearl drop earrings. Judging a pearl requires consideration of a few factors - color, overtones, size, luster, shape and surface quality.
