Since ancient times, pearls have been revered for its unblemished attributes. One of the oldest known gems to mankind, a shard of this enchanting organic stone was also found in the Sarcophagus of a Persian princess. Since antiquity, its magical powers have been looked up in awe. The Latin word for “pearl” literally means "unique".
It is therefore not surprising, that jewelry crafted from sea gems are most sought after. Although their affordability and popularity is growing by the day, the fact remains that some of them are still rare and command an exorbitant price.
These organic beauties are formed by nacre, secreted in defense action due to irritation caused by foreign object entering a mollusk.
Tahitian, Japanese Akoya, South Sea and Freshwater are some of the popular sea gems which are available in an array of colors and shapes. Among them, black orphic gems are the most coveted ones because of their unique colors. Pink sea gems on the other hand are loved by brides and men who want to gift something beautiful to their valentine or fiancée.
No wonder then a bridal jewelry set has become an integral part of weddings, especially today when the choices are numerous. But buying the perfect jewelry needs a lot of planning, focus and the right budget. A bride’s dress also plays an important role during the selection. The adornments should complement the dress and other accessories. A case in point is a necklace, which forms a critical part of a bride’s jewelry kit.
For open neck dresses there is really no limitation, but for an up and closed neck, a pendant is highly advisable. These days the inclination is more towards lighter and simple designs which makes pearl an ideal gem stone.
Even the base metal for these embellishments need to be carefully picked. A 14K white gold makes sense but if the color of the pearl is black or multicolored then gold is recommended. Gold also has the power to give decent returns year on year, which makes it a good long term option. A drop earring and a three string bracelet makes the set complete in all respects. Care should be taken that none of the accessories look out of place or gets in the way of the wearer’s movements.
Since mid nineties, Tin Cup jewelry, an adornment crafted wittily for all occasions and attires has become a favorite with the fairer sex. It complements women of all ages with its intelligent settings. Its looks are deceiving. Although simple in design, it screams of class and elegance.
This class of adornments is different from regular orphic gem embellishments. The distance between the two consecutive pearls is quite big. Their sleek design accentuates a woman‘s feminine persona.
