If you are planning to buy pearl and diamond earrings either as a gift or as part of your jewelry collection, then you just made an excellent choice. This combination is not only worthy, it also has lasting beauty and elegance that many envy.

It is always best to know your pearls. If the pearl is more dominant gem in your earrings, then be sure to choose a good quality one. Even if the diamonds in your earrings are high quality, a bad pearl will ruin the whole look of your jewelry. Here are some tips and information on pearls.

Among the gems, the pearl is the most unique since this is produced by a living organism which can be mollusk or oyster. They are formed each time a foreign particle, like a sand grain enters the shell. The mollusk or oyster then reacts by treating it as an irritation and proceeds to coat it with nacre, a crystalline substance. It is the same component that we find in the interior of the shell when we open it.

The foreign particle is continuously coated with layers upon layers of the nacre until it develops in size. In the end, this foreign particle with the layers of nacre becomes a pearl. Natural pearls are formed this way and are more often shaped irregularly.

Cultured pearls and natural pearls are basically the same in terms of quality. They are still real pearls, except that the former’s production involves a intentional implantation of a foreign substance to stimulate a mollusk. The value of a pearl depends on its quality -size, shape, color, thickness of the nacre luster and texture. Since pearls are naturally occurring gems and no two are alike, these factors can vary greatly.

Pearls and diamonds can coexist as components of an earring but you have to be keen on the proper care because of their contrasting characteristics.

Pearls are softer gems because they are organic while diamonds are the hardest gemstones in the world. Pearls can get easily dented or damaged if you are not less careful about their storage. The best thing to do is to tailor your care on weaker gem which is pearl.
