Clusters of small odd-shaped pearls made into earrings that dangle from the ear can be very artistic and beautiful. Tiny elongated rice pearls strung in a small cluster for each ear is a captivating design. Multicolored seed pearls mixed with crystals also make a fancy pair of earrings. An extravagant pair of earrings of a different variety is the keshi pearl earrings that hang from a fine golden chain with tiny black diamonds trailing down to the oddly shaped keshi pearl. When in motion these breathtaking earrings sparkle like the moon.
Heart shapes, diamond shapes, crosses, triangles, buttons, bars, navettes and teardrops are some of the fancy-shapes of our freshwater earrings. A pearl technician inserts beads with these shapes into the mussel’s mantle tissue to create these wonderful shapes of freshwater pearls. These are definitely different from your conventional pearl earrings.

There are many are occasions for presenting a lovely strand of pearls to you loved ones. Pearls are the best way to say “I appreciate you” or “I love you”.
Our cultured pearl necklaces are clean (flawless) and have a metallic sheen that makes them a valuable investment. When other gifts depreciate and loose their value, pearls, like diamonds, are just as beautiful and valuable as the day they were purchased. In fact, as time passes, pearls increase in value, because many pearl beds become depleted or polluted waters can destroy the oysters all together. Fewer places are left to culture pearls which makes these sea jewels rarer and more valuable.
