Choosing the setting
The setting is the precious metal used to string the pearls together making the
beautiful pearl bracelet. As the pearl is exquisite even the precious metal used
should be of high quality and together the pearl and the setting enhance the
entire look and make an outstanding piece of jewelry. The precious metal used
could be gold, white gold, platinum or silver. There could be much more design
in the hook which is used to lock or unlock the bracelet. Today the fashion
trends have styles which are retro, classy, contemporary, futuristic and many
more. The design of the bracelet could be inspired by any of these fashion
trends and also could have a concept say for example; a heart shaped engraving
on the white gold in the end of the bracelet, is a perfect valentine gift. The
color white that is white gold, platinum or silver would suite the pearl
bracelet the most and it is the latest fashion trend. The choice of the setting
generally depends on the designs available and the cost.
Choosing the pearl
There is huge pearl market and many different kinds of pearls are available at
affordable prices. There is something for everybody to match their choice and
budget. The pearls are generally divided in to two categories natural and
cultured freshwater pearls. The natural pearls are pearls which are formed
naturally with an invasion of an irritant inside an oyster or mollusk. The
oyster secretes a substance called nacre to protect its insides. The nacre sits
around the irritant layer by layer and forms the natural exotic pearl. Hence
this whole process is time consuming there were very few natural pearls and they
were expensive and rare. Thanks to science an artificial way of growing or
culturing pearls was invented and from then onwards there is a huge amount of
cultured pearls grown in Japan, China etc. Cultured pearls are natural the only
difference is that they are injected manually with the irritant to start the
process of pearl creation. They can be grown in rivers and lakes and hence are
also known as fresh water pearls. The Japanese variety is known as Akoya pearls
and is very popular. The bigger the pearl the costlier it is. Usually pearl is a
sphere and cream or white in color, but now its also available in grey, black,
pink, and lavender. You could go for mixing of these different colors in the
bracelet and choose from some stunning combinations.
