Natural or cultured pearl jewelry : Antique jewelry Charming pearl par excellence

What they have in common is their birthplace, but the formation of these treasures of the sea is quite different.

The natural pearl forms naturally within a shell. It is the layers of mother-of-pearl accumulated around a small foreign shell that has entered the host that forms a pearl of varying size and shape. Fine pearls have become rare. Only antique jewelry still contains them. The largest and most beautiful of them see their price soar.

The cultured pearl is artificially formed in the shell in which the hand of man comes to implant a nucleus around which the mother-of-pearl settles in fine layers. Of various origins, the most beautiful were cultivated in the 1930s in Japan. Some are more characteristic by their orient (color) than others like the Tahitian pearl with its gray shades or the Gold pearl with its golden hues from the South Seas. 

The Keyshi pearl is without a doubt the most original. Naturally formed inside a shell, the nacre is deposited randomly because the implanted nucleus has been rejected. It then forms pearls with incredible contours. Their orient is always incredibly nuanced and soft. Pearls that Mother Nature has created individually...
