PEARLS
Throughout history, the pearl, with its warm
inner glow and shimmering iridescence, has
been one of the most highly prized and
sought after gems. In ancient Rome, pearls
were considered the ultimate symbol of
wealth and social standing. The Greeks held
the pearl in high esteem for both its
unrivaled beauty and its association with
love and marriage.
A natural pearl begins life as a foreign
object, such as a parasite or piece of sand,
that accidentally becomes lodged in the
oyster's soft inner body where it cannot be
expelled. In an effort to ease this irritant, the
oyster's body takes defensive action and
begins to secrete a smooth, hard crystalline
substance around the irritant in order to
protect itself. This substance is called nacre.
As long as the irritant remains within its
body, the oyster will continue to secrete
layer upon layer of nacre around the irritant.
After a few years, the irritant will be totally
encased by the silky crystalline coatings.
The result is the lovely and lustrous gem
called a pearl.
Cultured pearls are formed by oysters in an
almost identical fashion, except that man
surgically implants the irritant - a small piece
of polished shell - in the oyster, rather than
leaving it to chance. The process from then
on is the same as with natural pearls.
Swarovski (Austrian) Crystal is
considered by many people to be the finest
quality, full-lead crystal made today. It
contains a minimum of 32%PbO, making the
crystal optically very pure. The crystal is
then faceted with tremendous precision,
creating beautiful prisms. Brilliant colors
and/or coatings are added to these crystals
to create pendants, stones, and beads of
dazzling beauty and tremendous variety of
shapes and sizes. Swarovski Crystal is
unmatched in quality and distinction
.Swarovski beads are made in a factory in
Wattens, Austria. Swarovski crystal beads
are created using a formula perfected by
Daniel Swarovski and his three sons at the
turn of the 20th century. All Swarovski crystal
beads are fired using a combination of
quartz sand and natural minerals, then
cooled slowly to avoid causing stress to the
crystals. The high percentage of lead in all
Swarovski crystal beads (32% compared to
competitors 24%) as well as the secret
manufacturing process produces high quality
Swarovski crystal beads with a diamond like
brilliance.
AB - Aurora Borealis is a coating that gives
the crystal a rainbow sparkle effect, it was
inspired by the Northern Lights.
Care Recommendations:
Pearls should not be exposed to water,
cleansers, excessive perspiration or
prolonged sunlight. They may be cleaned
with a soft cloth.
Sterling silver will tarnish over time. To clean,
use a polishing cloth, commercial cleaner or
sprinkle a fair amount of dry baking powder
on a soft cloth. Rub carefully to avoid
scratching stones or glass components.
When done, shake the powder off.
