Freshwater Cultured White Baroque Pearl 30mm Half Drilled 1pc

Baroque is the term used for irregular shaped pearls and these extraordinary single Pearls are one if the best examples of Baroque we have seen. You can see the circular nature of the main pearl body which then sweeps away with unadulterated elegance into a substantial glorious tail show-casing the awesome lustre perfectly.

This is a stunning bead-nucleated Pearl with a superb white/silvery pearlescence which is perfect for any Jewellery Maker but most certainly for those amongst us who absolutely cannot resist show-stopping decadence.

This is a considered purchase however you may be interested to know that, as with Diamonds, Pearls jump enormously in price as they hit certain size points, for example, 3mm, 6mm, 9mm. Each increase beyond these size triggers commands an increase that often seems disproportionate but it’s because of these industry-wide pricing scales. This particular Pearl is incredible value for money.

Marie’s most recent visit to a Pearl farm last year (before any restrictions) resulted in the most incredible first-hand insights into the farming of cultured pearls, which in turn has translated into our wonderful Pearl Category. Perfect for every Jewellery Maker.

Where gemstones form as minerals underground, pearls are organic; they form within the soft tissues of a living creature; a mollusc.

The difference between natural and cultured pearls is most simply described as cultured pearls are given a helping hand by way of a mantle inclusion. 90% of today’s Pearl market is for cultured pearls.

Once the Pearls have been harvested, they go to market for sale. As buyers we all need to be aware that there is a mass flood of fake, cheap imports and need to be careful where we buy our Pearls from.

At Chalmers Gems we 100% guarantee the authenticity of our Pearls and only procure Pearls after carefully assessing the merits of all of our suppliers and select the very best strings at the very best value.

Pearls are an organic material and will vary in size and shape and may differ from the images shown.
