Add pearls to your jewellery collection...literally



Pearls ! Almost instantly an image of tens of pearls strung together comes to mind. Pearls among gemstones was synonymous with jewellery of the royalty in earlier times and affluent older women of our times. Undoubtedly they were pricey then. Some of the exotic ones like tahitian are expensive and can really set you back by a few lac rupees but the white ones are as irresistible as ever.

Pearls for ordinary earthlings was synonymous with their teeth. Remember the age old advt. of Dabur Lal Dant manjan which went on to say Raju tumhare daant toh moti jaise chamak rahe hai. They have come a long way from that. If diamonds can be manufactured artificially and become popular as moissanite. So are a lot of pearls artificially cultured in oyster farms. Making them more affordable.

Pearls are back in favor and this time not as estate jewelry but as a must have fashion accessory. Of course they have their place firmly entrenched in the royals heart. But I am talking about the cultured pearls which are finding their place in necklaces and bangles.

So if your jewelry collection was getting monotonous its time you looked at pearls.

Featured above is a pearl bracelet adorned with real diamonds from our store.
