  • Tahitian Pearls
    Pearls are special, there are no other gems quite like pearls, and within this group, Tahitian cultured pearls are exotic. This is even more so when talking about black pearls with fantastically colored overtones. There are no other pearls with a color called “aubergine”. A pearl necklace of clean, round, 14 mm, perfectly matched, aubergine colored Tahitian cultured pearls is truly stunning.

A little less known story was her love of pearls. Well this 2,000 year old story contains both of her loves.

  • Akoya Pearls(Saltwater) versus Freshwater Pearls
    Some obvious differences and some not so obvious differences.
    Here’s what this is all about:
    1) As you may have noticed. Freshwater pearl jewelry is less expensive.
    And you know the Akoya pearl is more expensive

    A few reasons for this difference, one the freshwater pearl is easier to grow. Freshwater pearls are easier to grow because the process of nucleation is different and easier. The amount of nucleation per mollusk is much more in the freshwater pearl mussel (at one time 40 to 50) the most an akoya can produce might be 4 or 5 and I don’t think they do that often because quality goes down and mortality goes up. Freshwater mussels can be nucleated again with less mortality than the one time for akoyas. There is more control over the environment, ponds and streams as opposed to ocean water, which has typhoons and red tides to contend with.
