Pearls Collection continued...
The quality of lustre develops during the pearl’s creation and manifests in a subtle refraction of many colours, like a sparkling sheen coming from the very centre of the pearl. Nicola’s freshwater cultured pearl jewellery pays tribute to this subtle gem reflecting the different personae, shapes and sizes of the many varied types of pearls.
Before the early 20th Century all pearls utilised in jewellery or decorative ornaments were naturally occurring, making them rare and time-consuming to harvest. A natural pearl would be found only in about one in every 10,000 creatures! These days pearls are usually cultured, which means the oysters are stimulated into producing pearls through harmless means, which has greatly increased the presence of pearls on the market. This has enabled the flourishing of the pearl industry and significantly reduced the time and effort required to produce pearls.
The timeless beauty of Nicola’s freshwater cultured pearls, fashioned into beautiful items of jewellery such as necklaces, earrings and bracelets is something to treasure and admire for a lifetime. For centuries, pearl necklaces, rings and earrings have been handed down through family generations as precious heirlooms, and worn on special occasions such as weddings and graduations. When you purchase one of Nicola Jewellery’s distinctive cultured pearl items you could become the originator of a new jewellery heirloom for your family.
