  Pearl jewelry comes in a wide variety of colors, including shades of yellow, white, black, grey, orange, peach and of course pink pearls. Pearls are created primarily from mollusks, such as pearl oysters, when, as a response to an irritant inside its shell, the mollusk deposits layers of calcium carbonate combined with an organic compound called conchiolin. The combination of these two form nacre, which is also known as mother-of-pearl, and is the bases for the beautiful pink pearl jewels that women so love to wear.

  Almost all pink pearl jewelry is formed from cultured pearls. During the formation of pink pearl gemstones, a small bead or tissue is implanted in an oyster and left to grow. It usually requires 18-24 months to harvest a pink pearl. The oyster secretes layers of nacre to form a beautiful pink pearl gemstone. The color of these pink pearls, which can tend to be different hues, is dependent upon the climatic conditions of the water around the oyster. One big factor in determining the quality of each pink pearl is its luster. The more brilliant the luster (refraction of light off the pink pearl), the more the pearl is worth.

  Contrary to what most people believe, pink pearl jewelry is very affordable and a great choice for weddings or any festive or romantic occasion.
