organic gem…
Our pearls are supplied by Jersey Pearl, a family company
with over 25 years experience in the creation of pearl jewellery. All of their
pearls are natural fresh water pearls. This means that they are entirely
natural. Like any other naturally formed gem, pearls come in a variety of
shape, sizes and colour from white through to yellow, pink and black. The
combination of different colours and shaped- round or baroque- creates a
dramatic and contemporary look, while white round pearls provide a timeless and
elegant necklace or pair of earrings.
Pearls form naturally in molluscs, most commonly in oysters.
The quality of the pearl is affected by the molluscs and environment which
means that pearl farming generally leads to conservation of natural beauty
spots, in an effort to achieve the best pearl harvest. A pearl takes roughly 8
years to form.
The freshwater pearl is often given as a gift on first
wedding anniversaries, but it also associated with 3rd, 12th, and 30th
anniversaries. It is associated with the month of June and the sun signs Gemini
and Cancer.
Pearls have a long history, and are often regarded as more
precious than even diamonds. Ancient Persian culture believed pearls were the
tears of spirits; in India they were believed to be the dew from the suns first
rays and the ancient Romans believed pearls were droplets of water falling off
of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.
Throughout history they have been a symbol of power,
affluence, love, luck and health.
The Jersey Pearl collection is the embodiment of ‘affordable
luxury’, and even more so with 10% off so don’t miss out!
