Tips for Buying and Using Pearl Bracelets
A bracelet is an ornament worn wrapped around the wrist. It is an article of jewellery that can be made of cloth, metal, gem stones, diamonds and sometimes rocks, wood, or shells. Bracelets can also be used for medical and identification purposes. A pearl bracelet is a valuable gift that shows high regard. Now, let me give some good tips on how to buy a pearl bracelet.
It should be made using genuine pearls : If buying online, terms that refer to fake pearls include “faux pearls” and “Mallorca pearls.” Real pearls are known as either “natural” or “cultured” pearls. Check to see if they come with a certificate of authenticity. If buying at a local jewellery shop, run the pearl gently across the front of your tooth – if it feels gritty, its real.
Get the right colour clasp or setting: Most women favour either white gold or yellow gold for their jewellery. See what she usually wears. If in doubt or if she wears both gold colours equally, choose the gold colour to match the pearls. For pearls that are black, silver, white with silver overtones, grey, lavender or peacock, choose white gold. For pearls that are golden, white with ivory overtones, pink, multicolour, green or black with copper overtones, choose yellow gold.
Choose the best pearl colour: White pearls are suitable for all, but will look better if the overtone is chosen to match the skin tone. White with rose overtones looks good on a fair person with light skin. A person with dark skin looks good in black pearls and silver pearls and in white with either silver or ivory overtones.
Pearl bracelets are very popular all over the world. It is however advisable not to wear your pearl sets for an extended period of time because pearl being softer than most other gems can scratch more easily or loss shine faster. Hence, if you are wearing your pearl bracelets then remove them after you come back from a party and wipe them with a soft cloth to remove any traces of perspiration or outside dust. This will help you to maintain the shine of the bracelet for many years.
Pearl bracelets come in so many types. The most expensive pearl bracelets are those with spherical pearls – the rounder the pearls, the more expensive the bracelet. Symmetrical pearl bracelets include pearls that are pear-shaped and any other shapes that have symmetry but are not round. Lastly, baroque pearls are irregularly shaped pearls – the least expensive, yes, but they are unique and beautiful as bracelets too.
