Guide to Buying Pearls

Pearls – luminescent, elegant, lustrous, sophisticated, graceful – they are perhaps the most sought after items in every woman’s wardrobe. Whether seeking a formal look or an air of casual chic, a strand of pearls, dangling ear rings or a statement ring can add volumes of beauty to the person of the wearer. But pearls need not always be old world; they can be worn with great élan in a contemporary look. If you are setting out to buy pearl jewellery for yourself, it is important to keep in mind a few basic points which can help you choose the best and high quality pearls:

1.Natural versus coloured pearls – When it comes to the quality of pearls, one has to distinguish between natural and coloured pearls. Natural pearls are cultivated from the seas and oceans while cultured pearls are created under controlled conditions. Natural pearls are more expensive. At leading jewellers like Kanjimull Jewellers in Delhi, pearls are tested under stringent conditions before being used and the right labels are provided to help buyers distinguish natural from cultured pearls.

2.Colour – Pearls generally have a body colour which ranges from white, pink, cream, yellow, silver or black. At the same time, pearls also have an undertone which is visible when light is reflected off their surface.

3.Lustre – Pearls are much sought after for their intense and deep shine, their lustre which comes from light reflected off the tiny calcium crystal carbonate crystals composing the pearl. The larger the pearl, the more the lustre.

4.Value – The value of pearls is determined on the basis of different factors which include the size, shape, surface and the lustre of the pearl. Round pearls are more expensive than oval or baroque ones, cleaner surfaces hold higher value and also have better lustre, large pearls are more highly priced, etc.

5.Choosing from a trusted company – The choice of the right jeweller when buying pearl jewellery makes tremendous difference in buying the right quality pearls. At established jewellers like Kanjimull Jewellers in Defence Colony, one can be assured of buying only the highest quality of pearls in every ornament.
