Pearl earrings are the perfect answer for those looking for a sophisticated and refined look suitable for all occasions. Pearls hold a quiet but powerful elegance when worn alone, and can also highlight your favorite jewelry when worn together, graciously taking a step back to let your other pieces shine. Our pearls have been cultivated to have thick nacre, high luster and very clean surfaces. Pearls Canada believes in quality and longevity. We use secure and heavier posts and butterflies to ensure security and peace of mind for our customers. A cultured pearl is an organic gemstone created in a controlled environment, such as a pearl farm, using a bivalve mollusk. The center of the pearl is referred to as "nucleus". The nucleus is mother of pearl bead derived from the shell of a pearl-bearing mollusk. The nucleus must be implanted with a tissue graft from the donor mollusk into the gonad or existing pearl sac of the mollusk. As a defence mechanism, the mollusk secretes nacre, a composition of calcium carbonate and conchiolin. The nacre forms concentric layers around the nucleus. There is simply no such thing as a "perfect match" whether in color, shape, luster, etc. This is the one trait, unique to organic gems, that sets them apart from colored stones and diamonds. Whilst the most costly pearl strands are those that display very little difference between beads, these strands often take years to assemble and are priced accordingly. Slight variations in color, luster and shape of pearls, even within a single strand, are to be celebrated and enjoyed. If true uniformity is what you crave, you simply will not find it in organic gems such as pearls. A pearl can not form from a grain of sand as nacre does not bond with inorganic materials.
