Pearl is one of the few organic gemstones found in nature. Wearing a pearl necklace can emphasize a woman’s elegance and gentleness, and bring out the full power of her softness. It is usually worn at weddings, funerals, attending significant meetings and events, or as fashion jewelry in daily life. Jewelry, like clothes, must fit properly to reveal the charm of the ornament and the person himself, otherwise both will lose their luster. So, how do we choose a pearl necklace that will add color to our lives? Now, I will discuss it from a professional point of view to give you some references.
First is the size
Ordinary pearl necklaces have a 0.5 cm diameter difference from the clasp to the center. Take the following two necklaces as a reference: the pearl on the right clasp has a diameter of 8.5 mm and the center part is 9 mm; while the pearl on the left has a diameter of 7 mm from the clasp and 7.5 mm from the center part.
Pearl necklaces of different lengths, wearing on the effect is also different, so we can according to their own face shape, personal body type, tall, short, fat and thin and preferences pick the right length, only choose the right necklace for yourself, can wear elegant temperament.
1. Pearl necklace about 30cm
30cm or so of the pearl necklace length is relatively short, suitable for long face type of women to wear, because this length of the pearl necklace can make the face appear more complete, so that in the visual aspect to produce better results.
In the picture above, two women with long face shapes matched with short pearl necklaces around 30cm, which rounded the whole face line and prevented their faces from looking more slender.
2. Pearl necklace around 40-60cm
Pearl necklaces around 40-60cm are of moderate length and suitable for round face women to wear. This is because this length of pearl necklaces can make the face and neck look slender and well-proportioned.
The two round-faced women in the picture above chose pearl necklaces with a moderate length of 40-60cm, which lengthened their faces contours and made their overall appearance more proportional.
3. Pearl necklace around 70-90cm
Pearl necklaces around 70-90cm are longer in length and suitable for square-faced women to wear, as this length of pearl necklace can improve the visual effect and make square-faced women’s angles less obvious.
The two square-faced women in the picture above chose pearl necklaces around 70-90cm, creating an elegant layered look and softening the angles of the square-faced women’s faces.
Next is the color
Why do we see pearls in addition to white, black, gold, pink, purple, champagne and so on in other shades? How do their colors actually come about and why do different pearls have different colors? Reasons include:
1, the body contains trace elements, chromogenic ions metal ions and organic pigments of different types and their content will affect its color.
2, different kinds of mussels or shells will also produce different pearl colors. This is related to genes. This principle also applies to pearls.
3. Environmental factors also affect the color during the cultivation process. For example, the time and intensity of light, the type of water, etc. May change its color and shade.
Clearly, everyone has different preferences for color, and it can only be determined according to their own preferences. However, not every color is suitable for us, so we need to select our pearl necklace color based on our age and skin color.
1. Pink-orange color pearl necklace
Pink-orange pearl necklace is more suitable for young women under 30 years old, because pink-orange pearls are more enthusiastic and lively, and the color of pearl sunshine can increase people’s affinity. It represents the color of romance. Young women under 30 will look more youthful and energetic when they wear it, making the whole person look younger.
2. Purple pearl necklace
Purple pearl necklace is more suitable for women between 30-45 years old, because purple pearl is different and can show the noble and mysterious sense of women. Its mysterious color and the temperament of women between the ages of 30-45 is more in line with the wear will not look old-fashioned or childish, can highlight women’s atmosphere and elegance.
3. Gold pearl necklace
Golden pearl necklace is more suitable for women over 45 years old, because the golden pearl represents nobility and wealth, and can fully show the charm of women over 45 years old. Gold represents elegance and nobility. Women over 45 wearing gold pearls, the whole person is luxurious and noble.
4. Black and white pearl necklace
Black and white pearl necklaces are the most elegant and versatile, not subject to age limitations, no matter what age group to wear, can show a charming charm. Pure white, mysterious black, wearing it will look like the whole person has a good temperament, very temperament, is the two colors that women love to choose.
Then the second is the shape
Pearls are formed by a layer of calcium carbonate wrapped around the pearl nucleus in the mussel shell. However, some pearls can be distorted due to the inability to adjust them artificially. Therefore, pearls that are pure and circle in the center are the rarest. Basically, necklaces used for weddings and funerals for formal occasions should go with pendants like the ones I’m talking about here, which are usually round. However, fashion necklaces are not necessarily round, but each one has a different shape and personality, which is what makes them so interesting.pendants like the ones I’m talking about here, which are usually rounder.
Next is the luster
If the outer nacreous membrane of a pearl is too thin, durability issues such as cliffs and cracks can occur. A certain thickness is necessary to produce the unique luster of a pearl. However, this does not mean that all is well if the nacre layer is thick enough. If the outer layer of the pearl is not uniform in thickness, the pearl luster will be pure white and fuzzy. Therefore, after looking at the size and shape of the pearls, we can also look at their luster. I think this is the most effective way to compare them.
Finally, there is comparison
Pearls are not polished after removal from their shells and will inevitably have scratches, dents and other surface features. Like the brightness mentioned earlier, every pearl is different, so I think it’s appropriate to compare them. However, customers often ask which is more significant, blemishes or luster. As for blemishes, it’s usually not visible unless it’s a very large mark, so I think luster still more significant. If you want to choose a pearl necklace, you should compare them together and it will be easier to see which one is better.
