Pearl jewelry is an all occasion jewelry that goes with any type of wardrobe. Pearl is the birthstone for June and a symbol that shows deep love. Pearl is a very rare, very fine, very admirable and very valuable object of beauty. Pearl jewelry is elegant and classic as well as hip and trendy.

A pearl is made up of calcium carbonate, a common substance found in rocks and shells of mollusks. Calcium carbonate deposited in concentric layers found in pearls is in minute crystalline form. A pearl is roundish, hard object produced within the soft tissue of living shelled mollusks. It is secreted by the epithelial cells of the mantle, a curtain of tissue between the shell and body mass.

A pearl is formed when an irritating microscopic object or a parasite is caught up inside a mollusk’s mantle folds. The mollusk, irritated by the intruder, secretes the calcium carbonate and conchiolin to cover the irritant. As long as the mollusks live, the encystation (or the secretion process) continues, the pearl keeps on growing in size.
