~ Cultured Freshwater Pearls ~

Cultured freshwater pearls are farmed and created using freshwater mussels.

The quality of the pearls is graded in a series of A values, based on luster, shape, surface, colour and matching.

Pearls make a great gift as June's birthstone or on a Pearl Anniversary.

~The ancient greeks held the belief that pearls were the tears of joy of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. They also believed that wearing pearls would prevent women from crying on their wedding day.

In hindu folklore Krishna plucked the first pearl from the depths of the ocean and gave it to his daughter Pandaia on her wedding day as a symbol of love, union, and purity. ~

~ Pearls symbolise wisdom. They are believed to attract wealth and luck as well as offer protection. ~

~Diamond~

Diamonds are extremely rare.

A legend claims the God of Mines called his courtiers to bring together all the world’s known gems: Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, etc. etc., and he found them to be of all tints and colors and varying hardnesses. He took one of each and crushed them; he compounded them together, and declared, “Let this be something that will combine the beauty of all.” He spoke, and lo, the Diamond was born…pure as a dewdrop and invincible in hardness. Yet when its ray is resolved in the spectrum, it displays all the colors of the gems from which it was made.

~ Caring For Your Pearls ~

Pearls are soft compared to most semi precious gemstones and are organic in nature.

They tarnish easily dulling the lustre and brilliance of the pearl.

Follow these special care instructions to make sure they remain bright and beautiful for many years to come.

* Always put your pearls on last after applying makeup and perfume

*Acids in body oils and perspiration can damage lustre so remove before exercise.

*Remove before cleaning as chemicals will damage the surface.

*Store in a lined box away from other jewellery to avoid scratching the surface of your pearls.
