The Basics of Pearl Bracelets

Pearls have had a special place in the world of jewelry for many centuries now. Records depict royals in various civilizations using pearl jewelry and as a symbol of high status for a few thousand years now, going back all the way to the fourth century BC. Back in those days, the only pearls available were natural pearls. As we know, natural pearls are rare and quite expensive. Centuries later, the development of periculture made pearls significantly less expensive, and put them within reach of the common person. This big step in the pearl industry increased the popularity of pearls in fashion jewelry by leaps and bounds! That popularity exists and continues to grow today. One major factor for this is that pearls are versatile. Pearl jewelry can be worn for formal occasions as well as for a casual evening on the town.

Although a freshwater pearl bracelet may not be as common as necklaces and earrings, they can be beautiful accessories for all types of situations. One or more pearl bracelets are usually part of every woman’s jewelry collection. That’s because they add glamour and charm to any outfit – formal or casual. With their natural brilliance and luster, they are well suited for a contemporary or a classy and elegant look. There are also a wide range of designs available for pearl bracelets today. When pearl bracelets were first introduced, their designs were quite simple – typically a single row of white pearls was used. Designs today have evolved quite a bit and multi strand bracelets are readily available. Other contemporary designs include small button pearls – usually colored – hanging from a sterling silver bracelet chain. This design is particularly suited when paired with sterling silver earrings. Pearl sets with earrings, necklace, and bracelet are quite popular as gifts. If you feel that a set is a bit too showy, then a pearl bracelet works perfectly well as a stand alone accessory.

When buying a pearl bracelet for yourself or as a gift for someone else, remember a few basics. Do you want a cultured pearl bracelet or a natural pearl bracelet? Cultured pearls can be beautiful, but if you want natural pearls, then be prepared to pay anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars for a pearl bracelet! Are you looking to compliment a simple and elegant style, or a more trendy and hip style? White pearls work best for the simple and elegant. You can look at colored pearls or even baroque pearls for a more hip look. The size of the pearls is important, and that is usually related to the number of strands or rows in the bracelet. A single row bracelet should have the largest pearls available or affordable. Multi strand bracelets usually have smaller pearls – in the 4 to 7 mm range.
