Stunning Pearl Jewellery at Affordable Prices

Pearl jewellery has been the jewellery of love and romance for over 3000 years, with the earliest records of pearl and mother of pearl jewellery being as far back as 5000 years ago in ancient Egypt.

In earlier times, pearls were the exclusive property of Kings, Queens, and the extremely wealthy, since pearl jewellery was among the most expensive jewellery in the world, and the desire to own it could be satisfied by only the very rich and powerful.

Today pearls still retain their powerful romantic sentiments, but they are far more affordable than in previous times. Most people are often surprised at just how affordable they are.

This is not an indication that modern pearls are of lower quality, but rather with modern pearl cultivating techniques they have become more abundant, and consequently more readily available to all.

The earliest written records of pearls come from China, where 3000 years ago freshwater pearls were described as being "not quite round," and from this flourished the beginnings of the pearl jewellery industry.

Indeed, China is today the source for most of the worlds freshwater pearls, with Chinese freshwater pearls being estimated by some to account for a staggering 99% of the pearl jewellery produced worldwide.
