Pearl jewelry: timeless classics

Pearl jewelry has always been a classic in women's jewelry boxes as well as a symbol of refined elegance. This classic has however taken on a new look in every era. These days women can wear pearls at any age and on any occasion without looking too formal or staid. You just need to choose the right jewelry.

In this article we will introduce you to the different types of pearls and give you advice on which jewelry to choose, how to mix and match pearls and how to care for them.
A wide variety of pearls in many colors.
When it comes to pearls, the first thing many people probably think of are long strings of pure white, round pearls. However in terms of color, size and shape, pearls come in many different forms. At the KLENOTA jewelry studio, we work with several types of pearls, each with its own specific characteristics and unique allure.
Freshwater pearls
Pearls from lakes or rivers which are commonly called freshwater pearls come in a variety of colors. Apart from pure white, they can occur in various shades of light colored pastels such as pink, lilac or even green. They stand out for their distinctive luster and durability. A big advantage of freshwater pearls is also their affordable price. This is mainly due to the fact that up to 20 pearls can be grown in one pearl oyster shell.

In our collection you'll find a wide selection of jewelry with freshwater pearls. Choose from necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets in various colors and combinations.
Tahitian pearls
At the other end of the color spectrum are Tahitian pearls, which are among the rarest pearls ever. They come from a special type of oyster with a black rim, mainly in French Polynesia. They are a relatively recent discovery in the world of jewelry, having only made their debut on the market in 1845. They tend to be above average in size at around 10 mm. They are dark green to black in color and have a beautiful metallic luster.

Tahitian pearls have an exotic, mysterious, even mystical feel to them. They suit white gold the best and also look good in combination with white diamonds. In the KLENOTA range you'll find minimalist pearl stud earrings and pendants with a single pearl and luxurious necklaces made of round as well as baroque Tahitian pearls.
South Pacific pearls
Pearls from the waters of the South Pacific are among the rarest types of sea pearls and are highly sought after in the jewelry industry for their size and unique beauty. They range from pure white to a distinctive golden color. They are a few millimeters larger in diameter than Akoya pearls, usually ranging from 10 to 12 mm, but larger pearls around 14-16mm aren't exceptional.

Baroque pearls
Baroque pearls which have a certain amount of exuberance and playfulness are currently very popular. Their surface can be wrinkled and bumpy in various ways. While with round pearls we value regularity and symmetry the most, the very opposite is true for baroque pearls. What becomes valuable is their originality and uniqueness. No two baroque pearls are ever exactly the same.

These pearls will appeal especially to women who prefer a bohemian casual style, but also to all lovers of current fashion trends.
