But a PEARL is CREATED by GRIT captured deep within the oyster's shell. The Pearl is symbolic of women of the world - nurturing, beautiful and tough inside. Pearl Girls offers pearls at different grades (quality) and pricing. At the less expensive line; pearls can be acquired for fun and you can have LOTS of them. They are real and cost less than costume jewelry. You can lots of lesser quaity and wear them as you would costume jewelry. These pearls have flaws just as we as humans have flaws, as well as, beauty. We also offer higher grades (quality) pearls with high end silver, gemstones (topaz, jade, amazonite, turquoise and more). There are different pricing structures depending on materials used, grades and workmanship. We offer one of a kind artisan pieces and you may special order more expensive freshwater or salterwater pearls from Akoya to South Sea Pearls. Value of a natural pearl is different pertaining to quality. Quality natural pearls are very rare jewels. The actual value of a natural pearl is determined in the same way as it would be for other "precious" gems. The valuation factors include size, shape, quality of surface, orient and luster. Single natural pearls are often sold as a collector's item, or set as centerpieces in unique jewelry. Very few matched strands of natural pearls exist, and those that do often sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. (In 1917, jeweler Pierre Cartier purchased the Fifth Avenue mansion that is now the New York Cartier store for US $100 cash and a double strand of matched natural pearls valued at the time at US $1 million.) Quality natural pearls are very rare jewels. The actual value of a natural pearl is determined in the same way as it would be for other "precious" gems.
