Pearls can be natural, meaning they were formed in the oyster with no human intervention, or they can be cultured. Natural pearls are very rare and found mainly in the Gulf region of the Middle East. Understandably, they carry a hefty price tag. Cultured pearls run the gamut as far as price goes. At the least expensive end of the spectrum are freshwater pearls, ranging in color from cream to pink, from gray to lavender, and even gold hues. They are cultivated mainly in ponds and small lakes in China. Freshwater varieties are also sometimes dyed various colors for use in inexpensive fashion jewelry.

PEARL CHOKER
While the traditional pearl necklace is eternally classic, it’s the choker length, most often measuring
between 14 and 16 inches, that’s enjoying an uptick in interest among younger consumers. This shorter style definitely seems to resonate with fashion fans who previously may have viewed pearls as something worn by their mother or grandmother but now see a choker- length design as a fun, chic addition to their wardrobe.
