Pearl jewelry can be a great option for any special occasion. If you’re looking to wedding rings or engagement rings, for example, you might want to consider pearl wedding rings or pearl engagement rings. First, it is important to note that there are two different kinds of pearls: freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls. Though the two look similar, freshwater and saltwater pearls come from two totally different sources. Freshwater pearls form in various species of freshwater mussels, which live in lakes, rivers, ponds and other bodies of fresh water, in both warm and cold climates. Freshwater pearl jewelry, such as freshwater pearl necklaces, tend to be less expensive then saltwater pearls. However, saltwater pearls grow within pearl oysters, which live in oceans. Saltwater pearl oysters are usually cultivated in protected lagoons or volcanic atolls.

You might also consider looking into Tahitian pearl jewelry. The Tahitian pearl, a kind of saltwater pearl also known as a black pearl because of its darker hue, is an organic gem formed from the black lip oyster. These pearls are extremely rare and therefore Tahitian pearl jewelry can be quite expensive. Tahitian pearls have the ability to contain various undertones and overtones of green, pink, blue, silver and yellow. Tahitian pearls are great for jewelry as they come in a variety of shapes and there can therefore fit any kind of jewelry setting. Interestingly, the Tahitian pearl used to make Tahitian pearl jewelry, is French Polynesia’s largest export, making up over 55 percent of the country’s annual exports. Tahitian pearl farms are primarily located in the blue lagoons of the Tuamotu Gambier Archipelago, which is one of the five archipelagos which make up French Polynesia.

Overall, pearls can be great options as they are durable, unique and beautiful. Pearl jewelry, including Tahitian pearl jewelry, is an excellent choice when choosing jewelry.
