Pearls have always been regarded as some of the rarest, most valuable and symbolic of all gems.
There are two types of pearls:
Natural Pearls are created when a foreign body, such as sand or a
parasite, enters the pearl oyster. The oyster reacts by coating the
irritant with layers of nacre, giving the pearl its beautiful lustre.
Cultured Pearls form when an irritant enters the oyster and the
same process occurs only it is a small pearl or bead which is
surgically inserted. Due to the high price and rarity of the Natural
Pearl, South Sea and Freshwater Pearls are cultured and are the
most common type of pearl today.
All our pearls come with Kitalé Pearls' unique Quality Guarantee. For further enquiries or to place an order, please contact us.
