Pearls
A pearl is a hard, rounded object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusk. The finest quality pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries, and the word pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, and admirable.
Technically speaking, under the right set of circumstances almost any shelled mollusk can produce some kind of “pearl”. However, most molluscan “pearls” have no luster or iridescence. In fact, the great majority of mollusk species produce pearls which are not attractive to look at, and not durable, such that they usually have no value at all, except perhaps to a scientist, or as a curiosity.
Perla Fina - pearl jewelry collection includes a wide variety of freshwater pearls and cultured pearl necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Our pearls come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit every occasion and budget.
