Pearl Colors

Pearls come in wide variety of colors, also known as "palette of colors". From whites, yellows, golden, pinks, blues and black and almost every shade in between. Pearl color refers specifically to the color of the pearl's body, considered the fundamental color of the pearl.

Colors generally range from cream, to silver-white (most common), to black (most rare). But there are also color overtones reflected across a pearl's surface. In fact, the color of a pearl more often than not is a meld of its body color and its overtone, a pearl with a "rose overtone" will describe a white pearl with a rose colored hue.

Pearls cultivate for a minimum of 3 to 5 years. They reach maturity at 5 to 7 millimeters in diameter. Their shapes and sizes are summarized below:

Round Pearls: These being the most rare type of pearl, they are ranked by how close to perfectly round they are.

Symmetrical Pearls: These pearls are irregular in shape but have a beauty all of there own. The shapes come in varieties of oval and teardrop and are ranked by how symmetrical they are.

Baroque Pearls: These are pearls with a distinctive shape. Any shape not already mentioned would be considered baroque.
