Pearls Again!

“I must go seek some dew-drops here,

And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.”  Wm. Shakespeare

As you may know, lately, I’ve been mad for pearls—take a peek at Mystique des Perles and Morgane La Fay, to mention two of the newest necklaces.

In the meantime, have you ever wondered about the difference between cultured pearls and freshwater pearls?

Well . . . they all come from mollusks, however, freshwater pearls (which actually are “cultured” as well) come in many more colors, including white, peach, plum and purple—all of which can be found in the same mollusk.    They also come in more shapes, including baroque, coin, peanut, coin and near round; and more sizes.  Where they may not be as “perfect”, they are much more affordable, and give the same lovely, magical glimmer .  Check out the collections for the many other Dominion of Light Jewels necklaces and earrings made with freshwater pearls!
