The vast world of pearls
They can be classified into two main categories.
- Cultured or natural pearls, essentially composed of nacre and produced by different species of molluscs, including oysters and mussels.
- Freshwater pearls come from freshwater mussels found in China. They often have a beautiful natural white color, but can also have purple, pink, or lavender hues. Round or sometimes button-shaped, their affordable price makes them particularly attractive to those looking to buy them.
- Akoya pearls, originating from Japan, are round and of very high quality. AAA-grade Akoya pearl jewelry pieces are exquisite and command high prices, characterized by a prestigious style.
- Pearls from Australia and the South Seas are the rarest and most expensive. Their exceptional luster is reminiscent of materials like silk or satin. They come in a variety of colors: silvery white, gold, creamy white, and pale pink.
- Cultured pearls from Tahiti and Fiji stand out with original colours: black, silver grey, green, blue, aubergine… They can have various shapes: round, circled, baroque or irregular.
- The others, made from various natural or synthetic materials: wood, glass, metal, plastic… These are widely used to make costume jewelry . At Nune, we notably use natural stones cut into bead shapes to create vibrant jewelry.
