"This strand of pearls just arrived. The color is lighter and more a soft mocha than other "chocolate" pearls I have purchased from JTV but lovely just the same. I wish this and other colored pearls came in 20 inch lengths but the 18 works for me this time. Beautiful job--thanks!"

"These pearls are beautifully matched in color -- far more beautiful than I imagined. They are a perfect size at 8mm. These pearls will provide me with many different looks because the clasp is a lobster style one. I am planning on attaching pendants to give the pearls a different look. The earrings are perfect size. Not too big and not too small. I'm so delighted with my purchase and since I love pearls will wear them proudly.
What a great value! JTV you continue to amaze me."

Fast Facts
| Once the price of pearls was so extravagant they caused wars and even funded a war, but today cultured pearls have made this “queen of gems” available to everyone. |
| Once, all pearls were only natural, most recovered from the Persian Gulf, occurring once in every 15,000 oysters. |
| Pearls form in the mollusk in a variety of shapes, including: round (spherical), off-round, semi-baroque, baroque, rice shaped, button or disk, and many fancy shapes created by the insertion of specially shaped nucleus beads. |
| Many royal families had an obsession with pearls. Some ancient Romans covered whole pieces of furniture in pearl, and in some monarchies only members of the royal were legally allowed to wear pearls. |
 When light touches the pearl, it travels through all the layers of nacre, and each tiny crystal reflects the light like miniature prisms. The end result? A lustrous, breathtaking pearl.

A pearl is a lustrous, organic gem produced by saltwater oysters, freshwater mussels and occasionally by some shellfish. It exhibits a range of colors from white to pink, silver, cream, peach, gold, green, blue and black. Oh Mohs’ scale of hardness, pearl is 2.5 – 4.5. Primary sources of Sea Pearls include Persian Gulf; Gulf of Manaar; along the coasts of Madagascar, Burma (Myanmar), and the Philippines; many islands in the South Pacific, northern Australia; and the coastal lines of Central and northern South America; and some small beds in Japan. Primary sources of freshwater Pearls include United States, some in Europe (restricted in Central Europe).
