Fine natural pearls are rare and valuable and, for the most part, always have been. Never take anyone's word that their pearls are natural, even "inherited" pearls. Most of the time these inherited heirlooms turn out not to be natural, or even cultured, but fake. Imitation pearls have been around for centuries. Even Mrs. Harry Winston and the Duchess of Windsor owned and wore fake pearls. Of course, they also had "real" pearls in the safe!
If you are buying a strand of pearls represented to be natural, make sure they are accompanied by an identification report from a reliable lab. Natural pearls must be x-rayed to confirm authenticity. Always be sure to have proper documentation, no matter who the owner or how wealthy, or how old the piece.
Farmed in the sea around California, Cortez pearls are also referred to as New World Black Pearls. Cortez pearls are produced in the Panamic Black-Lipped Oyster and the Rainbow-Lipped Oyster, which produces highly iridescent pearls. Most Cortez pearls are baroque, with round pearls forming less than 3% of normal yield. Cortez Pearls are the only Fair Trade pearls.
Mabe Pearls
Mabe pearls are the semi-round Pearl Jewelry often seen in jewelery. They are often used in making earrings and rings, and are formed by using a hemi-spherical nucleus during nucleation, and implanting it against the shell of the oyster. When harvested they are referred to as blister pearls, and are worked into Mabe Pearls by cutting away the shell and filling the back with resin. This is then mounted on a mother of pearl back.
Keshi Pearls
Keshi pearls are formed when the oyster rejects and spits out the implanted nucleus before the culturing process is complete, or the implanted mantle tissue fractures and forms separate pearl sacs without nuclei. These pearl sacs eventually produce pearls without a nucleus. Keshi pearls are made of pure nacre, which results in their high lustre. They are generally small in size and, because there was no nucleus to guide the ultimate shaping of the pearl, their shapes vary widely. Keshi may form in either saltwater or freshwater pearls.m0re:pearl necklace jewelry
