Everything about Freshwater Pearls
July 6th, 2010Pearl jewelry is among the most beautiful jewelry one can own. Its simplicity and elegance cannot be matched by any other jewelry in the market. It gives one a classy and elegant look. One can go to events and occasions looking great even without trying just by wearing pearl jewelry.
Among the most beautiful pearls are freshwater pearls. These pearls differ from saltwater pearls as they only occur in certain species of freshwater oysters. One such specie is of the family Unionidae while saltwater pearls come from the family Pteriidae.
Freshwater pearls are cultured in rivers, lakes, and ponds. The pearls from cultured oysters are typically harvested within 2-7 years after the nucleus is introduced to the oyster. This long wait is why it is more expensive than Akoya pearls which can be harvested after only a year.
Like saltwater pearls, this type of pearl can be of any size, shape and color. Different shapes can be produced by introducing a shaped nucleus that the pearl shape can follow. The different color and size can be achieved by using different species of oysters. Most pearls with unconventional colors like purple and pink are freshwater variety.
Most cultured freshwater pearls are not nucleated so most of them are all nacre which means that a great majority of the pearl is made up of layers of calcium carbonate. Also, having a thicker nacre would mean that the pearl would last long against wear. With proper cleaning and care, it could last for decades without losing its luster and beauty.

What are some famous quotes about Pearls and Pearl necklaces?
June 6th, 2010I am looking for famous quotes about pearls and pearl necklaces. They should generally relate to fashion, culture, and timelessness.
How about a pair of pearl earrings in Luxembourg!
May 12th, 2010Pearl earrings might be a word widely used in the fashion scene of jewellery. But it also has a mentionable use in the film industry. When I say Luxembourg in the heading, please don’t shake your head thinking too much about it. I am talking about Luxembourg Drama Films with the display of pearl earrings. There might be a thousand of scenes in almost every Hollywood or Bollywood film where someone is wearing a pair of pearl earrings. But this is not the topic of our discussion. There was a British film by the name “Girl with a Pearl Earrings” released in the year 2003. This UK drama film Girl with a Pearl Earring, was adapted by Olivia Hetreed based on a novel written by Tracy Chevalier. This film is named after a painting with a same title by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. The painting depicts a girl wearing pearl earrings. This film ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ was directed by Peter Webber and produced by Andy Peterson and Anand Tucker. The film was edited by Kate Evans and the nice cinematography by Eduraddo Serra. The film stars Colin Firth as the painter Johannes Vermeer, Scarlett Johannes as Griet the girl wearing the pearl earrings.
This film is a portrayal of the relation between master and servant. The pearl earrings wearing girl is Griet whose father a ceramic painter loses his vision. Due to this, Griet was forced to work as a domestic help in Vermeer’s house. During her interactions as a servant Vermeer discovers her interests and knowledge in painting. Vermeer subsequently begins giving her lessons in painting, taking care to keep their meetings secret from his wife Catharina, who would react very negatively if she found out the relation between Griet and Vermeer. On a routine trip outside her master’s house, Griet befriends a young man named Pieter played by Cillian Murphy. Vermeer’s sponsor Van Ruijven sees Griet on a visit to the Vermeer household and asks the painter if he will give her up to him to work in his own house. When Vermeer refuses, Van Ruijven ordered to serve him with a painting of Griet for him. Vermeer pierced Griet’s earlobe so that she can wear one of his wife’s pearl earrings for the portrait. After the painting Griet runs to Pieter to get emotional strength. And this is somehow the whole story in the film.
The film was so nice from all the angle of appreciation that it won various film awards in the year 2003, namely Dinard British Film Festival Audience Award, Dinard British Film Festival Golden Hitchcock, C.I.C.A.E. Award etc. It also got various nominations like Academy awards of Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Costume Design. BAFTA nominations for best British film, best score, best cinematography, and best costume design, best hair make-up, best actress, best supporting actress, best art direction and best adapted screenplay. This film depicting a girl wearing pearl earrings also won nomination for the best film in British Independent Film Awards.
So, if you are looking for a film showing a little of jewellery with a difference, you can book a ticket of ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ for the next show at your nearest multiplex.
