Any pearl which is naturally formed inside an oyster or a mollusk in the ocean(saltwater) or in a lake or river(freshwater) without any human intervention at all. Basically, these pearls were usually found by deep-sea divers either in the ocean or lakes and rivers.

These are the real pearls created inside a mollusk but by some slight form of human intervention such as introducing an irritant inside the oyster/mollusk in the form of dead tissue or a grain of sand etc.

Any pearl that is formed inside an oyster/mollusk in the ocean(saltwater) or lake/river(freshwater) but with some human intervention(usually introducing a piece of tissue inside the oyster/mollusk which stimulates the natural process of pearl formation.) Almost all the pearls today in the world are cultured whether saltwater or freshwater. Let’s face it…no one can really afford the cost of deep-sea diving for hours to finally find an oyster that may or may not have a pearl inside it!! This is because an oyster/mollusk will only form a pearl if an irritant enters inside it (say a piece of tissue, tiny organism, a grain of sand.)

1.) Avoid direct contact of your pearl jewelry with perfumes, chemicals, cosmetics & lotions etc. We recommend that u wait for 15 mins after your makeup/perfume/lotion before you put on your pearl jewelry.
2.) We recommend that:
*you store your jewelry in a Ziplock pouch.
* Never store your jewelry in a jewelry box made of velvet/cloth etc.

The Tooth Test: To find out if a pearl is real, lightly rub it against the front of your tooth — not against the edge, which can scratch the pearl. If natural or cultured, rather than simulated, the pearl should feel gritty. The artificial/simulated pearl will feel smooth against your tooth.

We use 2 main types of metal in our jewelry that is sterling silver & regular metal alloy.
