A closer look at the pearls and finishes in the collection, so you can choose with a clearer picture.
Freshwater cultured pearls
Freshwater cultured pearls grow in freshwater mollusks with human involvement in the cultivation process. They are genuine pearls.
Small differences in shape, surface and luster are part of the material. The pearl size and shape for each style are listed with the product.
Simulated pearls
Simulated pearls are manufactured beads made to resemble pearls. They may use a glass-based or shell-based core, depending on the piece.
They are a different material from cultured pearls. The selected style and its material description are shown together on the product page.
Metals & finishes
Metal composition and finishes vary by style. See the individual product description for the information that applies to your piece.
Gold tone and silver tone describe color. They do not, on their own, mean that a piece is solid gold or sterling silver.
Color & scale
Lighting and screen settings can affect the way colors appear. Check the listed millimeter size alongside the photographs when choosing your piece.
