A Unique and Elegant nature.
Pearls are unlike any other gemstone. Their soft, luminous glow and natural origins give them a timeless appeal. As June’s birthstone, pearls are rich in history and meaning. At Kroman, we celebrate their elegance, uniqueness, and quiet strength.
Born from Nature, Not Earth
Pearls aren’t mined from the earth like most gems. They form inside oysters and mussels, deep within oceans and lakes. When a small irritant gets inside the shell, the mollusk coats it with layers of nacre. Over time, this creates a pearl. Each one is completely unique.
Types of Pearls
- Natural Pearls: Form without any human help. Rare and highly valuable.
- Cultured Pearls: Grown under careful conditions and more widely available.
- Freshwater Pearls: Come in many shapes and are often more affordable.
- Saltwater Pearls: Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea pearls are known for shine and roundness.
Grading Pearls
Pearls are graded by:
- Luster – how brightly they shine.
- Surface – how smooth they are.
- Shape, color, and size – all of which affect their beauty and value.
What Do Pearls Symbolize?
Purity and Love
Pearls have long symbolized purity and love. They’re a traditional wedding gift and a classic choice for brides. In many cultures, they also represent honesty and grace.
Wisdom and Peace
Because pearls take time to form, they are seen as symbols of wisdom. They also stand for emotional balance and calm. Many believe wearing pearls brings peace and strength.
Cultural Significance
Throughout history, pearls have been worn by royalty, spiritual leaders, and fashion icons. From Cleopatra to Coco Chanel, pearls have always made a statement.
Fascinating Pearl Facts
- Ancient and Treasured: Pearls have been loved for more than 5,000 years.
- Out of This World: NASA has studied pearl-like materials for use in spacecraft.
- Naturally Colorful: Pearls aren’t just white. They can be black, gold, pink, and even lavender.
