“I am very pleased with these earrings. I love the design, the service was second to none so all in all I couldn’t be happier.”

 

Pearls have been used in jewellery for around 6,000 years, and record of their commercial harvesting dates back to at least 2,500 years; they’re one of the most ancient gems! Pearls are known to come from oysters, but they can also be produced from clams, abalone, and mussels. Natural pearls are extremely rare nowadays because only one in several million mollusks yields a pearl. Therefore, farm-grown and cultured pearls are more common.

“Love my earrings from Demi & Co, they are super stylish and really comfortable - not too heavy on the ear. Perfect for going out.”

 

So what are cultured pearls? Peals form by an irritant getting deep enough inside a mollusk shell that it can’t expel it. The shell’s producing system then coats the irritant with nacre, and this creates a pearl’s distinctive surface luster. Cultured pearls are formed under the same conditions, and are chemically and physically the same; created in both salt and freshwater farms. In underwater pearl farms, a piece of mantle tissue and mother-of-pearl seeds or shell beads are inserted into the interiors of bivale mollusks such as oysters, and nacre is secreted to coat it, just like in nature! The oysters then convalesce for four to six weeks, before being transferred to cages between seven and ten feet underwater, where they continue to grow for one to six years.

“I have bought 4 beautiful bracelets and earrings they are absolutely stunning and fabulous quality, and the price is very reasonable, I recommend Demi & Co excellent company.”

 

Pearls are measured in millimetres, mommes, and grains. A momme is used for the quantity of pearls; one momme is 75 jewellers grains (a jewellers grain is equal to 0.25 carats, so that’s 18.75 carats. Round pearls usually range from 2 to 9 millimetres, and baroque pearls may reach 50 mm; they are measured by their shortest diameter, and other shaped pearls are measured along the longest and second longest dimensions. Larger pearls are less common, so they are more expensive as they demand a higher price per weight.

“The earrings are beautiful and the service was excellent.”

 

A really important aspect about owning pearl jewellery is to make sure you are taking good care of it! Pearls are delicate, so you should exercise caution with them. Here’s our top tips:

 

  1. Never submerge your pearl jewellery in soapy water. If you want to clean it, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soapy water (not detergent).
  2. Put any pearl jewellery on after you've put on products such as perfumes and hairspray. These products can often contain acids and alcohols that ruin pearls.
  3. Pearl rings and bracelets should have protective settings. If they don't, wear them only occasionally rather than daily.
  4. Wipe your pearls with a damp cloth after wear.
  5. Store pearl jewellery in a cloth bag or in a box away from other gems to stop them getting scratched.
  6. Pearls are very heat sensitive so never use mechanical systems like ultrasonic or steam to clean them.
