How Much is a Keshi Pearl Jewelry?
The Legacy of Pearl in Jewelry Design
The pearl has been synonymous with ladylike elegance since the Tudor period — learn what to look for when shopping for vintage and antique pearl jewelry as well as how to tell the origin of a pearl with our handy primer.
Every woman at some point in her life desires a simple strand of pearls. They are elegant, timeless, versatile — just ask Coco Chanel or Jacqueline Kennedy — and valuable. In 1917, Pierre Cartier famously traded a double-strand of natural pearls for a Fifth Avenue mansion, the Cartier brand’s flagship store ever since. And if you were born in the beginning of summer, pearl is the June birthstone.
It is possible to tell where a pearl originated from its appearance. Akoyas are usually round and white — the classic pearl, if you will. South Sea pearls are normally larger and vary in color; orangey yellow ones are not uncommon. Tahitian pearls are mostly black but can also be gray or brown, and between the Akoya and the South Sea varieties in size. Freshwater pearls, or Orientals, run the gamut in terms of color and size, but in shape, they tend to resemble Rice Krispies. Another important distinction is a round pearl versus a baroque pearl. A round pearl is self-explanatory, but there are two types of baroque pearls: symmetrical and asymmetrical. In general, the symmetrical variation commands a higher valuation. Within a strand of pearls, uniformity is prized — the more the individual pearls resemble one another, the more valuable the strand.
According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the earliest recorded mention of a pearl was in 2206 BC by a Chinese historian. Centuries later, Christopher Columbus made it a point to visit pearl fisheries during his 15th-century exploration of the Caribbean. Since the late-19th century, the Japanese have been at the forefront of cultivating pearls, when jeweler Kokichi Mikimoto successfully cultured the world’s first pearl in 1893.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Pearl jewelry can last for generations as long as it is properly cared for. Avoid letting your pearl jewelry come into contact with lotions, perfumes or hair products. Always handle it with clean hands and clean it gently with a soft cloth occasionally. Avoid wearing it with other necklaces that can scratch it. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and new pearl jewelry.
- Is Honora jewelry real pearl?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Yes, Honora jewelry is real pearl. The American jewelry maker produces pieces out of freshwater cultured pearls. A cultured pearl is a real pearl, but it isn't the same as a natural pearl, which mollusks produce on their own. Instead, cultured pearls develop inside mollusks with the help of some human intervention. Naturally occurring pearls are actually very rare, so many high-end jewelry companies utilize cultured pearls in the same way that Honora does. Shop a variety of Honora pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Seed pearls are small pearls that get their name from their diminutive size.
