Within pearls there are a plethora of options each suited for different type of personality. Pearls are categorized as Natural pearls, cultured pearls and imitation or simulated pearls. The size of pearl too matter in adding to its value. Size contributes to the price of the pearl. The shape of a pearl determines the value too. The more symmetrical the shape, the more valuable will be the pearl. Pearls come in numerous shapes like round, pear, tear, oval, etc. Pearls of irregular size and shapes are termed as Baroque. 

Tips on how to choose the right pearls for yourself:

When choosing pearls look for the luster in the pearl. The color tones should be clear, not dull or muddy.

The pearls should be without crakes, chips or disfiguring blemishes.

When strung, the pearls should blend well together, particularly in regard to orientation and color.

Caring tips for your Pearl jewelry [Do’s and Don’ts]:

- Don’t toss them carelessly into a purse or jewel box where they can get scratched against hard metal edge or harder stones like a diamond ring.

- Don’t expose them to acid based hair sprays, cosmetics or perfumes.

- Don’t clean them with chemicals or abrasives.

- Do treat pearls gently. Place them in chamois bag or wrap them in tissue when putting them away.

- Do put on pearls only after applying cosmetics, hair sprays and perfumes. So that they do not come in direct contact with them.

- Do wash pearls only with mild soap and water after taking them off. This will remove all trace of perfume cosmetics or hair spray from the pearls.

- Do bring your pearls back to a jeweler for re-stringing once a year as ordinary wear weakens and stretches the nylon threads on which the pearls are strung. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
