Perfectly formed: The language of pearl shapes
Gloria NobiliI. The special nature of pearls
Pearls aren't simply round, as one might imagine when one hears or reads the word "pearl" —they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and lusters. They tell many stories through their diverse unique characteristics. Some are perfectly symmetrical, others irregular and as individual as works of art. In this article, we present the most important forms – and show you how to easily filter them in our shop.
Pearls are far more than just shiny spheres—they are the only gemstones created by living organisms and not worked on, as they are already complete and perfect. Already complete , they are not shaped or cut by humans—and are therefore an absolute natural wonder from the depths of the oceans.
Thus, the different pearls reveal through their individual forms, important facts about the origin and type, the price segment and rarity as well as their collector value.
In this article, we'll show you the most common pearl shapes - from "round" to "coin" - to explain how you can use our practical "pearl shape" filter to find exactly what you're looking for in this online shop @ LUNASPERLEN .
