If Pearls Could Talk

You may have noticed that I love pearls. I think that part of my love for them lies in their wonderful “worldliness”- pearls are found in rivers, lakes, lagoons, bays, coral reefs, and ocean floors. What a fantastic array of stories- if only they could tell their tales. That’s one of the reasons that at Fortunoff, unlike so many other jewelry stores, we tell you exactly what kind of cultured pearls (for example, Chinese freshwater, Japanese saltwater, or Tahitian natural colors) we have chosen for you.

Then there’s the incredible range of colors. Pearls come in more colors that virtually any other gem. Natural hues from creamy white to warm peach to rosy pink to rich golden to deep black are joined by dyed and enhanced colors across the rest of the color wheel.

I especially love a luscious lustrous pearl with its sharp reflective surface, shimmery play of light, and the impression that one could dive into its depths.
